Nagoya [a month later]

Ben was still smiling as they walked away from the Portalocity terminal, his hand in Ender's. "That was a nice visit," he said. "Dad's really, really excited about becoming a grandfather, huh? I think the Ewok-themed nursery might be a bit much, though."

Comments

[momslilassassin]

"Yes," Ben gasped. "Oh, kriff, Ender--"

And that was it for Ben.

[endsthegame]

Ender bit down on his shoulder, letting himself really feel that--

--and went himself not long after, quietly with his eyes shut.

[momslilassassin]

Ben gasped for breath as he came back to himself, trembling and holding onto Ender's hands. "Wow."

[endsthegame]

"Mhm," Ender sighed, snuggling further into Ben's back. "Love you."

[momslilassassin]

"Mmmm, love you too. Stay close," Ben murmured.

[endsthegame]

"Not going anywhere," Ender said softly. "Documentary's still running..."

[momslilassassin]

"Brat," Ben murmured fondly, kissing Ender's neck.

[endsthegame]

Ender let out a little sigh. "Comfortable," he murmured.

[momslilassassin]

"Good," Ben said. "I like our blanket fort. Not moving. Maybe ever."

[endsthegame]

Ender kissed the back of Ben's neck. "Fine with me," he said softly. "We have nowhere to be."

[momslilassassin]

"Some of my favorite words," Ben decided, snuggling in.

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled, pulling himself - gently - free before snuggling back in.

He reached past Ben, for the tissues.

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a little whimper anyway and closed his eyes, missing the immediate closeness and feeling a little silly about it.

[endsthegame]

Ender paused. "You okay?" he asked.

[momslilassassin]

"Just coming back to myself still," Ben said. "Feeling a little clingy."

[endsthegame]

Ender wiped them off quickly and cast the tissue aside.

He slid his arms back around Ben. "Well, I'm not going anywhere," he murmured.

[momslilassassin]

"Good," Ben said. "Don't want to have to figure out child support."

He wasn't exactly making sense yet.

[endsthegame]

"Mhm," Ender said, sliding his arms under Ben's as he curled in even closer.

[momslilassassin]

Ben tipped his head back to kiss Ender softly, then turned his attention to the documentary, feeling warm and comfortable.

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled, kicking at some of the blankets until they were covering them at least partway. He kissed the back of Ben's head.

Then he settled in, basking above all in Ben's contentment.

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a soft, happy noise, and dropped his shields so that Ender could feel just how happy he was.

[endsthegame]

"Oh," Ender said softly. "That's good."

[momslilassassin]

"Very good," Ben said. "You make me happy."

[endsthegame]

"That means the world to me," Ender said softly, "I hope you know that."

[momslilassassin]

"I do," Ben said, leaning in and kissing him.
