[ It's nice to see the way the effects between them appear so easily and freely. For him, seeing those had always been some sort of reassurance that the feelings were true and real. As if, regardless as to what was said - no one could hide true intent that was made so real.
But with Xiao, Venti knows the things he says and does are real. He knows the other's feelings for him are real. The appearances of the effects tell everyone else that their bond is exactly as it appear to be.
He walks with Xiao, hand in hand, and brings Xiao's knuckle to his lips, kissing it a they walk. ]
I love when you say things like that, too.
[ He's sappy at his core. ]
I know you won't. I make sure things never get tiring or boring.
[ Over time he's gotten better with not flustering as much, the kizuna effects speaking more honestly than he'd ever be able to. Mostly in the way that once Venti had kissed his knuckles, it had a soft green tinging his golden hues noticeably while he smiled gently in turn. ]
Then I will make an effort to say them more frequently.
[ Nobody ever got this level of softness to his voice when he spoke, or could see the inherent happiness that was written all over Xiao's face every time he got to look at Venti. He truly was deeply in love with him. ]
You've done a good job of that so far. [ He paused, and for a second it looked like a small cecilia flower materialized in his hair, done up in shades of white, blue and a hint of teal. ] It's something I find endearing about you, Venti.
That looks really cute on you. [ Venti reached up with his hand not-holding Xiao's and brushes the hair near the flower. ] Say them all you want. All the time, only sometimes.
[ Because it's always a treat to hear Xiao be soft and kind with him. And he'll treasure each and every word the other offers up. ]
We're near the shop. If we model for photos - they'll let us bring something free home.
[ Venti had done some snooping. And then he leans in to Xiao, whispering. He sounds like he's teasing, but it's just a little. ]
The thing we get for free...might be something we'll like to see on each other, too. When we're home alone, I mean.
[ He's ... sparkling at the idea. He lets out an Ehe - as if that further makes his point. ]
[ Another flower had appeared? This seemed to be more common lately, but he wasn't minding it much when Venti said things like that about them each time they appeared. ]
Thank you.
[ Xiao allowed his own hand to grasp Venti's before it drew back, so he could press a kiss to his knuckles sweetly. A simple gesture but he didn't hold back any. Why should he? ]
I'll keep that in mind.
[ Initially upon hearing the 'model' part, he frowned slightly but never got the chance to voice his protest when his boyfriend added that next part which had his cheeks gaining the slightest touch of pink to them. Even if he's trying to keep his expression calm and level. ]
Oh. I would not be against that if that ends up being the case.
[ Ehe. He doesn't want the lingerie to be seen as a bribe, but it is definitely a bribe. He loves the cute pink in Xiao's cheeks. Of course, to be fair, he loves everything about Xiao. It's just that the pink adds an extra cute appearance to Xiao's features. Plus, it means that he had some sort of impact on him. ]
Maybe they'll even let us help each other pick something out. Of course --
[ He giggles. ]
You look good in everything. [ And he stops. ] We're here.
[ He pulls Xiao in close, hugging his arm. ]
Thanks for coming with me. There's no one else I could imagine doing this with.
[ Well it's a bribe that worked quite well all the same.
He just has to remember not to let his mind wander too much, wondering what kind of things they'd have to pick from and hoping they could pick something out. Venti would look good in just about anything with his delicate frame and beauty, after all. ]
That's MY line. I don't think there's anything you've looked bad in.
[ He sighed, looking up at the place in question and then down to Venti where he shifted as to place a light kiss to his lips affectionately. ]
There's no need to thank me, Venti. I don't mind coming with you for something such as this.
[ He's literally sparkling because of the compliment. He loves hearing it from Xiao. He know Xiao loves him. He knows Xiao finds him attractive, but there's still something to be said for hearing him offer up such a compliment. He loves to hear from Xiao how much the other cares for him because it's important to him that he always does.
He chases the kiss, placing a couple of soft, chaste kisses on Xiao's lips immediately following the other's starting it. He moves, shifting to open the door so that they can go inside and get the outfits. ]
