It is hard not to. [ He agrees to this with an unrepentant grin, smoothing his fingers through Ja'far's soft hair. ] And I'm glad for it. I think he will be good for you. And you, for him.

And for us? I assume if you love him, too, this is all quite alright, then.

( He's a little huffy about it, since Sinbad hasn't given him a straight answer, but honestly, he's very happy. Sinbad loves him, still loves him, and he has newfound feelings for Aspen that are shared. It's overwhelming, but still good. Still so very good. )

[ Sinbad chuckles and taps a finger lightly against the tip of Ja'far's nose. ]

I suspected you might be falling for him, honestly. And I'm glad for it. I think it will be good for both of us, yes. We have... we have a lot of history, Ja'far. And I think Aspen has been able to help us both understand our own feelings a little better, not to mention deepened those we have for him. It's only fitting, isn't it, that he's a part of this?

( Ja'far mulls it over for a moment, thoughtful. They really did have so much history, it was hard to see where things had even begun at this point. But, Aspen had helped, hadn't he? He'd let Ja'far think more clearly about his feelings, especially here. Aspen had been a catalyst for a lot of this.

Finally, he smiles a little, nodding. ) Yes.

And really? Was I that obvious?

[ Sinbad grins and leans down to kiss him again. ]

Perhaps I'm just really good at reading you after all this time?

( Ja'far huffs into the kiss, laughing a little. )

You certainly didn't read how in love I am with you.

Maybe because that's because you didn't know it yourself yet.

( He snorts in laughter, a soft but fond thing. )

I've always loved you.

[ That... actually makes him pause for a moment, surprise flickering in his gaze.

But he doesn't know what to say to that - has too many things to say to that. So instead, for the moment, he just leans down and kisses him again, deeper this time. Pouring everything he feels into the kiss instead of trying to find the words to express it, knowing they will still fall short. ]

( He's surprised in turn, with how deep the kiss goes, how much he can feel the feelings behind it.

Sinbad loves him, too. Very much. More than he hoped for.

It makes him suck in a breath through his nose, leaning into the kiss, returning those feelings as well. )

[ The kiss draws out for several long moments until Sinbad finally pulls back for air, letting his forehead rest against Ja'far's as he meets his gaze. One hand slides to cup against his cheek, a corner of his lips tugging upwards. ]

I don't deserve you.

( Ja'far's expression softens, his eyes crinkling as he smiles, then huffs. )

You don't, but I am yours. Forever.

As I am yours. [ Another kiss, before he gives a low, fond chuckle. ] Because we both know the kind of trouble I'd get in without you around.

Yes, we most certainly do. ( He gives Sinbad a pointed look, but doesn't grab his collar or the like, his look softening soon enough. )

Thank you. I feel much better about all of this, now. I am glad our love can include more.

As am I. So. Will this make you worry less now? [ Sin smiles, cupping his hand against Ja'far's cheek. ]

I don't think I'll ever stop worrying when it comes to you.

But, yes, this does ease my mind some.

You worry too much. [ It's said fondly as he leans in to kiss him again. ] So. Are you going to tell Aspen about this talk? Or should we call him over and do it together?

( Gosh, so many kisses! Melting Ja'far's defenses, and he knows it. ) We should probably talk to him together about it. It's about the three of us now, after all.

We should. Is that what you'd like to do? [ Sinbad gives him an easy smile, content with that result. Although he's not sure how Aspen will react to it. ]
