[aside from the other saja boys, mystery hasn't tried to learn much about people. humans don't frighten him, per se, but they are messy creatures with even messier lives and he isn't sure he wants to know more about them despite having been one himself before. even then, he didn't fit in like other people and had always been the odd one out when it came right down to it.
now, he has people he cares about, people he wants to be around and wants them to like him, and then here's romance giving him every opportunity to be himself and he's afraid. if he lost him, he wouldn't know what to do anymore... but romance doesn't seem like he'll be going anywhere.
he glances down at their hands on his chest, breathes another sigh then he cinches his fingers around romance's and lifts his hand to brush his lips against his knuckles.]
[ As much as it frustrates Romance, all he can do is give Mystery some time - he's a relatively impatient demon, so time is a difficult thing, but for Mystery...he will wait.
Mystery's lips are soft on his skin and he watches, sliding his hand down from Mystery's hair to around his waist, nosing into his hair, nipping lightly at his ear. ]
[perhaps mystery will break sooner rather than later and finally admit that he's afraid, that he's worried something is going to happen to them and they won't be together forever, but until that time comes, all he can do is appreciate the fact that romance is being patient with him.
he presses his forehead against romance's hand now, gently squeezing his fingers around it, his breath catching slightly whenever romance nips at his ear.]
[ It's a valid fear with the lives they lead, with this craziness Jinu's led them into. Romance is afraid of the same things, but he's also very rooted in the now of whatever this is.
He's pleased with the answer, and hums softly against Mystery's ear before speaking. ]
I think we should take off our clothes now, don't you?
[that's what mystery should do rather than letting himself get too far ahead in the future. luckily, romance is helping him do that, even if it's a slow transition into it.
his head lifts from romance's hand, though his other one joins in holding it, his fingers stroking along romance's for encouragement like it's something he really needs.]
Yes. [with clear reluctance, he releases romance's hand and lowers both of his own to rest on romance's hips, his thumbs tapping idly.] You might have to get off of me, though. [it'll be somewhat difficult to try and remove his pants with romance still on his lap, after all.]
