[Taken off guard for all of a second, Rin has to make an effort not to downright laugh at the suggestion, lips pressed into a thin line. It's not that the idea is ridiculous, and he's honestly touched that he's so openly been given a second home, but between that and Rei's Very Formal love confession from earlier, it really did seem like he was pushing for marriage. But Rin knows it's wishful thinking.]

Very. [Said in response to Rei's question, but whatever negative connotations that may have are hopefully washed away by the gentle press of Rin's lips to his, one that speaks of love much better than his words ever could.] But very sweet, too. I definitely appreciate it.

[Rubbing the tip of their noses in an all too affectionate gesture, Rin resumes his idle petting and pampering, hand running down the length of Rei's arms until his hand is within reach, fingers intertwined. Cheesy or not, Rin knows the offer is genuine, honest and open-hearted like Rei himself-- and all the more meaningful, knowing how hard it must have been for him to overcome his inhibitions and say that. A precious gift among the early Christmas parade this day has been.]

I mean, I know I'm flighty and all, and that's okay. It's what I have to do to keep improving, and I think it's fun to try and adapt to so many new places and people, anyway.

[He pauses for a chuckle, bringing Rei's hand to his mouth. He doesn't kiss him, but just holds him there instead, letting his lips brush against knuckles as he speaks.]

But it's good to have a home, too. So thank you for that.

[Thank you for being my home.]
