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."

Ben blushed. "Oh yeah?"

[endsthegame]

"Yeah," Ender murmured. "It's frankly ridiculous. I don't like being reminded of being able to be overpowered by anyone. But. Remember when you lifted me up just like that?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Yeah. Good thing?"

[endsthegame]

"I was a little weirded out at the time," Ender said, kissing his jaw. "Largely because I'm not used to that. But in retrospect... yes."

[momslilassassin]

"So if one night I come home and just lift you up and press you against the wall..." Ben murmured, "...not a bad idea?"

[endsthegame]

"If I know it's you," Ender said, leaning in to kiss him again.

[momslilassassin]

"I'll make sure you do," Ben promised. "I don't want to startle you. Holes in the wall aren't a good look."

[endsthegame]

Ender chuckled softly. "Not really," he agreed, running his fingers along Ben's arm.

[momslilassassin]

Ben shivered a bit and leaned into Ender's hand, smiling up at him.

[endsthegame]

Ender rolled them over so Ben was on top, and then leaned up to kiss him again.

[momslilassassin]

Ben kissed him back quite happily. "I love you a ridiculous amount, kreetle."

[endsthegame]

"I love you too," Ender said softly. He brushed Ben's bangs away from his face.

[momslilassassin]

Ben smiled down at him, then leaned in and sucked softly at Ender's lower lip.

[endsthegame]

Ender sighed softly into it, pressing up into Ben, happy to let Ben take the lead now.

[momslilassassin]

Ben straddled Ender's hips as he kept kissing him, content to take it slow.

[endsthegame]

Ender nipped at his bottom lip, then at his jaw.

He was all right with the stubble burn, today.

[momslilassassin]

"Mmmm," Ben hummed against his lips. "Love you."

[endsthegame]

"Love you," Ender echoed softly, sliding his arms around Ben.

Sometimes he just liked wallowing in Ben's presence.

[momslilassassin]

Ben nuzzled his neck, then kissed slowly along his jawline, trying to make Ender feel as cherished as he knew how.

[endsthegame]

It was working, too. Ender let out a little sigh and pressed a smile against Ben's shoulder.

[momslilassassin]

"I've got you," Ben murmured, trailing kisses along his shoulder next.

[endsthegame]

"And I've got you," Ender said softly, skimming his fingers along the scars on Ben's back, feather-light.

[momslilassassin]

Ben sighed and nipped down gently. "I never doubted that."

[endsthegame]

Ender whimpered softly and ran his fingers back up, into Ben's hair. "Good."

[momslilassassin]

Ben sucked at the hollow of Ender's throat, in absolutely no rush. He was trying to kiss every part of him today.
