[ He does! Tatara leans into his hold, and he doesn't even have to worry about tripping over anyone's feet. It's all air, and they drift in tandem anyway.
He laughs, bright and delighted. ]
Maybe. Or a butterfly. Or the breeze. [ He tries to pull Aguero down to him, closer, just because he likes his face and his voice. ] I guess it depends on what you are.
[ they're going to hit the clouds at this rate, but aguero might have stopped paying attention. the closer they are the harder it is to see anything else, so of course he cant resist it. ]
I think you're fireworks in the sky. And I'll catch all of you, all for myself. [ it's something he's felt for a while but never known how to say, but here where he's not thinking at all, it comes easy. ]
He would be a rich man if he had a dollar for every time Aguero steals his breath away. He feels his heart leap in his chest, and he feels sparks of his own glisten in his eyes.
He remembers the night they spent at the oasis, underneath the fireworks, how beautiful Aguero looked beneath the colors as they burst. It was only for a moment. But the image in his mind sticks with him forever.
Tatara can't help himself. He pulls Aguero into a deep, deep kiss, hoping to find the word fireworks in his mouth and swallow it for himself. ]
Then you're my sky. [ He murmurs this only after pulling back, just enough to speak, against his lips. ] Because you've already caught all of me, all for yourself.
[ aguero of course gives it to him, letting himself be drawn into the kiss like he was drawn to him from that first spark in the steam. tatara can have it all, the fireworks dancing on his tongue, the heat in his kisses, the breath in his lungs.
he doesn't want to separate but the words make it worth it, the smile they elicit pleased with a small flutter of laughter. ]
I am blue. [ obviously, but there's something funny about stating the obvious; maybe it makes the connections indisputable- aguero is blue and the sky, tatara is coral and fireworks. ]
[ He tastes it and it tastes of afternoon naps and sunshine and fire and lightning and all the other things that Tatara loves so much about him.
He can't help but grin, admire his blue, how nice it looks when the breeze plays with his hair. ]
You already have me.
[ Implications, implications. But all Tatara thinks about are his feet in the air and his boyfriend in his arms and the brilliant fireworks display they both put on together.
They'll have to come down eventually, but Tatara secretly wishes this dance could be their forever. ]
[ implications have a solid weight to them, a weight that aguero's left behind on the ground now that he's in the sky. not that he doesn't speak from the heart in every way; if he could have this moment forever he might actually agree to forgo all his other aspirations and plans.
he puts all of that into his kisses, all over his lips and tongue and the way he holds tatara tight against him. how long he loses himself in that he doesn't know, but they do have to come down sometime. ]
[ ...actually he doesn't remember or notice that part either. what he does notice is that suddenly he's feeling a little damp? on the rest of his body that aren't his lips because by now their love for one another has definitely turned messy.
he pulls back a bit just to open his eyes, blinking a few times. actually he's more than damp, he feels...wet? and the tiniest bit cold. and why is everything as hazy as his mind feels? ]
...we didn't dance into the ocean did we? [ dumbly he asks, as they float through a cloud. ]
[ Tatara laughs lightly, because of course they didn't. They're dancing in the sky, where both of them shine the brightest—
Except his little laugh devolves into a light cough. He leans into Aguero's chest, and he realizes the air is getting thin enough that he might not be able to breathe at all if they go any higher. ]
A cloud, I think. [ He says this quietly, with what his lungs will allow.
He clings tighter, and presses his lips to his neck. ]
tatara coughs and aguero snaps to reality--he hadn't noticed that the air was getting thin either because he naturally has stronger lungs and endurance due to his heritage. he's knowledgeable enough (and cognizant enough) not to drop them instantly but slowly back down to the rooftops of the city, holding his boyfriend close in an attempt to shield him from most of the moisture and cold. he magics away his outer vest at some point because it's getting soggy and just weighing him down leaving only his button-up shirt, white and purple plaid, on. ]
Sorry, I should have noticed sooner. Are you okay? [ he ultimately lands them in someone's rooftop garden, the bright flowers a suitable cushioning. his hair is damp, ends slightly wavy, but his shirt is absolutely soaked through and puckered against his chest. ]
[ Tatara's weak coughing eventually morphs back into quiet laughing. Even when he manages a deep breath to re-fill his lungs with air and even when he manages to look past his damp eyelashes to see they've landed somewhere they probably shouldn't be (not that he minds, really, where they should and shouldn't be), his laughing doesn't stop. He's giddy. And even though they've come down now, he still feels like he's floating. ]
I'm fine. [ He's soaked too, and he only notices when he reaches to cup Aguero's cheek in his hand and the fabric clings to his skin. He's fine. More than fine. And now that he has full lungs to laugh, he's more than fine.
There's a short moment where he gazes into Aguero's eyes and decides he likes his blue better than the sky's, when an important realization comes to him. His eyes snap open, and he gasps. ]
But are the chocolates fine? [ Where did they put them, are they soaked too, did they forget them— ]
[ the laughing helps to assuage his concern but really what gets him to actually relax is the question about the chocolates. he smiles then, cheeky. ]
I put them in my lighthouse.
[ it pops into existence, doing a little spin to flick beads of water onto the flowers in the neighboring planter. the chocolates and all the other assorted accessories he's brought along for this date are completely dry inside. ]
[ Oh, right. Tatara laughs, again, but this time relieved. Without asking or waiting he reaches for the box, his hand still damp.
As he grins up at Aguero, he plucks a chocolate from the container and holds one out for him to eat again. It feels like a distant dream, him remarking about how he likes feeding him, but he's right. ]
I dunno. I just remembered them.
[ Hehe. An overreaction, maybe?
When he sees Aguero eat it, he leans in to plant a light kiss on his wet cheek. ]
[ his cheeks flush a bit as he eats the chocolate, now with the knowledge that tatara genuinely likes feeding him. he's never had anything like this and it feels so warm against the coolness of his skin. ]
Mmn, you deserve it. [ everything. ]
When we dance in the ocean remind me to enchant our clothes. [ with an impero they're mostly dry, though he doesn't bother to do much with his hair aside from wringing out most of the moisture. he's more than capable of completely fixing it with magic at this point, but some things he prefers to do the old fashioned way. ]
[ How he would love to dance in the ocean, among the coral and the azure of the water, to breathe in the magic of the world under the sea and share it with no one but his beloved Aguero.
Tatara is all smiles and his insides are all butterflies; it's hard not to feel this way, after everything. Even when they're dry, he still feels like he'll be carrying a part of the cloud with him in his lungs, in his hair.
Their room. Deep down, he knows that this night will be special, in a different sort of way, from the rest. ]
