[Rin matches the kiss in kind, slow and chaste, but with his arms clamped around Rei to pull him closer, bodies further sliding down the couch in all enthusiasm. Now is the spring of their youth, and if there's a time to be worrying about relationship status and pacing, it is miles ahead of them, when the need for settling down and starting a family starts knocking on their doors.

And maybe it's a show of puerile naivety, but right now, Rin is absolutely sure there can only be one person to share that future with.]

Never thought I'd be hearing that from you. [It almost sounds like a complaint, but that huge smile plastered on his face is enough to offset his words. It's not that he ever doubted the strength of Rei's feelings-- because he does feel very deeply about those he treasures, Rin learned as much from their earliest interactions-- but more because his nerd of a boyfriend had a strange approach to romance at first, not to mention some difficulty with showing affection. Seeing them together now, all adoring looks and gentle caresses, that's almost hard to believe.

Hard to believe they had such a rough start, too.]

But, for the record-- [Because this is getting Too Real Too Quick, Rin reaches over for a cushion and flops it down on the back of Rei's head, and his chuckling also covers up for the very embarrassing thoughts he's suddenly nurturing.] --don't say my full name after stuff like that, it sounds like you're proposing or something!

[That would definitely be moving too fast; Rin can't really say he'd mind it.]
