TREASURE

[cavedwellers]

You are so, so sure there's treasure in the cave. Just a little bit further on than your light reaches. Juuuuust a little further.

No, further.

Go on.

This is completely safe.

Hah... yeah.

Did you find the treasure you were looking for?

[oppositeofpeople]

[what if he takes your hand]

Yeah, I kind of did.

[galaxyhearts]

[His eyes are wide and his head snaps up to meet Eiji's gaze.]

Oh.

[What if he doesn't let go.]

[oppositeofpeople]

[looks like time to stand there awkwardly holding hands and staring into each other's eyes

Eiji's got a really dumb smile on right now]

[galaxyhearts]

[It's such a dumb smile, and he is dumb for letting it get to him. But. Eiji's hand is warm in his. And his core feels warm, even though nothing is touching it...]

Does that mean you found your desire?

[oppositeofpeople]

I... Maybe? That sounds like such a serious thing, and I just.

[giving your hand a little squeeze]

I'm just glad you're here.

[galaxyhearts]

[You came here specifically seeking treasure--him? That seems serious enough, but he isn't going to push it. Not right now.

He squeezes your hand back. That's the only indication you're getting that he's glad you're here too.]

Idiot.

[oppositeofpeople]

[just beaming at you for another minute]

So... should we go looking for your ice pops?
