//eyes on me

[After a room had turned Liquid into a perfectly healthy version of himself that actually looked forty-two rather than death warmed over, his mood had improved considerably. Add that to the fact that he had finally reconciled with his Otacon, and things were definitely looking up for him.]

There should be one around here somewhere.

[So now they were walking through the halls in search of a kitchen--some calm and quiet time between the two of them was long overdue.]

Heh. So optimistic.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

Every little victory leads towards the bigger victories.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Of course.

...I always liked how bloody cheerful you were, even if it might've gotten on my nerves now and then. A cynic needs someone to counter them, after all.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I'm good for something around here. [He smiles back.] I was beginning to think you just kept me around because you liked my pretty face.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, looks like my true motives have been discovered at last. [Snickering] Only took you ten years, I thought you were supposed to be clever.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

Hey, now! [He's grinning.] That's not very nice of you at all.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[He smirked, clearly just teasing him at this point.]

I regret to inform you, Doctor Emmerich, that you have been laboring under the delusion that I am a nice person since the day we met.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

Oh no! [Still grinning, he takes a step back.] Have I been fooled all this time?

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

By a master of deception, no less. The best SIS agent in history.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

[He gasps, chuckling.] I've been betrayed!

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Trust a snake and you'll get bitten.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I must have a lot of fang-marks.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[Liquid slipped an arm around Otacon's waist, pulling him close with a mischievous smirk.]

I should think I've left my share of marks on you.

[He tugged the collar of Otacon's turtleneck down slightly, giving his neck a small, playful bite.]

Even a snake without venom will bite.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

[He gasps, tilting his head to the side to give him better access.]

If it's this particular snake, I don't mind being bitten.

[♥]

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[He planted a light kiss against the spot he had bitten, smirking.]

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

Mm...

[He murmurs his contentment with that move, smiling more.]

I don't think anyone would.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Well, that's unfortunate for them.

[Liquid kissed a slow trail up to Otacon's ear, smirking.]

Because you're the only one I want. Everyone else is simply out of luck.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

...James...

[Those little kisses are very, very pleasant. They make him squirm a little and cuddle more into Liquid.]

I'm a very, very lucky man.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[Liquid's hold on Otacon's waist tightened possessively, smirk turning into more of a smile.]

I don't believe in luck. Whatever we have, we've earned for ourselves--that includes each other.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

[He looks surprised, and smiles more. That possessiveness... he loves it.]

I don't deserve you. But if I earned you somehow, then I must have done something right.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

[Liquid was, even now, a very possessive and jealous individual--if someone or something was his, he would make sure it stayed that way at all costs.]

I assure you, winning me over was no small feat--and while I may never know what I did to earn your love, it will forever be something I'm proud to have done.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

[There's a faint blush tainting his cheeks and he leans into Liquid more.]

Whatever I did to deserve you, I'm grateful for it. It was the best thing I ever did.

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

Likewise, Hal. I will always, always be glad I met you.

[vestri-vires.livejournal.com]

And I will aaaaaaalwaaaaaays loooove youuuuuuuuuuuu~ always be just as glad I met you.

fffff okayI lol'd

[worlds-serpent.livejournal.com]

...do you mean that, Hal?
