[There's a faint look of surprise as he stares up at Azul. The words - combined with such a soft touch, on top of it all - have him feeling a little strange. But he manages to keep his reaction minimal, a quietly amused sort of sound given in response.]
[He pulls back and smiles fondly. A hand takes Jamil's, and there's no hesitation, no shyness as he brings that hand up and gently kisses the knuckles, all while maintaining eye contact.]
And for that, [He murmurs against the skin] I am grateful beyond words.
[That makes his smile widen slightly, and he lowers the hand. He then reaches up to catch the edge of Jamil's jaw, coaxing the other teen to look back at him.
[There's a surprised sound at the sudden kiss, but he lets himself relax into it. With closed eyes, he leans in, letting one hand lightly rest on one of the opposite shoulders.]
[He holds it for a few moments before pulling back and gazing at Jamil. The only thing that pulls his attention away is the sound of the notification of a new message.
He turns his head, picking up the device and letting Franky's voice play.

He murmurs:]
I don't know what I'd have done if you weren't here, my Jewel.

Date: 2022-07-16 08:59 pm (UTC)Jamil bites back a flustered sound, his gaze shifting to look at something off to the side. He doesn't manage a verbal response, at all.]

He gives a sigh.]
I suppose that's my fate sealed, then.

Date: 2022-07-17 01:12 am (UTC)You'll be okay.
[That's said with certainty.]
(no subject)
Date: 2022-07-17 01:21 am (UTC)... yeah.
[Though it's clear thinking about it makes him uneasy.
He turns his head, pressing a soft kiss to Jamil's lips.]
Thank you for coming to me so quickly. [A small smile.] You can head back now.

Date: 2022-07-17 01:26 am (UTC)Of course.
[Jamil moves to stand, holding his hands out for Azul, silently offering to help him up.]
Why don't we do something fun, later?

Date: 2022-07-17 02:05 am (UTC)How about a picnic by the ocean?
[AKA the Enclosure.]

Date: 2022-07-17 02:25 am (UTC)[A sly smile back at him.]
So does that mean you're asking me on the date, this time?

Date: 2022-07-17 02:30 am (UTC)I can't leave it all to you, after all.

Date: 2022-07-21 12:11 am (UTC)Very well. I accept.
(no subject)
Date: 2022-07-21 01:16 am (UTC)Good. [He leans in to kiss his lips.] Meet me at the entrance to the Enclosure, 30 minutes after my shift ends.
[He's working at the Commissary today.]
