[awakenerd]

[Much as he'd like to dive right in as it were he sits up instead, catching the Exarch's hand hand leaning in, fingers tangling as he nips the older man's ear.]

Of course it's okay. Raha.

[crystallinelore]

[Fuck. For all he suggested it, it's hard not to start crying, being called by his name for the first time in over a century.

He squeezes G'raha's hand and is internally grateful that the younger man is teasing his ears instead of looking at his face.]

Okay... Raha.

[awakenerd]

[His gratitude will have to be short because G'raha is shifting, catches sight of his face and gently presses his forehead to the older man's, squeezing his hand back.]

[crystallinelore]

[Damnit.

Swearing softly under his breath but nuzzling him, his free arm looping around the back of his neck.]

Sorry...

[awakenerd]

What're you talking about.

[Sorry. Hmph. He nuzzles the older man gently.]

Has it been that long a time, Raha?

[crystallinelore]

I... suppose it has.

[weakly.]

I committed to my secrets when I came here.

[awakenerd]

[Oof. He squeezes his hand again, then pulls him into his arms to just hold him a little.]

[crystallinelore]

[o. okay. we can just do cuddles. it's true he's at least temporarily less desperately horny because emotional crisis, and... it's nice, to be held like this. he relaxes into it.]

[awakenerd]

[G'raha isn't as pent up so it really isn't a big deal for him to switch gears. Cuddles are nice and the older man obviously needs them. He pets his back gently.]

Raha.

[crystallinelore]

Mm...?

[it's doing his heart good, just being held like this. He's soaking it up as best he can.]

[awakenerd]

Just felt like saying it.

[Petting his hair with one hand while holding him close with his other arm.]

[crystallinelore]

Ah...

[voice kinda rough. he's still fighting back tears for sure.]

[awakenerd]

It's a little strange, you holding back in front of me.

[crystallinelore]

I am... perhaps too accustomed to holding back in general.

But I also... don't want to be embarrassing, for you?

[awakenerd]

It's not like I think of you as me. I haven't experienced what you have so how could I? But we're not exactly unconnected either.

[crystallinelore]

Most certainly not unconnected.

I can try to stop holding back, but I would rather focus on you instead.

[awakenerd]

[Gently tugs at his flesh cheek.]

Raha~

[crystallinelore]

[scrunches his nose!! like he's not blushing and charmed to be called that.]

What?

[awakenerd]

You're really bad at being pampered.

[crystallinelore]

[...he laughs, softly.]

I cannot deny it.

[awakenerd]

[He nuzzles his cheek.]

Mmhm. You can't

[crystallinelore]

You are being very sweet to me.

[especially with everything, he doesn't say, counternuzzling.]

[awakenerd]

Yeah, so? You're still shady.

[But sad and that sucks. It's not like he wants old him to be a sad lonely cat. He resigned himself to it too, being alone, but... it's different from the outside.]

[crystallinelore]

[mock indignant huff!]

And here I've told you my secrets!

[awakenerd]

You're still going to go around in a good acting mysterious though.
