Ashras has been continually overwhelmed with joy for quite a while now, but he is extra overwhelmed with joy at that.

Time for happy afterglowy snuggles?

[msglam]

Yes, those. Those are great and fantastic and Ashras is great and fantastic and there'll be snuggles.

[first_and_final]

There will be such snuggles.

[msglam]

Mmmhmmm! And head scritches.

And a pause.

"Mmm."

[first_and_final]

"Mm?"

[msglam]

"Yes, that." Pause. "I need to prod my brain about something a little bit but I have a tentative conclusion and I'm not sure right now's the best time to talk about it."

[first_and_final]

"...I am slightly bewildered but okay?" says Ashras.

[msglam]

"Well, the thing is I think I may be in love with you."

[first_and_final]

"Oh."

He blinks.

"...I think I may be in love with you too," he says after a moment.

[msglam]

She blinks, too. "Oh. Well, that works out nicely, then, doesn't it?"

[first_and_final]

"Yes!"

[msglam]

"Good!" She hugs him.

[first_and_final]

Hugs!

[msglam]

"...do I get to call you boyfriend? I want to call you boyfriend."

[first_and_final]

"You can absolutely call me boyfriend."

[msglam]

"Awesome!" More hugs! So many hugs. And kisses, too.

[first_and_final]

Hugs. Kisses. Snuggles. Nuzzles. All of the affection.

[msglam]

So much affection!

[first_and_final]

"We're going to save the world together."

[msglam]

"Yep!" Stomach growl. "But for now, how about lunch?"

[first_and_final]

"Lunch. Yeah, good plan."

[msglam]

"Given that the dread sphere is still out, I could cook you something or we could order."

[first_and_final]

"The dread sphere," he giggles. "Yeah, either one of those, I have no strong preference." But he must kiss her. Because of the dread sphere.

[msglam]

So she kisses him back, because of the dread sphere. Or something. She's not clear on why the dread sphere is a good reason to be kissed but hey, she's not complaining.

[first_and_final]

Sadde is adorable and her phrasing is adorable! That is why the dread sphere leads to kisses.
