[Agreas saying that they'd be snuggling would get a similar reaction to calling Elijah cute...But. Well, even Elijah can't deny that it's more or less exactly what he's doing right now. And it's not something anyone dragged out of him either. Agreas had been asleep, and he'd waltzed over on his own and did that all on his own. He almost hates how nice that hand feels moving through his hair...but he doesn't even have enough in him to get annoyed.
It's moments like these that really make him feel like he was the one trained by Agreas more than the other way around. But considering the way things are right now...he's content with that.
The Elijah who'd blackmailed Agreas and punished or rewarded him based on his behavior- that feels like a mindset he'd shifted out of almost completely. Not that he's an entirely different person now, but he knows he'd never be able to do anything to intentionally hurt Agreas ever again. Not ever. And while he can absolutely understand his past self...while he still thinks of Agreas as his, and wants to keep him all to himself...Elijah's still grateful for the change. He's grateful for all of this- even a small, peaceful moment like now...even if Agreas does end up bombarding him with cute words.
His head tilts into the other's hand a little bit, and he finds himself wishing again that he could be at least annoyed by it. Mostly because he's fairly certain he knows exactly what's going through the other's head after a comment like that. But he can't, and after a half-hearted groan, his voice comes out in a soft mumble right up against his lover's neck.]
No wonder that damn thing never gets off you.
[Aka...their kitten. The words sound way harsher than his tone, and it's obvious there's not actually anything malicious behind them at all. Honestly, he's mostly just phrasing it like that because there's no way he can just plainly say he's jealous of a cat.
Without waiting for a response, he presses his fingers softly against the other's neck- gently rubbing small, soothing circles against his skin. Even if he'll get made fun of a little more for it, it's fine. If Agreas is the one responsible for dragging out this side of him...then that means everything from that part of him belongs to Agreas too. Even this.]
