[Maybe it's good he's not looking properly, because she stares for quite a while before she manages to say anything else, and she's not sure she's doing a good job controlling her expression.]
...It looks good. Though, maybe I just like seeing you wearing something that's mine.
[Maybe their cheeks are just red from the cold wind,
Her eyes drop slightly, but that just leaves her looking at his chest and still very aware of how close he is. She lifts her hand to touch the choker, nudging the pentagram charm lightly with a claw.]
[well it sounds especially kinky when he says it like that]
Ah, there's...
[for a few seconds the only thing Glory can remember is the fact that she has "mid-flight hickey," which she still cannot bring herself to seriously suggest. which makes the better options—]
[He's gotta work up the nerves for this, uh, takes a deep breath. Then takes Glory's hand in his, dipping his head to place a kiss to her claw, and then another to the primary feathers of her wing.]
The wave of heat those kisses send through Glory makes her look physically dazed, her eyes unfocused and her chest rising with uneven, shallow breaths.]
...Nero...
[Her voice is rough, and there's a slight trill to his name.]
[She turns to face more forward again, so she can lean back against him and so she doesn't have to look directly at him as she chooses her words.]
It's easier to do a lot of things... I'm really glad for it.
And I think it makes sense. I mean, it's not like you were less important to me before, but we didn't have... a reason, or a name for it. There was... this space, where something was missing. It was hard to know how to think of things, and how the other person was thinking of it...
But now... you're my brother. That filled in the space, and it felt really right. Like... "oh, that's what it is." So... even if there's... stuff we're still figuring out, it's easier. Because that part is solid.
[Glory's heart feels like it thuds heavily at attracted, among the swell of other feelings rising in her chest. She struggles for a moment to figure out how to even begin to respond, but actually she's decided before what to call it when the amount of happiness and affection she's feeling is overwhelming like this—]
...I love you, little brother.
[then there's a pause. the rest of it she doesn't have an elegant expression for]
And... you're really hot like that. Th-That is... I have some kind of effect, and the combination of that and it being you is... W-Well, if you wanted to kiss some more, I'd enjoy that a lot, but... you should tell me if it's too far...
[He has to think about that for a moment. About the butterflies in his stomach, how fast his heart beats with the wrongness and rightness of it.]
I... promised Jason I wouldn't. Not-- that I wouldn't with you specifically, but - he's not comfortable with the more than one partner thing. It's hard enough for him that I'm married, and... I owe it to him.
[She's more or less expecting him to decline immediately, so the amount of time it takes him to answer already makes her feel like her heart is in her throat. When he does, it is not a reason she is expecting, and it takes her a moment to process it, leaning back firmly against him like she's anchoring herself]
—Well—of course I wouldn't ask you to break a promise.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
W-Was there anything else?
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
One more thing...
[He reaches around and unhooks the choker from her neck - with the shiny ZRAEL pentagram. His now.]
Just a little temporary keepsake.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
[It takes her a moment to realize what he's doing, and even when she does her flush creeps a little more down her neck.]
...Then, make sure not to lose it.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
I know--
[He's too embarrassed to meet her gaze, but he soon matches her for redness as he fastens it around his own neck.]
...Well?

[or her words, apparently]
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
[Ok maybe he's gonna sit back down because there's only so much embarrassment he can take before his heart just gets coughed up his throat.]
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

Mm. Yeah.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
[wow it IS KINKIER to say. rip nero]
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
Ah, there's...
[for a few seconds the only thing Glory can remember is the fact that she has "mid-flight hickey," which she still cannot bring herself to seriously suggest. which makes the better options—]
—y-you could... kiss my wings too. Or my talons.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
A-all right.
[He's gotta work up the nerves for this, uh, takes a deep breath. Then takes Glory's hand in his, dipping his head to place a kiss to her claw, and then another to the primary feathers of her wing.]

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
Ah... too much?
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
N-No, it's... fine. I mean... if you're fine.
[quick, say something normal]
You're... the best little brother.
[yes that is definitely a normal thing to say, especially in that tone of voice]
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
Well, uh... I try.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
[It's a hum in her throat that also comes out as a small trill, which distracts her for a moment.]
...I'm having fun, anyway.
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
It's-- I mean, is it weird? It feels easier to kiss you now...
[JUST COOL BROTHER THINGS TO DO]

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
It does feel right. It feels comfortable. I love being your little brother.
And... maybe I just keep feeling attracted to big sisters. This can't keep being a coincidence.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
...I know. And I love you, as my brother. That's not going to change no matter what. Everything else is just...
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
[Gonna wrap his arm around her shoulders and lean his head against hers]
Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO
Yeah. Well, maybe hot fudge or something.
