Just... random happy times...
"I love you," Zero says softly. X looks up at him, momentarily surprised by his partner's words. Then he smiled ever so cheerfully.
"Zero, you don't have to force yourself to say it." X says, with endearment laced in his words.
"I know. I didn't. I don't want you to be upset because I never say it."
X finds this amusing. "It's okay," he says confidently, "Your actions speak very loudly."
"Still. You appreciate it." Zero looks at him with a matter of fact expression.
X laughs softly... at how well Zero knows him, at how well this blunt-and-not-the-most-socially-adept person can read him so easily and is the only one who can do so... He rests his head on Zero's shoulder. "You're right, I do. Thank you."
