[But he isn't careful not to sit on the remote, which causes the TV to turn on with a blare of sound. He jolts, his eyes turning in that direction. Was it a ghost? An intruder?!
Nope. Just the TV, opening back up to those videos they were watching earlier. He stares at his own face, looking shocked!]
[ Ah. Elan leans in a little, eyes lidding a little in anticipation of the brush of fingers against his cheek, his smile spreading a little wider-
And then the blare of sound and TV starts him just about as much as it does Hiyori! He blinks, staring, and then bursts out laughing at the look on Hiyori's face. His gaze flicks from the real Hiyori in front of him to the broadcast, trying to contain his laughter. ]
Definitely something to watch out for in the future. Or maybe you can use it as a funny icebreaker.
[ He sighs, his laughter fading, and then he sets his mug aside and leans over, resting his chin on Hiyori's shoulder - a bit like a cat demanding attention - and lets out a low hum. ]
But I think I prefer the real you to the recording.
[He picks his butt off the couch and reaches for the remote to pause the TV recording. Now the TV is still set to his lovely face, but they're free to have their romantic (?) cuddly moment!]
Do you?
[Rather than stealing a kiss like he'd intended, he settles for sliding a hand on top of Elan's head and patting his hair. He's acting awfully petlike, after all.]
Makes sense! That show was filmed a little while ago, and I've grown even more charming since then...♪ Plus you can touch and hold the real me.
That is not what you should have said. If you want me to be quiet so badly, you should use other methods besides pointing a remote! More creative methods, and more loving ones!
[Can Elan guess what he means? He's not exactly being subtle.]
[ Elan can't suppress his laughter at Hiyori's reaction or his smile. But he knows what's being talked about. ]
Right, right. Like this?
[ He leans in and steals a kiss - lets this one linger because it's fun and because he does actually like making out with Hiyori. His arms slip around his middle and squeeze warmly. ]
[Alright, so maybe Elan did catch on okay. It's nice to see him take initiative, to feel his warmth and the soft press of his lips. Hiyori leans in, letting their foreheads brush together, his eyelids drifting shut. He hums into it lightly, a hand reaching for Elan's waist to mirror Elan's own touch. Letting it linger before he murmurs, soft and warm against Elan's lips:]
[ Look, he's not dumb. And right now he's kind of pleased with himself. He laughs softly as they lean into one another and he snuggles up nice and close with a shake of his head. ]
Sometimes I wonder...
[ But he kisses him again. And then again, for good measure. This is nice, honestly. ]
Whatever it is, he'll wait to hear it. There's no rush, and it's already taken them the better part of a year to reach this point. It's been a long, strange journey, but he couldn't be happier: seeing Elan leave his job, gain independence, and pursue his own happiness. He seems to live a quiet life, not bothering or infringing on anyone, but that's fine, isn't it? Once you've grasped freedom with your own hands, you can go anywhere and do anything. The sky's the limit.
That goes for right now, too, of course. Elan can do as he pleases and show as much greed as he wants. If he wants more kisses, he can have them, Hiyori pressing warmly into each one and touching their noses together affectionately. No doubt about it: this is a nice day off.]

I've never been interrupted by myself before!

On the other hand, I can't mute you like I can the television...
[ Moment ruined. ]

Ruuude!
