@wehavefoundthestars sent 'come sit on my lap.'
he has to control himself in the moment because those were dangerous words for the dirty blonde . they hadn't been together in that sense yet and his heart picks up just a little . spending time with the taller male made things feel so much more concrete between them . it felt like fresh air being pulled in with each breath and damn , he's more than happy elio had taken the flight to come see him , to actually have time together face to face and just exist in a space that it could be the two of them . he's happy -- viveka can even tell when he checked in with her . he's surprised that elio hasn't tired of him just yet , however . he's talked -- a lot , been a weirdo with him , little spurts of energy being released because he's usually so much more active during the time he's awake . and yet , he can't see elio falter in the way he looks at him and it's ... refreshing . it pulls on his heart just like veka had when she accepted every quirk he had .
what felt like ages in his active mind had only been a couple of seconds in pause , his cheeks a soft pink as he hopes that elio doesn't think it's hesitation . more so it was appreciation of the effort brought forward to solidify their relationship . even though they were there to spend time together , he's happy elio still brought along a book to keep busy in times , winding down after their dinner on the couch in the room . being alone , but together , was healthy in his opinion . he uncrosses his legs from his sitting up position in the bed and he's moving towards him . his steps are certain at first before they're nearly little shuffles and he's dropping to the couch , one knee at a time to straddle over elio's waist . daithi doesn't waste time for his arms to come around the other's shoulders , his nose going into the crook of his neck and eyes closing . he's breathing in the now familiar scent of elio that he's come to love and knows will be hard to miss once their days are up together .
the closeness between them makes him hum out , the comfort of being like this with elio washing any kind of worry away in the moment . whatever he needed to do to ensure elio that this could work , he was prepared to do . he didn't want this to slip through his fingers , to admit defeat in the relationship department when this was the only other person that his heart clung too . he's pulling back just a bit , enough so they could see one another and smiles a little as his fingers play with the short curls on the back of his head . ' i wish you didn't have to go . ' a bold statement , but one that he couldn't stop himself from admitting .
