You're very lucky I have a terrible reputation and no one trusts me.
[And yet, he still sighs as fond and in love with Reyson as ever.] Just remember I tried to decline. I wont be kissing your feet after I've stepped all over them.
[ Reyson kisses the back of Naesala's hand softly, a gesture he hopes passes as gentlemanly to others, opposed to completely and utterly affectionate. ]
Just follow my lead, Naesala. You'll be fine. [ It's not like he doesn't know he has two left feet. For someone who carries himself with so much bravado on a daily basis, he's, well... uncoordinated, to say the least. But Reyson and Leanne still loved dancing with him as a child, laughing as they spun each other around and around without a care.
He's just as happy to lead Naesala out to the dance floor now, but he won't be spinning him so wildly. Hands still clasped tight, he rests his free hand on the middle of his back and starts to move to the music.
After a few moments of helping Naesala find his rhythm, he gives him a little smile. ] That wasn't so bad, now, was it? [ stubborn binch ]
Because I know you. Would I have stuck with you if you weren't good at heart? [ He's got a pretty high tolerance for Naesala's bullshit, but only Naesala's.
Before he can get a quip in, Reyson continues. ] Do you trust me? [ Both in this, and also, well... in this dance they're doing. ]
[ At first, it seems as though Reyson doesn't acknowledge Naesala's statement. He continues to guide them to the rhythm of the music, not saying another word.
But then the music swells, reaching its dramatic conclusion, and Reyson pulls his hand free from his grasp to rest on his back. With a shift of his feet, he's tipping Naesala backward with practiced ease.
Though his arms have the smallest tremble to them, Reyson smiles a special smile, just for him - soft and radiant, as his long, blond hair spills over his shoulders and frames the side of his face. ] You didn't step on my feet once - I'm proud.
[ Reyson laughs, just as fond, and pulls him back to his feet after a few more seconds. ]
We should get off the floor before the music starts again. [ Not that he'd actually mind dancing with Naesala more. He's just been a good sport, despite Reyson's underhanded tactics, and he'll help him keep face lest his two left feet be exposed. ] I believe you wanted to ask me something?
[ He hasn't forgotten: "I can ask properly. Only the best for you, angel." ]
[Naesala shakes his surprise off to process what's being asked of him.
Of course, he hasn't forgotten either. He never goes back on his word when it comes to Reyson.] That is correct. [He lifts Reyson's hand to kiss.] Reyson, will you join me at the Goddess Tower?
[ Reyson kisses Naesala's hand in turn, soft and in love. ] It would be an honor.
[ And with that, without further ado, they make their way to the Tower. As they walk hand in hand, Reyson can't help but think the stars are extra gorgeous tonight - but from the top floor of the Tower, it's even more so.
With his head against Naesala's shoulder, he asks softly. ] Do you know what you want to wish for?
[Reyson looks above and Naesala looks below. Garreg Mach, for as lively as it is down below where all the students are dancing their worries away, appears quiet and serene from up in the Tower. The stretch of monastery is also quite the view.]
A lifetime with you. [Naesala says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world, and he's never been more honest.]
Are you surprised? [ Above all else, he wants his loved ones to be happy: his family, Tibarn... and, of course, Naesala. His beloved Naesala, who's been by his side almost since day one, who he's been in love with just about as long. ]
Then we'll wish for your wish. For a lifetime together. [ Because he, too, will be happy so long as he's with Naesala and naesala's not being a little shit ]
[Naesala's heart swells. He hadn't even thought this possible just a couple days ago. He tugs Reyson in his direction, so they can stand together. Reyson's back to Naesala's chest and Naesala wrapping his arms around his shoulders.]

Well, what do you know. You really bring out the best in me.
