There's probably a lot to discuss, maybe on both sides. And there's much in Alex prone to be cranky at the moment, but he sets all that aside.

He rolls to his side, holding out an arm for Neil. "Welcome back, baby," he murmurs back.

[goodfight]

There is no hesitation, not after the past few days. Days spent talking about this person but being without him. Neil shrugs off his pack, shoes, and array of weapons, letting everything fall to the floor, before he walks over. He moves down onto the bed and into Alex's reach, his own arms enfolding around the other man in a tight embrace.

[doubletap]

This cuddling Neil Park is a warm and welcome change. He wraps his arms around him in turn, holding him tightly. Nuzzling slightly, he kisses Neil's temple. "Missed you," he mentions quietly.

"Did you have fun hanging out with Arcade?"

[goodfight]

The words soften him entirely, and Neil tights his hold, breathing in Alex's scent. "You, too," he murmurs.

At the question, Neil laughs breathlessly. "Yeah, haha. It was very, uh, educational."

[doubletap]

Alex rolls to his back, dragging Neil with to lay atop him.

"Should I be concerned?" he asks with mock-worry.

[goodfight]

On top of Alex, Neil finally feels the days of constant movement and insomnia, and without wanting, he yawns. "Unless your quest was a joke, not at all," he says after. "I finished that Alternative Methods thing. Ended up dragging Arcade with me."

[doubletap]

...He's caught between amazed and horrified. "You're kidding."

[goodfight]

In his newfound sleepiness, Neil smirks at the surprise. "Not kidding," he declares. "I don't joke around when it comes to quests."

[doubletap]

"That's my crazy kid," he says, pulling Neil down to snuggle. He's tempted; oh so very tempted to start asking questions. But--

"You want to talk about it now, or wanna nap with me first?"

[goodfight]

Between a long discussion and a nap, the choice proves easy. "Nap first," he murmurs, poking Alex's cheek. "You're tired. Get sleep out of the way. Got so much to tell you."

After they clear their minds from the past few days.

[doubletap]

Got so much to tell you.

It's this, less the content and more the words-- Neil wanting to share with him and actively interact --that gets Alex. He reaches to cup Neil's head and draw him down into a drawn-out kiss.

[goodfight]

Warm lips meet his, and Neil murmurs contently. Loves the feel of Alex, the blessing of having this wonderfully weird guy beside him, with a greater appreciation for his presence. Man, does being sleepy affect Neil's sap levels.

"Love you," he speaks into Alex's lips.

[doubletap]

...It's nice to hear it without prompting from Neil. Alex gives a pleased sound, then kisses the corner of Neil's mouth, then his cheek. "Apparently you should hang out with Arcade more often," he murmurs with amusement.

Then responds more appropriately. "Love you, too. More than anything."

Somewhere above their heads, ED-E burbles happily and Alex laughs. "Little perv."

[goodfight]

Everything's quite pleasant, and nothing seems to hurt. Neil buries his face into the other man's chest, sighing at the contact. "Apparently," he returns.

The perv comment, on the other hand, has Neil remembering a most important fact. "Oh, right," he mutters, eyes closing. "ED-E had me listen to a part of his collection of 'sounds.' Apparently, we're together too much."

For the little eyebot to record them constantly.

[doubletap]

Alex tilts his head back to view ED-E. The eyebot floats there for a moment, then plays a clip of Neil whimpering as Alex climaxes loudly.

Alex reaches upward around Neil to grab ED-E--he skitters away with a chittering laugh of beeps. "Delete those! Right now!"

[goodfight]

Neil freezes at the obvious sounds of obvious before busting out laughing at the exchange. "God," he manages in-between breaths. "I still sound like a retard."

[doubletap]

ED-E is zipping back and forth in an unfair game of keep-away as Alex has Neil on his chest, but Alex stops reaching for the metal kid when Neil speaks.

"Are you kidding?" he asks truthfully. "You sound sexy."

[goodfight]

He thinks to retort, to deny such a claim, but Alex feels so nice against him. They are also having a moment. Together.

Thus, Neil changes his words. "It's good, then," he says, one eye opening to watch Alex. "That I sound attractive to you."

[doubletap]

Where he expected a fight, he gets nothing of the sort. Neil half-looks at him and Alex's heart speeds up.

He gapes, then attempts speech. "...You also sound sexy right now."

[goodfight]

Here, Neil fully opens his eyes, dark-brown irises fixing completely on Alex. Sleepiness lessens somewhat as he thinks about Alex. Considers what he's learned about the intricacies of being together.

So he fucking flirts. Yeah, that's right. He hasn't been around Alex in days, and he doesn't know what some of that coming talk will bring. "Is that a come on, Mr. Geer?" Neil asks honestly. "Because I'm open to that if you are."

[doubletap]

His body heats and reacts obviously. "Shit," he murmurs. "You own me entirely, you know that?"

[goodfight]

Despite himself, Neil smiles affectionately, a detail that's becoming more and more frequent as the days pass. "The opposite," he protests without heat. "You've managed to get completely under my skin, old man." Affecting without effort.

[doubletap]

...Yes, he would prefer to be inside Neil-- Er, wait. No. That's not something to say at this point.

He slips his arms back around Neil, one pressing his hips down as Alex presses upward. Still, he only nuzzles, even at the clothed contact. "...All right, let's make a decision and stick to it." He nuzzles more, kissing Neil's temple. "Sex, sleep, or speech?"

[goodfight]

At the contact, Neil shivers minutely. At the question, he grins.

"If we're talking about which order," he says lightly, "sex, sleep, then speech sounds pretty good."

[doubletap]

"Fuck," he breathes, because what is this? Seriously, is he going to have to give Arcade a fruit basket or a prostitute, because seriously. Neil has been progressively and more steadily affectionate, but offering up sex like this--

But the whole hanging out with Arcade thing makes him remember the reason why. His reactions slow. "You sure? We can try something else if you want. I know you said it's hard to live afterward sometimes."
