[ Uh oh. But there's a knock at the door sometime later. Who could that be? ]

[Griever has to open the door. Squall is being moody in his room. Lucky also comes to the door to greet Byleth, tail wagging and barking happily. Griever doesn't saw anything and just points to the back room.]

[ He gives Griever a little bat on the head, as well as Lucky, before proceeding on to find Squall. He knocks quietly at first, and then calls out. ]

Squall? It's me. May I come in?

[Griever watches Byleth walk off and turns back into a necklace to lay on the couch later as Lucky sticks by Byleth, tail wagging and hoping to be picked up by the man.]

It's not locked.

[Squall sighs and gets up to go to the door and let Byleth in. He hasn't changed at all since the video, still just in underwear and that apron. Even his face is still red as he avoids eye contact with Byleth.]

...you didn't have to come over...I'm...fine.

I wanted to. [ He says as he moves to hug him. He always smells so good. ]

I came to show my...appreciation for your song. [ And that is made clear by the thigh pressing between his legs. ] I found it quite charming. But also... quite cute. So first-

[ So first, Squall is going to get tickled. Lightly at first, just up and down his ribs, testing to see where he's sensitive. ]

[The hug doesn't bother him at all and he actually responds back with a hug of his own. He huffs much like a big cat before resting his head on Byleth's shoulder, still shy but at least responsive to touch.]

B-Byleth? [The thigh pressing against him has him raising a brow.] Cute? But...it's not-

[and here comes the tickles and he's pretty ticklish and immediately starts to laugh and try to jump out of Byleth's arms at the same time.] N-No! Ah-ahaha! S-stop! I'm ticklish!

Oh are you? Hmm... I don't know if I can stop until you admit you're cute.

[ No use, Squall. He's now testing out various spots to see what makes him laugh the hardest. ]

Let's see- is it here? Or here?

[ Truly, the Ashen Demon is a merciless creature. ]

N-no! By-Byleth! Ahahahaha!

[Squall could maybe actually stop him but he hasnt laughed like this in awhile and it almost feels good the tickles. Instead he lightly swats at Byleth in a poor attempt to push him away.]

P-please!

Oh? Please what? Tickle you more? Well of course I would be happy to!

[ Squall is so cute... he can't help himself. Eventually though, after he's satisfied with hearing him laugh so sweetly, he lets up and kisses him. ]

Ahh, I adore you.

P-Please st-st-stop!

[Squall can't seem to catch his breath even after Byleth has stopped tickling him and it's not until he's kissed that he seems to calm down enough and happily kisses him back. His previous worries gone.]

You...adore me?

[ He settles to hug Squall tightly, appreciating his warmth and his whole aura. ]

Of course I do. You're wonderful. You have a cute laugh, too. You know, I was sort of wondering if maybe you might like to be one of my partners?

[Oh he pauses at that. He hadn't expected something like that from Byleth. Of course he's not against it or anything and wasn't trying to just be a one time thing, that's not Squall's style but he still hadn't thought Byleth would ask.]

You...want me to be a partner? Are you sure?

Absolutely sure.

[ He says this with utter confidence, reaching up and fixing some of Squall's tousled hair and tucking it gingerly behind his ear. ]

Don't feel pressured to choose now or even say yes if you don't want, but I really like you, your company, I think you're attractive and calming to be around. If you can put up with occasionally getting the wits tickled out of you, that is. [ He chuckles softly, but he's not entirely kidding. ]

[He doesn't even have to ask the reasons why, Byleth already answers back before he can and he's grateful for it. He smiles but moves in to rest his head against the nape of Byleth's neck, still a little nervous about it all.]

I...would like that...if you're really okay with it all. I like being around you too Byleth. You're also calming to be around and I don't really mind the tickles that much honestly.

I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't okay with it. [ He fondly pinches Squall's cheek with a teasing levity to his voice. Inflection that would not have been there even a year or so ago. ]

I know it doesn't change much about what we do together, but I desire it all the same. There is something good in that certainty.

I mean...it does make sense for the relationship to go there given our...previous engagements...

[He pouts a little at the cheek pinch but he doesn't hate it. He does keep his arms wrapped around Byleth though. It feels good to have him in his arms.]

Certainty is good. So...should we do anything to make it official? I'm not so great with these things. I'm usually the one doing the asking...

Hmmm... I think a nice date would be in order. Something we both would enjoy, it doesn't have to be fancy or anything. What do you think?

Yeah that works, what would you like to do for a date? I'm really not picky at all.

Mmmm. I want to know more about you. So do you... have a favorite hobby?

Well I mean...I like baking and the pottery studio and training....I don't really know what else I like. What do you like Byleth?

Well... I do like training too- maybe we could have a sparring day?

Oh, that's actually a pretty good idea. That won't get you bored though? I'm sure you have plenty to spar with.

Hardly. Sure I have plenty to spar with, but you are my lover, and I want to spar with you.

I guess I could take out Revolver and practice some new ideas I've had with her... Yeah we can do that. I don't want to hurt you though so nothing too bad okay?

Hurt me? Hardly a concern, but we can go easy if you are worried about it all the same.
