He lets go of Julius's coat only to wrap his arms around his neck instead. He hums absently and pulls him down for another kiss.
"You sure you can't take today off?" He asks breathlessly, his cheeks tinted pink.

11: gentle kiss
He reaches out, adjusting his brother's bolo tie, making sure to keep his gaze down as he does. When he's satisfied that it's straight he smiles and looks up at him.
He grips the lapels of his coat and pulls him down to his level, easing his mouth over Julius's in a gentle kiss.
He couldn’t look at Ludger as he finished getting ready. “Of course Ludger. Thank you.” He left the room as quickly as he could, keeping his expression straight.
His brother didn’t understand - how could he. He didn’t know what was in store for them. He should never have been so weak as to want this tiny bit of happiness. It didn’t matter if he enjoyed it - or even if Ludger did. It was not going to happen again.
His brother would be able to move on better if they never did this again…
"Julius, wait!"
He stumbles out of Julius's room, struggling to get his pants on and follow his brother at the same time. He pauses, pulling his pants on the rest of the way and buttons them before following Julius the rest of the way. He reaches out, grabbing his wrist. "Please wait."
"You now you can talk to me, right? Please don't do this."
"We shouldn't have done this..." [tranquilproof]
He lays with his back facing Julius as he moves around the room, and he pulls the blankets up over his shoulder, staring at the wall.
They shouldn’t have, but they did.
And he doesn’t regret it at all.
He rolls over and watches Julius instead of the wall. “Where are you going?” He asks after a while, resisting the urge to stretch.

Julius appears to be doing much better than before. He seems to struggle every now and then, but you wouldn’t believe there was something wrong with him unless you saw the left side of his face or his left hand. On a darker note, while Julius is improving, my problems are growing more severe to the point speaking physically hurts me. Short sentences are okay, but talking at length leaves me gasping for air. It’s… scary.
Thankfully Julius hasn’t noticed yet (although he does joke about how quiet I’ve been lately), so at least I’m not causing him unnecessary grief in the process. Just in case, Zig suggested I write little notes for my brother in the event I wanted him to remember something and speaking hurts too much. Leaving a note for someone isn’t abnormal, or so Zig’s told me, and it seems to be working. Either that or Julius is pretending not to notice. I hope not.
There are times I wish I could ask Julius to hold me like when I was little. Something about what he does when holding me always makes me feel safe and loved, and I really miss that feeling these days… I’m so silly, aren’t I?
I’m going to cut myself off here. Julius is stirring, and I want to make breakfast for him before he’s up and about. He acts like whenever I make him a breakfast in bed’s a big deal— I used to think he was dumb for doing so, but now I’ve grown to like that praise. It makes me happy, even a little bit.

He pulls Ludger close, holding him tightly against his chest. “I do love you Ludger, which is why I’m going to do this - so you don’t have to…”
"If you loved me, you'd understand I'd never let you do this." Ludger loosened his brother's hold on him enough so they could properly look each other in the eye. "If the Land of Canaan requires a Kresnik's life to visit it, then I say to hell with Canaan.
So long as I have you, Nii-san, then I'm perfectly happy. If my friends insist on traveling to the Land of Canaan, I'll kill them as they would kill us."
Just so you all know...
Sorry I was back and then just disappeared, but I'm finally playing Tales of Xillia 2, so I've been busy with school and that.
I promise I'll keep trying to pop on, but I'm going to be pretty distant until I beat ToX2 myself. Wish me luck with it!
"It was just a nightmare, Ludger, and nightmares can’t harm you." Only if they’re based in truth - which is something he’ll just leave out. He smiles at him, before starting with his cup of coffee. "Aah, just what I needed."
Ludger wasn't about to let it go that easily. He knew his brother well enough to figure out that something had been eating away at the other. He pours himself some coffee and settles down in a chair.
"You know if something's been weighing you down, you can talk to me about it right?"
