You're sort of spoiling me though. I should try to cook for you too.

[He has tried before. It tends to not go so well. But he puts his all into it! He always tries. That's sort of the tragedy of his life. Komaeda isn't one to go half way, it's just not always the best outcome.

Right now though, things are going pretty well. He reaches his free hand out to settle atop Hinata's at his knee.] Though I wonder if that sounds more like a threat than something nice.

[He does always try... and Hinata appreciates it even if his mouth does not always do the same. He twines their fingers with a slow twist of his hand, their thumbs catching together, and he leans in closer to him.]

It sounds like you want to do something good for me... what's not nice about that?

[Even if he still needs cooking practice, hey, that he wants to do that gives Hinata warm fuzzies.]

Food poisoning.

[That's the not nice part. He's just being realistic. But he does want to do something nice for Hinata, so he's going to try anyway! He's going to make Hinata something delicious. The best meal ever.

Except maybe not. Time will tell. He laughs now though.] Saying things like that though, it really does make you sound pretty love struck. That has to be dangerous. Where is your self preservation? [He's teasing okay? Because he's also happy to tangle their fingers together securely.]

[He can manage a little food poisoning!! No problem. After Pyramid Head, he'd take food poisoning any day of the week, though he would prefer there be none... but it's still an acceptable risk.]

Funnily, it's gotten pretty low when I'm with you. Must be all the love.

[And for Hinata's self-preservation to get low nowadays is no small feat.]

[A heavy sigh and a shake of his head] That's worrisome. Especially when it's around me. My luck could drop the ceiling on us. Or what if it turned out I was a dangerous person.

[Heaven knows he has been in the past, though he's come a long way since believing that using himself a pawn in the murder game for the sake of hope.

But he's glad, that Hinata trusts him and loves him enough to let his guard down. He shifts all the closer, leaning over to press a kiss to the corner of his lips.]

I think that we've gotten past your dangerous person phase.

[Where Komaeda was killing himself and trying to see the rest of them dead. Hinata watches him closer and leans in, touching their lips together.]

...And, I'm not afraid of your luck. If the ceiling drops on us, we'll dig our way out, if the ground gave out, we'd climb our way up. I'm here because I want to be, and nothing's going to change that.

Was it just a phase then?

[Komaeda murmurs thoughtfully, but he kind of agrees with Hinata. Some part of him feels more settled these days. Like the frenzy of living for hope, that desperation to be a stepping stone for more useful people, it's calmed down. He's learned those lessons the hard way, and now he's trying to make Hinata proud of him more than anything else.]

Ah... sometimes you say really sweet things, you know. [Like he's complaining. But he's not really. In fact he's leaning in to chase that kiss.]

[It had to have been a phase-- because, in time, it calmed. Hinata blames their situation, mostly, thinks to what Nanami said. If it hadn't been for all of that, Komaeda wouldn't have done what he had. It didn't change that he had done all of those things, but, well...

They've already moved forward, putting that behind them. Otherwise, Hinata couldn't move to cup his face so gently and kiss his lips.]

Here I'm just trying to tell the truth, [he murmurs to his mouth. He wants Komaeda to live for himself these days, wants him to think of his own happiness and his future.]

[No he's done terrible things. They both have, but somehow they're... they're different people, aren't they? Than who they used to be? Komaeda wants to think that they are, even if it's a frightening thing in its own way.

Frightening but wonderful because he can lean into that touch, can meet that kiss. Life is pretty great, right? It really is.

His lips stretch into a smile against Hinata's.] Being truthful is a good quality. I'm just glad that those things are the truth. [He catches his lips in another kiss.]

I wouldn't be able to lie to you, even if I wanted to.

[Komaeda would catch him-- not that he'd ever. He's done lying, pretending he doesn't care, they've long moved past that part of their relationship, and now there's just this.

Kissing Komaeda again, moving his lips warmly over the shape of his smile and being glad that he is smiling.]

Then we'll both be honest.

[Komaeda has done his share of lying in the past, but he wants to leave that behind too, especially where Hinata is concerned. Much more important is returning that kiss, looping his arms around Hinata's neck, draping himself against him. He may have forgotten about breakfast entirely.

Hinata's lips are better anyway.]

[Sounds good, is what he'd be saying but his mouth is occupied. Kisses to be had, and all. Hinata sighs into Komaeda's mouth, smoothing a hand along the back of his neck, fingers finding their way up into his still bed-mussed head of hair.

They'll have to get back to breakfast eventually.

And, of course, presents. Which have been waiting oh so patiently all this time.]

[Presents! Komaeda just hopes that Hinata likes the really hideous Christmas sweater that he got for him. He totally got himself a matching one too. It's the big present! Except no, he actually got real presents too okay.

But he'll think about those when he's done kissing Hinata. It may take a little while until he's done, especially as those fingers find their way into his hair. That's okay with him, yes. He leans in closer, murmuring Hinata's name to his lips.

This continues to be the best Christmas that he has ever had. Ever.]

[Hinata can feel a shiver going through him at that murmur, right up against his lips like that. He threads his hand again and again as best he can through Komaeda's bed-mussed hair, stroking it, tugging softly.

He mmms quietly into his mouth, an attempt at returning his name quickly foiled by how quickly he's getting more and more into this kiss...]

[Komaeda's lips twitch into a smile even in the midst of that kiss because he can tell it's his name. His boyfriend is adorable. Is it wrong to think that so endearingly while he's also getting swept up in kissing him, in the fact that more than opening presents it makes him want to start tugging Hinata's clothes off.

Also a merry Christmas, but he should be more focused. Maybe.

Instead he's breathless, and winding his arms around Hinata, scooting closer like he fully plans on climbing into his lap.]

[Hinata snaps from it slowly-- very, very slowly, as it involves pulling his mouth from Komaeda's and blinking hard several times.] Hang on, Nagito...

[Blink. Blink blink.]

I think we're getting sidetracked here.

[What hey wait he was kissing just now why is he not kissing anymore.] Mmm?

[Oh now hold on wait. Right. Sidetracked. But... hmm. He blinks at Hinata like he's desperately trying to reassemble his thoughts from where he really did get swept up and distracted.]

Maybe a little. [He smiles, a shade of wicked as he adds,] It was kind of a pleasant detour though, thinking about it.

[Hinata blushes to see Komaeda looking at him like that, his gaze dropping, feeling unusually shy. Gosh. It's just seeing Komaeda like that and knowing that face is because he was all swept up--]

Yeah, it was nice, but... I want to give you your presents. Can I?

[He's mumbling...]

[Komaeda sees the shyness. Don't think he doesn't. He's always found it rather cute when Hinata has moments like this. So his expression softens as he tries to shake off the flustered feeling in his chest from kissing the other.

So okay he's got this. He smiles, nodding.] Mm! And I have presents for you too. So let's exchange them properly!

[He leans in though to drop a quick peck on Hinata's cheek.]

[Hinata sees the way Komaeda's expression softens, too... gosh. He clears his throat quietly and moves his way toward the few packages underneath the tree. He pulls them to him, setting them before him, in-between him and Komaeda.

And he watches Komaeda with a smile.] So, we'll just go one-for-one?

Edited 2015-07-04 01:41 (UTC)

[Komaeda settles in, looking from the presents to Hinata and then back. He nods at the proposed plan. It sounds solid to him. ANd he's excited. He's not really good at getting people presents... it's been a long time since he's really had a Christmas where he had someone to buy presents for.

But he tried! Really hard!

It remains to be seen how well that goes.] Mm. One for one. [A pause and he admits, actually managing to look sheepish for once.] I'm excited.

[Hinata shifts a little, excited-- it's not every day that he gets to spend his Christmas with his boyfriend. He'd never anticipated something like this ever happening when he'd met Komaeda.

And after everything, well... it was even more surprising. And yet.

Hinata chooses one package, offering it to him with a smile. There'll be a nice, warm green scarf inside...]

[Komaeda didn't expect it either. The way he thought of things, the different sorts of people that he thought he and Hinata were -- the totally different people they wound up being.

But here they are. Together. On Christmas.

Komaeda chooses a box to hand to Hinata too. It's a big box. ...it undoubtedly has a really cheesy Christmas pajamas in it. But they're soft and warm! And come with a dumb matching night cap. Komaeda is tremendously proud of them.

But once the box is handed to Hinata, he's going to open his package, running his fingers over the scarf. Oooh.] It looks really warm. [He's going to put it on right now!]

--so does this.

[Amused, Hinata holds up the cheesy pair of Christmas pyjamas. And look... there's even a hat. You know what? That's going on his head right now. Right over his ahoge. He grins at Komaeda once he has it on, amused.]

What do you think? [While he admires how that scarf looks on Komaeda...]

[Komaeda looks surprised as Hinata goes and puts it straight on, but he also looks downright delighted. Ah! Look at that look at that! Komaeda beams even as he ducks his head to try to hide it.]

I think it's really cute -- as expected.

[Hinata is adorable. This is the only way that it could have looked on him. Aww.]
