[ He hums. ]

Who would have thought that that would be better than dramatic anguish?

hi sorry

No one. We are the very first in the world to learn it.

[ He squirms his way over to kiss Byerly on the tip of his nose. ]

And if we try to tell everyone else, they will never believe us.

[ He grins in response, and leans up to bop his nose against Bastien's. ]

Of course, maybe it is boring for them. It's only fun for the lucky man who gets to be with you.

[ Flatterer. But Bastien only grins, tired and pleased, and burrows his face in to push between Byerly's cheek and the pillow, to insist on talking into his hidden ear for no particular reason. ]

I'm happy.

[ Byerly asked him to tell him when he was, years ago now. Bastien does it less often now—it seems less necessary now to reassure By quite so frequently that he's not fucking anything up. But sometimes it's particularly true and needs saying. ]

But I never want to see a beach again unless you are also there, either half or fully naked, your choice, and there is a blanket and something to eat that I did not have to catch myself.

[ Hold on - Byerly comes more fully awake, delighted by this news - ]
