[collectsfeathers]

[All of the males in his family have names that end in 'io'. Tradition or whatever.

He shifts a little, wrapping an arm around Noctis as he moves to lay next to him, while the other hand idly runs over the small kitten's head and down it's back.]

There are worse things you could be called.

[Silence. Dead. Silence.

And then:]

Puddle duck.

[nocts]

[That arm feels really nice. Secure. Noctis almost melts against Ezio as he holds him close. And kitten purring is just adding to it.

He almost dozes off.

But then-]

Pfff-ahahaha- what the hell?! [He almost chokes, needing some air-]

What the hell is that nickname? [He's almost crying.]

[collectsfeathers]

[He is trying so hard not to laugh right now. So hard.

Mostly because the kitten is finally asleep on his chest and he doesn't want the little thing to hate him because he disturbed it.]

You do not like it?

[nocts]

[Noctis doesn't move a lot himself because of the same reason, but he does shift his head to lean his chin on Ezio's shoulder.]

It's... different. Doesn't suit me.

Kiiiiinda terrible, [he chuckles.]

[collectsfeathers]

[That definitely makes it easier for him to lift his own head just enough to press and quick kiss to Noctis' lips before settling back down.]

Then I suppose I will have to call you bello instead.

[nocts]

[You- you can't just say things like that to him. Especially after a soft kiss like that. He buries his face back down against the shoulder, only his eyes visible.

He has to try and hide that blush somehow.]

I...I suppose bello is. It's fine. Yeah...

[collectsfeathers]

[You can try and hide it all you want, Noctis. He still knows it's there.]

That does not make it any better.

[nocts]

[He can try to hide, thank you. And he will.]

It's... it's nice. Really. [He squints at him through his blush-] You romantic sap. [The color is not going away which confirms that Noct approves of the nickname.]

[collectsfeathers]

[Looks like he's just going to have to get used to petting the kitten with one hand and you with the other. Because that's exactly what he's doing.]

Is that what you like? When I'm romantic?

[His fingers trace along the line of that blush, thumb ghosting over full lips before going back to thick black hair.]

[nocts]

[Noct's finger traces over kitten's small paw, very slowly, not to wake it, as he thinks about the question. Does he like it? It's odd, squirming feeling every time Ezio says stuff like that so- yes?]

...You're charismatic. You are making it look like it takes no effort to do it.

[And that's probably because of all the past experience, but look how much he cares. He's basking in the attention of it. His lips remain slightly parted where Ezio's thumb trails the edge of his lips.]

[collectsfeathers]

[How much effort did it really take for him to be this way? It had been so long since he'd actually had to put any thought into that he wasn't even sure anymore.

That thumb slips away and he arches upwards, replacing it with his lips, the kiss slow and oh so gentle.]

It is easy when it is the truth.

[nocts]

[There will never be an instance where Noctis doesn't feel like he's about to melt when Ezio's lips touch his. All he can do is just sigh softly and close his eyes.]

Biased as always.

[But there's no actual complaining from him. It's mostly teasing.]

...thank you.

[For the kiss. For the kitten. For everything.]
