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."

"Next birthday present," he promised.

[endsthegame]

"I'm not entirely sure, but I think I just had my birthday. Somewhere. Somewhen?" Ender said, laughing a little.

[momslilassassin]

"You just don't want an adorable pillow," Ben decided.

[endsthegame]

"You can buy me an adorable pillow if you want," Ender murmured. "Just as long as it's not pottery."

[momslilassassin]

"Pottery's just for the summer house," Ben said teasingly, kissing him softly.

[endsthegame]

Ender sighed and kissed him again, shifting slightly so he could do so more easily. Looking at the screen was no longer important, after all. "Okay."

[momslilassassin]

"Of course, if you were angling for slightly delayed birthday back massages, I could do that," Ben added.

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed. "I'll do yours if you do mine," he said.

[momslilassassin]

"After a bath?" Ben suggested.

[endsthegame]

"If we can still find it in ourselves to get up," Ender mused.

[momslilassassin]

"Mmm, good point," Ben said, kissing Ender's cheek. "This is about as comfortable as I've ever been."

[endsthegame]

"Well, we're tired and curled up in a blanket fort in our living room," Ender said, teasing just a little. "I feel like we've regressed to age six."

[momslilassassin]

"The naked part would be harder to explain back then," Ben teased back.

[endsthegame]

Ender laughed softly. "Maybe," he said, leaning down to drop some kisses on Ben's arm.

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a soft, contented sound, and burrowed in closer.

[endsthegame]

"Now there's one I forgot to mention earlier," Ender said fondly. "You're handsome, too."

He trailed kisses further along Ben's arm.

[momslilassassin]

"Not the only one," Ben murmured, smiling down at him. "I've seen people looking at you."

[endsthegame]

Ender worked his fingers between Ben's and smiled up at him. "Have you? I haven't noticed."

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him. "Because you're not looking for it. You're not entirely unfortunate looking."

[endsthegame]

Ender smiled. "Well, I didn't think that," he said, kissing him again. "But I'm not really looking, no. I'm perfectly comfortable with just you looking at me."

[momslilassassin]

"Oh, I'm definitely looking," Ben murmured.

[endsthegame]

"Are you?" Ender teased softly, stretching his arms for a moment.

[momslilassassin]

Ben gave him a long once-over. "Mmm. Yes."

[endsthegame]

Ender cupped his cheek and leaned in to kiss him deeply. "I'm looking, too," he murmured. "I can still tell where we got messy..."

[momslilassassin]

Ben chuckled, blushing. "Well, no regrets on that...do that to me anytime."
