Interesting, how things all come back, how everything is awakened once more with the return of one, precious item.

Lexaeus, I need to speak with you, if you do not mind. It is...very important.

One precious item?

Is there something you need, Zexion?

[tread_the_earth]

Did he tell you that it would take longer? We are truly fortunate, then.

*Still feels amazed to see how much Zexion smiles; lifts his other arm to wrap it securely around his lithe waist*

I am happy for you. Very happy.

[vi_schemer]

No, he did not, only that he was unsure of how to help, and that it would be difficult to find a heart like the one I wanted.

*Looks up at him, stepping just a little closer as he puts an arm around his waist*

Wonderful, then.

*Leans up onto his toes and presses his lips lightly to Lexaeus'*

[tread_the_earth]

*Tips his head down as he feels the minute movements of the other, deepening the kiss with a quiet sound of approval*

[vi_schemer]

*Places on of his hands around the back of his friend's neck to steady himself, smiling a little before moving out of the kiss*

I am sure now, Lexaeus.

[tread_the_earth]

*Adjusts his hold to make their position more comfortable, raising a brow at his younger companion*

Did it take very long?

[vi_schemer]

*Shakes his head*

Once I had my heart well in place, I spent the night sorting out the emotions that came with it. Finding what I felt for you was easy.

[tread_the_earth]

And what was your conclusion?

*His smile is just a little tight, as he has not really considered how he would react to a heartfelt declaration*

[vi_schemer]

Ienzo felt deeply for Aeleus, and never let his feelings be known.

*Brows furrow a little, and he softly lets out a breath*

Lexaeus...my feelings have not changed since then. I love you.

[tread_the_earth]

...

*Watches Zexion with intense concentration, almost able to hear his own heartbeat in his ears*

... There is no one in this world, or the next, that I would rather hear those words from. I love you too, Zexion.

[vi_schemer]

*Slowly smiles, looking almost relieved to hear him say that*

...Thank you. I'm glad you feel the same.

[tread_the_earth]

You are welcome, though you do not have to thank me. I would love you even if you did not.

... And I believe the tea is on the verge of over-boiling.

[vi_schemer]

*Smiles, then turns, hearing the tea water whistling. He goes over and turns the stove off, removing the kettle and placing it on one of the cooler burners as he gets out two cups*

Needless to say, with those nicer emotions also came harsher ones...like what I feel towards Marluxia now. I'm rather glad I got him that plant for Christmas.

[tread_the_earth]

*Draws nearer, watching attentively as Zexion moves about to prepare the tea*

Hm. Harsher is perhaps not the word I would use. Should I expect a rise in mischief or passive-aggressive handling of Marluxia?

[vi_schemer]

*Chuckles softly, letting the leaves steep in the water*

I suppose I finally was able to feel anger and perhaps even hatred over what he did. But I wouldn't expect anything from him, really. The plant is harmless unless someone gets too close, and hopefully he'll have the sense to not feed it.

[tread_the_earth]

*Stands close by and busies one hand by spinning a teacup*

You honestly expect Marluxia to not feed a plant? It seems a bit counter to his nature.
