[ Uriel lets out a small breath and settles more comfortably against Vero, almost... nuzzling his shoulder as he pets their hair. (It's cute.) ]
Mm. I see. [ As much as they’ve grown emotionally in their time with Vero, they still find themself lacking in moments like these, to put their feelings into words. So they go quiet again for a few seconds before continuing their thought. ]
[Those little actions and confessions still kill Vero. He know's how much Uriel's grown in that aspect. He obviously was there when they still didn't give a shit about anything or anyone including themselves so it still strikes Vero right in the heart when Uriel is warm with him like this. It's so cute. Vero loves them so much.]
Yeah. How about forever? That sounds nice. [Because he 100% feels the same. But he can't help but laugh at the next thought that crosses his mind.]
Ha ha, we should get married. [It really is just a joke. If he's honest, it's not the first time Vero's thought of it. But he doesn't think it'll ever happen when they're practically married already and this might be the limit to Uriel's emotional capabilities. It's merely something nice to daydream about.]
[ Uriel blinks at Vero, simply staring at him for a moment, before giving the most nonchalant answer to a statement that maybe he didn't mean anything saying. ]
... Okay.
[ Make an emotionally heavy statement, get an easy answer...???? ]
[ Uriel tilts their head in confusion, as if to say "um you're the one who brought it up why are you so surprised???" ]
Yeah? If you mean it. [ did he... actually mean it.........???? did they just jump to conclusions? oh god. Uriel isn't too surprised that Vero's the type to have thought about marriage before, and while it's never been something on their own radar, if it's with him... ..................
Their heart starts pounding, in a way they can't explain. ] ... Did you?
[ For a moment, Uriel looks... uncomfortable. But not because of anything Vero's said, or the obvious tears in his eyes - rather, it's for what they're about to say. ]
I died to stop Grima, for you. And you're the only reason I'm here now.
[ A pause, to gather their thoughts. ] I. Never stopped thinking of you. When I was gone. So... ...... [ Their eyebrows furrow - they're at their limit for Using Words To Express Emotions. So they opt to take one of his hands in their own and give it a tight squeeze, to try and convey what they want to say.
[All it takes are a couple blinks and the tears start falling. They're quiet, at least, but fall faster and faster as what Uriel's saying sinks in. It's not like Vero didn't know - to some extent. about uriel sacrificing themself for him - but to actually hear them say it. And --
I never stopped thinking of you.
It's a lot. It's so much for Vero. He squeezes Uriel's hand back and just cries.]
[ Uriel's said all that they want to say - exposed their heart to him, showed as best they could that their love is mutual - so there's only one thing they can think to do in a moment like this.
Kiss him. They cup his wet cheek with their free hand and presses their lips together in the most loving way they can muster.
Their own face starts to feel wet - but whether it's just Vero's tears falling on their skin or their own tears is unclear. ]

I want to stay like this for longer.

"Okay"?
"Okay"???????????????
And his heart nearly seizes up in his chest, body thrumming with sudden energy Vero wonders if Uriel can feel from their position on him.]
Wait what -- Uriel, I --- [His tongue feels too thick in his mouth now too.] Okay?? As in, okay, let's get married?

Gods, y-you know I love you. I love you, Uriel. But I didn't think -- [Oh gods here it comes. His eyes are becoming a little wet now, too.] -- Really?
