You gotta catch those Z's when you can, what can I say?
[When Rean turns to look at him, those eyes couldn't have been warmer. He's looking at Rean like he's the world right now, reaching up to fix a stray piece of hair back into place.]
Well, you won't have to worry about that in this lifetime. The past is past, and whatever happened happened across time and space.
I couldn't care less about time travel--I finally got what I needed right now, yannow?
[He leans down to bump his nose against Rean's, rubbing it playfully.]
[Rean could get lost in that look, and it's clear from the look in his own eyes that he thinks the same of Crow.
He's quiet, just letting Crow respond, letting Crow bump their noses together. And he rubs back a little, too, but once he's done with that, he just tilts his head to the side, letting his eyes slip closed and pulling himself up to close the distance between them.
It's a gentle kiss, chaste, but surprisingly deep for what it is.]
[The kiss is well received, as if Crow had been expecting that the moment he bent his head down to brush noses. It's more than just predicting Rean--it was what HE wanted to do as well, and that kiss lingers on his lips for as long as he can stretch it out.
An unspoken promise between them formed then, as if silently telling each other to stay right where they're at.
It wasn't so bad, really. It's what Crow wanted more than anything.
With a soft little hum, Crow's lips lift back up as he smiles to himself, feeling Rean's warm breath against his face.]
Don't really get to be the first to say this, so I'm taking my chance now.
Love ya, Rean.
This life's Rean, especially. And not anyone else.
[When they pull apart, Rean's eyes stay closed for a second longer, just soaking in the lingering feeling of that connection before he slowly blinks them back open.
His breath comes as a contented little sigh, just about melting at those words and unable to pull his gaze from his partner's. He wouldn't want to, anyway.]
I love you, too. [Softly, but as earnest as always.] More than anything.
[Rean's answer seems to bring light to his face, that smile spreading as he kisses those lips chastely once more.
Were this any other person, Crow would find himself choking up at the words 'I love you'. They were never words he'd ever thought he'd say so sincerely.
But here he is. Looking into Rean Schwarzer's eyes and saying what only felt so natural.

Utterly and completely in love.]
