(...) “I’m ready to go once you’re ready,” he affirmed Osiris as his love suggested the time to move out. Excitement and anticipation for the new chapter of their story remained bright in his eyes and smile, even though hints of sheepishness were visible around the corners of his lips at the ‘confession’, “though I don’t want to put myself through the farewell thingy, it’s just too much saying and hearing goodbyes, you know. So please help me send best wishes to our friends, won’t you, love? You can feel free to tell them that I’m too cowardly to say those things to them on my own, ‘cause that’s the truth.”
osiris can’t help but snort out a laugh when tohil says he should let his team know he’s eloping with him, shaking his head a little at his lover’s antics. “you’re incorrigible,” he says, but it’s said so fondly that there’s no doubt over how he feels about that. it is why he leans in, pressing his forehead briefly against tohil’s hair - the only part of his lover that’s currently not painted.
when the mayan god then admits to not wanting to say farewell to people, osiris hums and nods, understanding that tohil is just not really cut out for that. “tell me their names and i’ll inform everyone,” he says simply, before drawing tohil further into his chest once they’ve made it to the elevator. “tomorrow,” he stresses then, as if to signal that they’re done with the topic right now. then he breathes out a content little sigh.
“right now let’s take a shower to get all this paint off of you so that i may kiss you properly again without turning blue.” he grins lightly after those words, something sparkling in his eyes as he leans in close, but just not close enough to touch. “i’ll help you wash your back,” he says fondly, warmly, a little teasing glint in his eyes. “maybe other body parts as well.”
then he winks, and lets go of tohil entirely to walk out of the elevator again and into the hallway, to go unlock his apartment door so they can get ready for bed, and whatever new adventure lies ahead for them after tomorrow.
