You do have a point. I feel like you already know I don't hand my regard out lightly.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Where's the value in respect if everybody earns it?

[Moves to card his hand casually through Cardigan's hair]

[deicider]

[They're pleased with the gesture, lightly tipping their head into it.]

You know, I explained what a bash was to you, but I left out the more important parts— Your bash' is where you belong, where the people you spend the rest of your life with care for you and push you to thrive at whatever you want to do. When I remember it, it's the best of all possible feelings, and you make it real for me again.

[. . .

Cardigan. Cardigan, he wanted five points.

Not a confession]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks away. A little awkwardly. Though the hand doesn't leave their hair]

There's also no point in respecting someone who doesn't challenge you to be the best version of yourself.

[deicider]

No. That's what respect is for.

[And now Cardigan lightly directs him back with two fingers along the line of his jaw, and kisses him, confident and unreserved. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wow. W o w.

Cardigan, you can't just come into his house and track your feelings all over the place. What is he supposed to do with this information?

...

Okay, actually, because it's Cardigan, they can.

Once Cardigan pulls Intensity back to the present, he returns the kiss with equal confidence. One arm loops around their back to pull them in closer because hell if he'll halfass anything in his life.]

[deicider]

[the whole point is you keep being you, Chief.

It is a lingering, thorough kiss, and Cardigan staya in his arms when they pull back.]

Thanks,Chief.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Places a second chaste kiss on their cheek]

To your victory, Commander.
