I know how to dance, Mochi. Maybe I'll even teach you something new.

Oh? [ he's so tempted to ask for a race instead. ] I'd like that.

[ grabbing his hand and pulling him close, and then he's just flying them both off of the bed, so they can get to the roof ]

We need a little more space if we're going to dance.

[ he grips his hand hard as he's whisked to the roof. ] Should I set the mood?

Yes.

Make me swoon for you, my darling.

[ what if he makes it drizzle, but then turns the rain to show... so there's a light dusting of snow raining down on them. he'll spur the growth of some of the nearby plants, electrifying them lightly, so they twinkle. he dips mochi, leaning down to give him a chaste kiss. ] You really like that nickname, mm~?

Is it that surprising? ...It's stupid and mundane, but I like it.

[ and he looks around, giving him another kiss in return ]

This is beautiful.

...it does have a nice ring to it. [ hums, ] Darling.

How could it not be... with you as the inspiration.

[ it's one thing if he says it, it's another if it's caeli carling him darling ]

—You don't have to say it back.

I thought you wanted me to. And if it gets this sort of reaction out of you, then how do you expect me to resist?

[ hiding his face against his shoulder ]

...

Well, I like you using my name. But it does feel nice to have a nickname just for you.

I think I have one for you.

My polar star.

[ THAT'S EVEN WORSE!! HE'S NOT COMING OUT OF HIDING.

But he is bringing his arm around him to pull him close ]

... love you.

[ strokes his hand up and down his back. he speaks in snezhnayan for this next part, ] And I love you too, my Polar Star, with all of my heart.

You make me so stupidly happy.

It's disgusting.

[ going to spin him around~! ] I'm so glad. [ he hugs him real close. ] Because you make me feel the same. Stupidly happy, that is. [ not disgusting. ]

You know, sometimes you really make me think about ridiculous things.

Oh yeah, and what's that?

Mmm ... Stuff like staying together, having a family of our own and growing like that.

...and you don't mind all that, right, because if it bothers you I can stop. [ he gives him another spin, dusting their lips together as he smiles. ] But it's hard... because you just make me feel do many good things.

Mm ... maybe I mind it a little bit. It is scary to think of.

[ kissing him back, and then shifting so he can start dancing properly with him ]

But we could think about it when we cross that line. If we're living together in Sumeru ... maybe we really could settle down. You, Haruki and I.

...mm, I can curb the domestic talk until then. That might still be a long ways away. [ he lets mochi lead the dance. ] But it's a little exciting to think about. [ being... happy. ] For now though I'm hoping you'll school me with your dancing... otherwise I'm going to take over and lead.

Stay put and follow my lead, pretty boy. I'm still in charge.

Oh? Going to enforce that, Mochi~ [ he's going to start attempting to lead just to irk him and see what he does. ] But I'm glad you think I'm ~pretty~. I make sure I'm always pretty.
