( Ish's hand comes to rest over his heart, soothing its anxious beating. He's reminded of the warmth that ripples out with every beat from Ish's insignia, melting into the warmth every kiss from Ish leaves him with. )
... I'd like that. Can we?
( He noses Ish, his fear turned to the beginning of breathless laughter, like a chirping bird. The thoroughness of the declaration - no, the declaration at all - surprises him. He feels like he's being spoiled - gifted more than he asked for, grander than any offering he's been given.
He should hesitate - he should marvel at the beauty of it, before answering. But he'd accepted it instantly - insatiable as he is. )
Forever and then forever again. ( He places his hand over the back of Ish's, fingers slotting between his own. ) And only when it's really time to go. I wouldn't give up on you easy, either.
( Even knowing they'd be bound together in their passing, even knowing there'd be no parting - Ish does inspire in him a unique desire, through all his exhaustion: a desire to live.
Gently, and with warm waters and a clear sky, it begins to rain. It will soak them both, like a waves flooding into shore, if much more gradually. )
I want us to live a long, long time. There's so many things we haven't gotten to do together. There's so much time I want to spend with you.
( A kiss...! Light but sweet, like a good bye or welcome home at the entry way - a lovebird's yearning in the face of the briefest parting. )
... But, whether comes thoughtless wandering or reincarnation... ( Even though he'd considered reincarnation perverse! ) Whether we dissolve into a singular thing or drift onward, together... There's no one I'd rather spend eternity with more.
