[ The fact that Date just... Says it, so easily, without any lack of confidence or awkwardness or anything like that when Ryuki has been head over heels for him for what feels like forever - it makes his hands shake, even as he turns his head to press into the kiss, to let his arms slide down so he can touch the other man's cheek. He holds him, gently, gazing at him for a moment before he nods. If there's a tear in his eye, that's fine.
It's not like it's the first time he's cried tonight.
Having Date like this, all to himself, not having to wonder about who else he might be with, who else he wants to touch, who else is kissing him... It makes him giddy, and Ryuki feels ever so briefly like a teenager all over again, his face hot and expression adoring. ]
You...
[ You could. That's what he was going to say, but he's not going to insult Date like that. For all Ryuki's lacking confidence, he has faith in Date being genuine with him now. ]
Mm... Okay. We can be dating. I'd like us to.
[ Somewhere, Tama is cheering and shouting FINALLY at the top of her lungs. ]
[ Date doesn't have a reason not to ask for what he wants. He's lived two lives, both strange and unusual, and in his previous one he might've been a bit more subdued about what he wants. After all, what did he, some yakuza assassin, deserve in the first place? But the person he is now, with a respectable life as a detective, with a daughter, redeemed from his sins, why can't he find happiness too? Why can't he chase after his bliss?
Why would he hide himself, when he's rebuilt himself from the ground up?
So, when Ryuki agrees to date him, he feels euphoria in his chest and a peace settle on him that he can't shake, even if he wanted to. He smiles, beams really, right back at Ryuki and sweeps him in close for another hug, hooking his chin over his shoulder and squeezing him tight to his body, even with his cock still nestled inside of him. ]
Hell yeah. Now you're officially my baby. My sweet little kitten.
[ Being squeezed so close to Date with his dick still inside him makes Ryuki choke, a little breathless for a moment as he adjusts to how it feels; a dick moving inside him while he is being crushed in muscular arms isn't something he ever imagined for himself, but he's enjoying it. It's not just the pleasure of it, but it's the comfort, too, of a steady weight locking all his limbs down and leaving him feeling at peace.
Lifting one of his hands, he strokes gently through Date's hair. If the other man could see his face right now... He's painfully smitten, affection surging inside of him. ]
... Mm. I'll be your baby, and your kitten, too.
[ Embarrassing?
Maybe. But with how absolutely gone Ryuki is for this man, he'd happily agree to almost anything.
Turning his head, he nuzzles into Date, full of tenderness. ]
[ At the moment, Date is not looking at Ryuki's face. He's got his eyes closed, his head tilted into Ryuki's touch as the other man pets his hair. There's a pleased smile on his face, satisfied like a cat and feeling immensely happy right now. Ryuki is... his. His boyfriend. His baby. His kitten. All his.
He kisses at Ryuki's head when he nuzzles into him, pressing kisses in a few smattering areas. Then he's sighing, happy, as he leans into him. ]
Good. I'll hold you to that.
[ Because don't think Date doesn't have a swath of nicknames to give Ryuki, to spoil him with. He's his princess, his sweetheart, his baby girl, his baby boy, his everything forever. He's so excited... the start of a new relationship is always exciting and having it with someone he feels so much for... it feels good. Feels right. ]
