True.

[muffled, but clear enough.]

It includes you, after all.

[ More backrubs for the embarrassed dragon. ]

Mmm... reckon I ain't a bad catch either.

[lifting his head to grab Graey's face with both hands.]

You are very, very good. Okay?

[ Blinking in surprise as he's suddenly grabbed, startled for a hot moment before his gaze softens a bit. He doesn't look like he fully believes the words though- or more like he can't. ]

... Yer too sweet.

[Studies him for a moment.

Nods, softens his grip to stroke his cheeks.]

I'm just saying how I feel. You're very good to me.

[ Leaning his head into the touch, his eyes falling shut as he relaxes. ]

Tryin' mah best ta be. You deserve the best.

[huffs a fond little sound and brushes a kiss to his forehead.]

[ Smiles then, though it falters a bit as he realizes he does need to do something. ]

... Lith knows 'bout you an' I. Told 'im, so I reckon it's only fair I tell ya too.

[blinks.

strokes his cheek some more.]

Was he being an ass? I haven't kept my relationship with you from him.

Told 'im we already had plans fer a sleepover an' that got 'im riled up.

[ He does have to pause then and open his eyes. ]

... Ya know 'bout me an' him then?

He's so possessive...

[fond. like someone talking about a particularly rambunctious puppy.

then, ears going pink-]

Mm. When I was first with him, I mentioned being with you, and he got all growly and said you were in his bed first.

That idiot can't keep his mouth shut...

[ But he's also fond of that idiot and chuckles a bit after, relaxing enough to let his eyes lid partially shut again. He wants to keep watching Vel, those micro expressions are just too cute. ]

... We ain't datin', fer reference. It's more or less like what you an' I got.

[ Graey do you realize how dating-adjacent you have been so far- ]

[Vel is very unsure that Graey and he aren't actually dating, at this point, but... whatever Graey is comfortable with. he's happy, with this.]

We are. He and I, I mean. As of today.

[but he's not any less snuggled close and warm and relaxed.]

Just so you're aware. If he's going to keep being possessive and growly.

[ Cuddly lapsitting is what the homies do. ]

[ He does look surprised for a moment before laughing low, resuming those lazy, soothing rubs and runs of his hands against Vel's back. ]

Well, congratulations on yer tamin' of the beast. Fer the longest time I thought he jus' wanted ta rip yer throat out... reckon I wasn't too far off after seein' how he actually acts 'round ya. Jus' in a different way.

I'm not sure he doesn't, no. We promised we weren't going to stop needling each other, either. But it's... easy, being with him. Even when he says dumb shit like I'm his eternal enemy, then assumes our relationship is purely physical, then saying this can't be a fling, all in a row.

[voice still fond as hell.]

So I wouldn't really say tame.
