Metaari laughs then--not at Merrick, no, never. The sound is bright, happy, the fullest of life that it's been in a long time. And then he's dumb, an idiot in love, and he actually spins the two of them around with a grin.
A child. An actual child in man form.
He stops the spin and leans in to steal another kiss, and another, before he rests their foreheads together. ]
Feel free to tell me to stop whenever you want. Except for the smiling--I don't think I'll be able to quit that for a while.
[ Merrick huffs after he's spun around, but the little smile hasn't left his face and lingers on his lips during each kiss. It's stupid, he thinks, how happy he feels. It won't last, he knows that, and yet-- he wants to have this, wants to live in this moment so badly, as long as he can.
He wraps his arms tight around Metaari's neck and just--hugs him, just like that, warm and content. He closes his eyes and locks this moment in his memory, this moment he thought he'd never have for as long as he lived. ]

I mean-- I don't mean that-- Not that I'd say no, but--
[ Another pause where he takes a deep breath and gathers himself so he can start over. ]
I want to wake up with you next to me in the morning. And the morning after. And the one after that. And... well, you get the idea.
