MEME.
@babylnyan: ✘ "How much do you love me?" Lowkey baiting for praise and attention.

“ Gil....you’re just fishing for compliments when you do this. But I guess you do that a lot — you should really leave the fisherman business to your father, though. “
It was a little joke he thought of; certainly not original, but it made him laugh so he figured he’d deliver the joke to her as well. But he wasn’t opposed to talking about this, he did it freely as it stood, so what was the harm in doing so now?
With a soft smile, the greenette speaks; voice matching the softness of his features.
“ It would be easier to just say that I love you very much. But I understand that you like it when things are spoken in depth. Okay then. “ He pauses. “ There are very few things I would not do for you. I think of you as an existence that is beyond even the highest of gods; and each time I see you, I am reminded just how true that belief is. While you were not Uruk’s first ruler, you were its best; once you came to your senses, the city and its people had never prospered as much as they did when you governed before. That is a sign of great kingship, especially after you were once a tyrant. “
He nods. Though at this rate, this really is just more compliments than expressing his love...so that had to change a bit.
“ When I first met you, I wanted nothing more than to beat you senseless and show you the error of your ways. Instead, we both fought and fought, but never did find a winner. While I did have a hand in changing you for the better, it was you who showed me the error of mine; blindly following the gods, allowing myself to be nothing more than a tool to them. But you changed that, Gil — you gave me real purpose in life. It is because of you that I learned that my life belonged not to the gods, but to me; and for that, I will always walk by your side through anything. “
..Yes, his life was his; not the gods. But to him, even if that were true, his life belonged to Gilgamesh the moment the two of them became friends ( and even more so after becoming lovers ). He was hers, forever; that was a fact that would never change, no matter how far into the future it came to.
“ I love you, Gil. I love everything about you; your voice, your body, your eyes, your personality, your hair. You are my meaning in life. “
