[Guren laughs as he's kicked, stepping back and lifting his hands in mock surrender. He's all cute about continuing to step back like this.]
What, you want some privacy? [They can't even take dumps inside probably idfk but still Guren is like this] I'll go clean up the bed, so I'll meet you back there.
[ it’s been enough months that there’s probably some system in place even if it involves outhouses but i don’t want to think about the plumbing situation.
what dextera does do is retrieve his clothes from the bedroom so that he doesn’t have to accidentally expose himself to anyone, even out here in the relatively quiet district of flavo.
once THAT is done, he peeks back into the bedroom, still only half-clothed but most certainly feeling better and cleaner. ]
[ By now, Guren is wearing his pants, and the dirty sheets are bundled off to the side of the room for Guren to take and wash later. The oil is tucked away in his pocket, and he’s smiling over newly placed old looking sheets when Dextera enters again. He turns, moving to sit back on the bed and extend his hands for Dex to come take them. ]
[ they do so much with their hands. they touch, they hold, and dextera uses his own to speak, too. seeing guren with his hands so simply extended in invitation feels more intimate just because it’s guren, and dextera gently takes them and squeezes them in a greeting that’s almost shy. ]
[ It is intimate. It’s always intimate, and Guren feels like he can’t hold all of this feeling in. What can he do with this? It’s so hard to hold all this love and be too embarrassed to share it regularly. His smile only brightens, even as he looks down a little, and he tugs Dextera a little closer, spreading his knees so he can stand between them against the bed. ]
What do you want to do? Sit here, go somewhere else? It’s been a while since we’ve taken a whole day to ourselves.
[ it has been a while, hasn’t it? even that evening spent together after the siren rescue wasn’t exactly relaxing. it was more like a necessity of exhaustion, but this is well and truly the beginning of a lazy day.
he moves guren’s hands until he’s practically forcing guren to touch his face, which luckily also frees up his own hands to respond. ]
Can we… [ ah, it’s such a simple request, but he’s embarrassed. ] …go for a walk?
[ dextera doesn’t have any place in particular in mind. all he wants is to enjoy the scenery and find the flowers that have been restored—it would be nice, wouldn’t it? he wants to see the world with guren, after such an emotional, intimate afternoon. they’ve come a long way from dextera crying over grass. ]
…
[ he kisses back, smiling against guren’s mouth, then even after they part. ]
[He's firm on that, at least, his fingers moving affectionately across skin before he leans back a little more. He'll wait for Dextera to move out of the way before standing and grabbing his shirt and vest.]
This is just how it's supposed to be. It's not anything more than I should be doing. [He doesn't want Dextera to think it is, when his self-esteem already seems so low.]
[ dextera wasn’t completely dressed either, anyway, and at least the familiarity of putting on clothes makes him forget that his whole ass is sore. when he sits down again, he’ll probably notice it, but like this, he’s focused on other things. more important things, like the way guren so gently encourages him. ]
…
[ for once, maybe because guren is being so sweet with him, dextera just nods—a rare moment of sincere acceptance. ]
[Good! Guren makes sure his vest is on properly, and then once Dextera is dressed, too, he moves closer and slips his hand into Dextera's, gently lacing their fingers together. Yeah, he'll walk like this.]
[ ah… he’s too happy. after all of that, he gets to hold guren’s hand and walk with him, and such a small thing shouldn’t make him so happy, but it does. it does. ]
…
[ he nods, and lifts guren’s hand to his mouth in a little kiss. ]
[Cute, the kiss is cute, and Guren is smiling for it. But, he leaves their mess behind, since he intends to deal with that later on his own, and heads towards the door with his hand still in Dextera's.
Flavo is a nice district overall, so he can walk with him here, at first, and they can decide where to go afterwards. There's plenty of gardens and flowers here, though.]

[His hands have been moved here, anyway, so he smooths his thumbs over Dextera's cheeks, cupping his face.]
Wherever you want. Let me finish getting dressed.
