[It's absolute bliss. It really is like they'd transported themselves to a whole other world... Heizou still swears he's died and gone to heaven, because how could heaven possibly be any better than what he has here in this bed with Aether? He could spend eternity here, intimately connected with his partner - his lover - and have no complaints at all. Every sigh and kiss and declaration of love makes his heart sing, and even as they simply lay together in the afterglow he's still replaying them in his mind.

I love you. He'd heard Aether whisper those three words in the midst of his passion, and it had actually made Heizou's heart skip a beat. Aether loves him. It's hard for his mind to fully grasp the idea that someone as wonderful as the Traveler could love him, of all people, but-- he wants to. He feels the same way, he knows he does, but it catches in his throat in a way that makes it difficult to say out loud. He's... not ready. Not just yet.

For now Heizou just smiles into Aether's skin, letting their fingers twine together with a soft, content sigh. At least feeling good together is easy. At least his body can tell Aether how much he loves him without his brain getting in the way.]

Mmm, yes it did... It is a very powerful bed, you know. [He chuckles a little at their shared joke.] We probably shouldn't let anybody else ever use it. For their own safety~

[Plus they're going to need to clean this bed pretty thoroughly. Obviously neither of them mind the state of it at the moment; it's a nice warm nest that smells like the both of them and feels like safety. But as appealing as the idea of staying there forever is at the moment... They really shouldn't.

But that's for later.]

How're you feeling? [Heizou pulls Aether's hand up to where he can press a little kiss to his fingers.] I didn't hurt you, did I?
