Greetings. You have reached the message box of Byleth Eisner, please leave a message I will contact you shortly.
HOW DARE YOU!
You took first place on the leaderboard. So now Corrin is second instead of me and I'm third.
Third.
Third.
While Dimitri had been prepared for any answer, he had (despite himself) hoped for the best. It seems that for once that finally worked out for him. Of course, it was Byleth. Why wouldn't it work if it was him? It seems silly to have doubted in the first place when he sees the glassy sheen to his beloved's eyes as he says 'yes.' He loves him. He has a ring for him, too, and-
Okay, woah, that sure is Byleth just throwing himself into Dimitri's arms. It's a wonder he does manage to catch the man even if he does end up tumbling back onto his butt in the process. The man gives a round of laughter that's interrupted only by Byleth's flurry of sudden kisses. Dimitri returns as many as he can even if it leaves him a bit breathless as he still tries to balance himself correctly to hold them both up on this slanted bit of grass.

[ At first, all Byleth responds with is a low, moaning growl at the invitation and praise. Stoic though he may be, a little praise never hurt anyone. Sizhui is rewarded immediately too, when Byleth lifts him effortlessly and leans back to hold him in his lap. He doesn't bother to wait, simply thrusting into him and enjoying the new angle. His arms wrapped around waist and back. There's almost a hint of possessiveness to it. Subtle but there. ]
Demanding, hmm?
[ Hardly, but he's going to lightly tease anyways because that seems to work well with this one. ]

Hmm, I don't know. I'm not the one who starts giggling before someone even touches me.
[ He returns the hug, but yeah, he's not letting you off easy, Corrin. ]
Even if I said- oh Corrin... I'm going to tickle you, you start laughing.

So not true. ( he sticks his tongue out. blep. )
You're the tickliest person I've ever met in the whole entire world. ( and the entire time Corrin teases Byleth like this, he is sloooooooooooowly sliding his dragon tail up beside where the other man is currently laying on his bed. so sneakily. so quietly. until ... )
Heh-! ( his tail suddenly slides up Byleth's leg, thighs and onto his tummy before he wriggles his feathered tips for a surprise tummy tickle!! ) Muahahaa-!

Oh. Uh. I... wasn't aware that was a thing anyone was trying for.
Do you want me to uh. Mmm. I could-hm.
I'm not sure what I can do for you.
[ Guess you better GET GOOD ROSIE. ]

Byleth is all too happy to push him over into the grass and have his way with kissing every inch of his face, relishing in the sound of his laughter and the shared joy they feel. At last, rolling to lay next to him and catch his own breath. He slings an arm over Dimitri's chest and cuddles up closer. He likes to feel him breathing, and detect the gentle thrum of his heartbeat.
"I love you so much. I know things haven't been easy for you, but I'm really proud of you. This is the happiest I've ever been in my entire life, and you did it. You make me happy."
A dream come true, what else could he ever ask for? Dimitri offers him a kind of stability that he can't even begin to describe. Not something he's felt in his life, and though the man is still haunted, still prone to his vices and fears, he hopes that being able to bring happiness is something that Dimitri will keep in his mind.

Tickliest isn't even a word, th-
[ Too bad for Byleth, he didn't see that sneaky tail until it's too late. He curls up like a cooked shrimp, laughing in that same pitched-up nearly desperate tone. ]
Kkkkkffffffff! Cheating! Cheating-aaaaaa! Hehe please!

( it is so a word. it describes exactly what Byleth is doing right now! )
Please what? ( such a meanie dragon!! but he just keeps wiggling his tail feathers on Byleth's chest and tummy, soaking up his reactions, ehehehe. each squawk and chortle from the other man is the highest form of currency to him, he honestly can't get enough. no mercy here just yet! )

[doubly rewarded, more like, as sizhui's mouth curves with delight at the sound of byleth's throaty noise; something he'll keep in mind for later after they've gotten comfortable in his new position he'd suggested. once byleth begins shifting, sizhui moves where necessary too, adjusting until he's straddling byleth's lap, resting with his knees on either side of him. both arms have circled around his partner's shoulders now, one hand finding byleth's hair and the opposite softly dragging fingernails across his shoulderblade while he bucks downward.
the possessiveness doesn't go unnoticed and it makes him hold on tighter, his gaze sheepishly lowering at the remark, even if he doesn't miss a beat when answering,] Maybe a little, [comes in quiet acknowledgment, which isn't a lie, per se, because he knows he could be far more demanding if given the chance.]

Well, it is! ... Was, I guess, since I'll never beat you or Corrin.
[ A self-defeated sort of sigh. ]
Of course, both of you don't care about being in the lead. That only makes it worse, honestly, and I- Mm.
[ She hates how much it bothers her still, especially after talking to Corrin about it all, but it's not a mentality that will be erased overnight. To her, how fuckable she is was the only thing good about her for a long time. Without that, then... What's there to even really like? ]

Each kiss sees him more ticklish than the last, almost, and since when has he laughed like this? Since when has been so full of joy like this? The fact that it's hard to remember, even for his time here and being so close to Byleth, probably speaks volumes to how important this moment is for the both of them. How could it not be? Once Byleth is done attacking his face with kisses, he's quick to return an arm around his shoulders and hold him close as he can as he looks at the man with a brightness in his eye.
"That's all I've ever wanted," he says, sincere as ever, as he gazes at Byleth like he's everything. He is. While Dimitri has no shortage of love in his heart for others here, it isn't a stretch to say that Byleth has been a guiding star for him through the darkest of times and now towards a much brighter future. "And I suppose it goes without saying, though I will anyway, that you make me a happier man than I ever could have imagined."

The tigress ends up leaning against Byleth while her master prattles on about silly things like poetry and papers. Though she does huff when Byleth encourages more of that.
Genesis himself seems to brighten though.
“It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a fresh pair of eyes on anything I’ve written. I’d happily accept that offer if you find the subject matter to your taste. My passion is for a very old, anonymous poem that tells the tale of three friends that go to war seeking a heavenly boon, and falling to different fates on their journey. It was a popular story, often made into plays and musicals each season. Though the final act had been missing since recorded history, and without an author to trace, so it became the subject of academic scrutiny.” He pauses, and then fishes into his inner coat pockets to pull out a white leather-bound book. Gold embossing spells out ‘Loveless’ on the cover.
“I keep this copy with me wherever I go. It is... an obsession, I’m sure some would say. But passions should not be stifled, in my opinion.”

I didn't realize that this was an important thing. To be honest I find it kind of demeaning, but if you truly care, I support you. I... can't really help without furthering myself though, but if that doesn't matter to you, you know I'm always open and here for you.
P-Plehehease! Help! Hehehe! Corrin! I yield! Have mercy! I beg you!
[ He is fully disarmed now, those tail feathers are deadly weapons to him! Corrin absolutely gets what he wants if he wants a red-faced, helplessly giggling professor. He is clearly living his absolute best life right now though. Having never gotten to actually play like this, early in life, he takes utter delight in being able to enjoy it now. ]

[ This is definitely a fun position. It allows Byleth more mobility too, and it's easy for him to fall into pace with Sizhui. The tight drag of the other man around him draws out low, pleasured sounds from Byleth as he allows it to sweep him up. Allowing himself to ride on that wave of pleasure, the odd way he can seem to string one climax to the next without tiring or slowing.
They're only marked by the sound of his voice hitching and the way he seems to speed up when he gets close. Hands keeping his partner close, holding him by the waist firmly.
He wasn't kidding about marathon. He's not even shown any hint of wanting to stop. ]

It feels like time has stopped for now. Everything else has faded around them and it's just them, just now.
"Dimitri." He can't even find the words besides his name. Maybe that's all he needs now. His Dimitri. His beautiful sunshine, brave and bright. He nuzzles into his chest and neck, as if trying to drown himself in his whole being.
"Forget the fishing. I want you." What else could be on his mind? How is he supposed to think properly until they've made love now?

It's enjoyable to listen to someone speak on a true passion. Genesis is absolutely dripping with enthusiasm for this subject, and Byleth soaks it in readily while he pats Minerva.
"I agree. We often learn and gain important things when passions are pursued by those who truly love what they do. As far as the world is concerned, loving a piece or writing is a benign thing compared to many do. So by all means- go on. I would be interested in reading it sometime, if you have a copy."

It's... I want to say it's not but, well, obviously that isn't true. It's just. It's difficult is all.
[ And usually, that's where the conversation would end. That's where Rose would make a joke about her being difficult or something and deflect like she'd learned to. Keep her walls high and expectations low and everything would turn out fine.
But she knows Byleth deserves more than that from her so she wants to try. For him. For them. ]
For a long time, with Charlie, all that mattered was how good I was at my job. How good I was at fucking people into telling me things. How good I was at fucking him to keep him happy. And I guess I just... I ended up putting a lot of stock into, I don't know, being good at fucking people in general. So, when I feel like I'm not it's upsetting. Confusing.
I know there's more to me than that now. You and Seteth and Corrin and others... You've all helped me see that but, y'know, shit like this doesn't just disappear. If only it did.

[at some point, sizhui's forehead ends up propped against byleth's shoulder, his eyes squeezed shut and both hands desperately clutching him by the shoulderblades. although he's trying his best to keep marginally quiet, there are still soft, sometimes stilted sounds escaping around his bottom lip, through his teeth or — the moments he feels brave enough – around any skin belonging to byleth that he can bite down on.
a particularly higher-pitched moan and the way sizhui's nails catch byleth's shoulders are what signal his own release, followed shortly thereafter by some harsh panting, but his hips never stop attempting to shift rhythmically against the other man's thrusting.
it's sizhui who will ‘break’ first, and despite this, he only does so to murmur,] Could we stop for a moment? I need to—aah—uhm. [a long, careful inhale then,] Need to regather myself...

Rosie...
I see. That makes a little bit more sense. Thank you for the context, though-
Maybe you shouldn't be looking at the leaderboard at all. I mean. Continuing to hold yourself to outside standards isn't the way you're going to distance yourself from that. Though I understand it takes time. Just... I mean it's just quantity anyways, it doesn't measure performance anyways.
Still. You're so much more than that. You're better than what he or anyone in this place has to say about anything.

[ It prompts a very tiny smug look from the erstwhile Professor, who does afford him a break at last. Slowing to a stop and pressing a kiss to his chest. ]
Ahh, does that mean I win our little wager then?
[ As if there is anything at stake here, bit he does love to tease. He smooths his palms mercifully over the man, sighing contentedly. ]
Want to stop? I can make some tea.

If he has a copy? Try a few a dozen. Of course, Genesis is very quick to offer up a spare that he plucks from the shelf. It's a small, leather-bound book that is simply marked with the title 'LOVELESS' in gilt.
"We're in agreement. Progress, passions, the very love of great things and their joys is a powerful force." He offers out the book for Byleth to take.
"Keep it. It's a good introduction to some working theories on the original context of the story, along with the source material. I had a large hand in cleaning up this edition's annotations for a study group back home."
