Issei hummed softly to himself as he sat on the top step of the stairs to the temple. It really was a beautiful day outside - the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, his boyfriend was coming over for a visit and would be arriving in a few minutes - everything he could have wanted out of the day.

"But I'm sure Archer will surprise me with something I didn't even know I wanted," he remarked. "Even after a few months, it's rare that what he says doesn't make me blush."

Oh, well. Some things never changed. And Issei would have been lying if he said that he didn't enjoy it.

Issei pressed closer into Archer's side and watched the city for a few more moments. "...do you do this often?"

Archer automatically wrapped his arm around Issei's waist and quietly nodded. He answered, "Actually, yeah, I do."

"I can see why." Issei sighed wistfully, a slight blush visible on his cheeks. "When you do amazing things for me like this, I never know how to repay you."

"Just keep being you," Archer told him with a grin as he continued to hold him.

"I don't think being me is as awe-inducing as this is," Issei pointed out with a small smile.

"Well, you do have your moments," Archer teased lightly.

"I'm not quite sure what you mean. Care to elaborate?" Issei answered.

"If I did, then I wouldn't get to tease you by not telling you," Archer pointed out with a grin.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"Fine. Then I just won't tell you about your moments, either," Issei replied, blushing slightly.

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

"I am fully aware of my moments," Archer laughed.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

"I guess the blushing on my part is sort of a giveaway... Still, I at least can choose not to tell you exactly how much I like them."

[steelisblood.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I think I can tell," Archer retorted teasingly.

Issei smiled back at him, determined for once to be the teasing one. "Really? Explain how much, then. I don't think you really grasp the full extent of how much I like you."
