...were we supposed to have marked it in some way?

[dothelokimotion]

Technically there are parties for that. Bachelorettes, I believe.

[unkindled_madness]

Bachelorette?

Did you want one?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles, shaking his head. ]

They're typically spent with friends as a last night of "freedom".

It's not necessary here.

[unkindled_madness]

You mean...

It would be a party you would not attend. And vice versa.

[No, that's not necessary.]

[dothelokimotion]

Well, I don't need to celebrate the idea of freedom.

[unkindled_madness]

I certainly don't need to celebrate it without you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

Well, if you wanted to . . . I don't mind. It could be fun.

[unkindled_madness]

Having one together, you mean?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs lightly, bemused. ]

Having one of your own. You're not meant to have it with your betrothed. Hence the "last night of freedom".

[unkindled_madness]

Why would I want to attend a party without you?

[dothelokimotion]

. . . It does seem pointless doesn't it?

[ but the corners of his eyes crinkle. ]

[unkindled_madness]

Quite so. It wouldn't be much fun.

[dothelokimotion]

You don't ever miss it?

A time without me?

[unkindled_madness]

Before I met you?

No.

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh. for that, loki curls his fingers around sephiroth's collar and tugs him into a kiss. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles into it, letting himself be tugged. He winds his arms around Loki's back.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ it's such a sweet thing to hear so it only feels fair to reward sephiroth with an enthusiastic kiss. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[It may be sweet, but it feels so matter-of-fact. What other answer would he give? He doesn't miss that time. There are, maybe, a few details he misses, but he would choose Loki over them in a heartbeat.

He returns the enthusiasm. This is where he wants to be.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki wasn't testing him. it had been a jest, a tease. it had not been a trap for loki's doubts to see if sephiroth had changed his mind. because he knew he hadn't and he trusted him completely. it was such a change of pace that he just.

wanted to feel like every day was the reward. every kiss with sephiroth was a new dream. not just an acknowledgement, but a love letter. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[He didn't take it for a test; a test wouldn't be so simple. But maybe he missed the joke in it. It was an idle curiosity.]

What could I ever prefer to this?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki flushes brightly. ]

Clearly nothing at all.

[unkindled_madness]

[His smile widens, and he kisses Loki's flushed cheek.]

Clearly.

[dothelokimotion]

Then it seems we don't need a bachelorette's.

[unkindled_madness]

No, it seems not. I don't think I care for the concept.
