[It's so difficult to resist the temptation to sink into another kiss, to press close and enjoy the warmth, the pleasure of every little touch. Yet when Kaeya says that it's fine, Aether's brows curve upwards instead. The touch against his spine is careful and reassuring, making his skin tingle with tiny jolts of electricity and yet--]
I will worry.
[He says suddenly, firm as if to silence any selfish desires born in his heart. Then he reaches up, his fingers light and lingering against Kaeya's cheek like he's marvelling at something precious and fragile. But is that a surprise considering how important Kaaeya is to Aether? The traveler has met so many different people during his journey and yet none of them captured his heart like this man did.
Slowly, Aether leans a little closer again, before shifting up and planting a soft kiss to the top of his companion head.]
I will always worry about you... because you mean a lot to me.
[It's a simple confession he thinks, but one that needed to be made. Perhaps it was obvious to Kaeya what the traveler feels, but even when you know, sometimes hearing it makes a huge difference.
Silent, Aether shifts again, staying close, but still careful not to put any pressure on his companion's wounds. He looks into Kaey'a eye, waiting for his reaction. There's a small, fond smile on his face.]
