[ He looks down at Aether and there's a moment in which his heart skips a beat. It's been some time since they've been together, and he's convinced that there will never be a time when that stops happening. Is it how he's smiling, what he says, or both?
It must be both. Aether is undeniably sweet. Vanitas doesn't like sweets, but for this, he is greedy and will always wants more of Aether's affection.
He raises a hand to gently cup Aether's chin, lifting it up as he leans in to give his partner a sweet kiss of his own. ]
[Aether continues to smile at him and is easily pulled into a kiss. No matter how tired he is, it feels like he can relax completely by Vanitas' side. It's nice.
He wraps his arms around the other and even when the sweet kiss ends, Aether just drags Vanitas into another, smiling bright while he's at it. At the same time, he tries to make his partner lie down on the mattress.
It all started from Aether's plan to make Vanitas relax... So this shouldn't be about him. He should be continuing on with his plan and that's exactly what he is about to do now.]
[ He's pleased when Aether pulls him in for another kiss, and he's pleasantly surprised when he feels himself being guided down onto the bed. Aether may be kind and gentle, but he's also the bolder one between the two of them. Vanitas doesn't let people handle him very often in any capacity, but he's learned to like Aether's guidance.
His arms wrap around his partner's waist, holding onto him as he lies back on the bed, pulling him close. Just as Vanitas doesn't get so sweet with just anyone, he knows that Aether shows him so much that he wouldn't show to others, too. There's something very reassuring about that, and it gets him to grin ever so slightly into the kiss. ]
[He's always happy when he's given the chance to smother his lover with all the affection that is in his heart. Every moment is so special and perfect, especially when they can lie like this, kiss following kiss. Aether is well aware that Vanitas is hardly this sweet with anyone else.
Once they break from the kiss, the traveler smiles at his companion, before shifting and pulling away ever so slightly.]
I was thinking... [He grins.] You've been working so hard, your muscles probably could use some relaxing, too, right? I thought I could try giving you a massage.
[Look at this wonderful smile. It makes Aether wish he could see it every day for the rest of his days.]
For you? Always.
[He leans in, pressing a kiss to Vanitas' cheek.]
And sure. [There's a small glint in Aether's eyes. Maybe there is more to come and the traveler will do whatever it takes to make his partner forget about everything else. All the nice things just for him.] I will always allow it.
[ He wraps his arms around Aether - give him a moment - and plants his forehead on his shoulder. Vanitas keeps him there for a moment, takes in a silent breath. ]
Good. [ He stays there for a moment, and then he lifts his head and tilts it so he can give Aether a cheeky kiss on his neck. Just one. Then, he leans back and gives Aether a slightly mischievous grin. ] You'd better.
You should make sure that I stop doubting you, then, hm?
[ Show him what you got, Aether. He's quite looking forward to being pampered again. Now he's wondering how he should lie down, if he needs to remove any clothing (heh)... ]
[ First order of business is to kiss that traveler, so he leans in and does exactly that. The kiss isn't quite soft; it's a little more charged than that, because he simply can't resist how adorable Aether is, and when he pulls back, he has a cheeky grin on his face. What a thief...
Then, he'll finally get to taking off his shirt and lying on his stomach, just as instructed. ]
[Aether is easily pulled into the kiss, but he's surprised with how firm and needy it is. It leaves him breathless and he looks at Vanitas with wide eyes, cheeks brightened with red.
How outrageous! Hopefully, his lover doesn't think he can get away with this!
As Vanitas lays down, Aether considers his options for a moment, before letting a small sigh and moving close once more. He brushes his companion's hair away, revealing his back fully, then settles his warm hands on Vanitas' shoulders. It starts slow, careful, then firmer. It's a little like kneading a dough, Aether thinks to himself. He's steadily working on his partner's muscles...
Then he leans down, lips on Vanitas' nape, kissing his skin as his hands run up and down the other's back.]
[ So. All of that snark and cockiness from earlier is immediately dismantled once Aether starts kissing his skin. That, combined with how soothing the massage itself is, is enough to get Vanitas to let out a sigh and go pretty quiet. All that bravado tends to melt once Aether gets the best of him, and all he can do is let out quiet breaths and close his eyes.
He doesn't have to say more. Aether already knows he's got the upper hand. ]
[Aether can't help but tease a little, even though he's enjoying the other's reactions. There was a time when the traveler struggled to figure out what Vanitas thinks, but right now? He's almost like an open book. And it's absolutely not a bad thing. Aether loves making him feel good. He knows he's doing well in that regard right now.
His mouth shifts to kiss lower into Vanitas' back, settling right between his shoulder blades. His hands ends up on his sides, thumbs tracing circles into the skin.]
[ He's a little grumbly, but he's not complaining, because he's somewhere between wanting to fall asleep with how relaxed he is, and wanting to stay awake so he doesn't miss how Aether makes him feel. Vanitas has grown to be an open book around his partner, around someone who actually manages to make him feel secure - someone who doesn't let him run away and welcomes him with open arms instead.
He buries his face into his pillow, body trembling just the smallest bit as Aether continues his exploration downwards. ]
[He laughs a little bit against Vanitas' skin, before continuing on. He kisses right along the spine as his hands travel lower as well. Maybe a little too low at some point and he smiles to himself, then lets his hands go all the way back up and kisses follow.
Eventually, he settles against Vanitas' shoulder and lets his lips brush tender kisses there, forming a path towards the other's neck. His fingers sneak between his lover and the mattress, inching towards Vanitas' chest. Aether's torso shifts to lay fully on his partner, enjoying the warmth of the body beneath. His heart is hammering against his ribs.
This is probably not even a massage anymore, but his intention is clear - he just wants Vanitas to have a good time, to not worry about anything and to feel loved.]
[ The combination of how low Aether's hands are wandering, the kisses from Vanitas' shoulder to his neck, and then the way their hearts are beating in their chests- it's all too much for him to bear. He doesn't even need the massage anymore. He just wants- ]
Hey. [ He breathes it out, voice shaky. ] Could you get off for a second?
[ And if Aether does, Vanitas will quickly roll onto his side and pull Aether close before joining their lips in another kiss. It's far less teasing and much more needy, charged and passionate. His heart is still hammering in his chest as he kisses his lover, and he moves a hand up to tangle his fingers in Aether's hair. ]

You're pretty generous, aren't you? [ He says like he doesn't already know this about his partner. ] Well, you know I won't say no...but- mm.
