Oh. [ Strange to be inside Mika’s dreams and also outside as he was dreaming them, waiting - waiting... He cups Mika’s soft face with a hand, thumb by his lips - just… gazing at him with warm eyes. ] I hope I was there for the good dreams and the bad.
[ And there were, he knows, bad ones. Those fitful nights had been a sleepless concern. He doesn’t think he’s ever been in Mika’s dreams before; he’d hardly slept enough to have them. ]
I think we’re still family…
[ Since barrier of entry is just (as far as he knows)… love and affection, and that hasn’t changed. ]
And - something more. Um, I was waiting to ask if you wanted to be… officially… something - together? There’s boyfriends, lovers. You’re - definitely - the love of the rest of my life, but that’s a little long. [ His thumb moves to brush over Mika’s bottom lip, pressing down lightly. He’d say it proudly, still. ] … There’s more, but I don’t know what fits us best. Do you… have a preference?
