[Said with a little humor, and two hands on either side of Dom's face; lips locked, drawn out - sweet, and enduring. He presses their foreheads together, breathing in a shared breath, before kissing Dom again. He's too addictive to quit.]
Would it be weird to... wanna play a game sometime? Like, tell me if this is patronizing because I don't mean it to be. But what if we went outside - the woods or even that maze... and you chase me down? You have to give me a head start. And maybe if I make it to the center first, I win? If you catch me, you win... y'know?
[ The little smile lingers, searching Theo's eyes when he goes from curiosity to some skepticism, to — really liking the idea. ]
… I don't think it's patronizing.
[ Would it be silly to say he feels understood, actually? ]
I, uhm. That sounds good. Really good. [ A pause, hand wrapped around Theo's knuckles, licking his own lips with warmth in his cheeks. ] We should do it in the maze.
[ He goes in for another kiss, thinking this might be the best he's felt in a while. It's so rare that he ever gets to feel like everything's right with the world: he's been able to learn more about himself, has reasons to accept who he is, his boyfriend is being supportive and making him feel seen in the best way possible. It rolls right off his tongue— ]
I love you.
[ Followed by a kiss to his jaw and neck, where he lingers. Surely nothing can take this memory from him. Surely nothing happens in June that'll get in the way of what they've got planned. ]
[Said warmly, his hands all over Dom - playing against the grain of his hair, holding on to the back of his neck as he wrangles him in for a solid kiss. He shares that feeling of - joy - they're on the path to greater and better things. Finding where they belong in life? Surely nothing will come and drive those trains off the track, right? Right?]
You know that's as much fun for me as it is for you. I guess... if I can use magic, it also counts as training? Which... I should do?
[ He really should practice magic, too. He'll have to talk to Julian and Felix about it, see if he can finally convince them to let Theo join in. Especially now that he's free to use all of it. ]
You want me to tell you some stuff right away or make the first one easy for me?
[ The ways Dom's werewolf will help him figure out a fake right away. ]
There's more to your scent than your cologne, but yeah. If the illusion's good, that's the first thing I'd notice that was off. [ And then he puts his finger against Theo's chest. ] But if I really have to pay attention — I'm listening to this. Everyone's got a different heart beat.
[ He doesn't deflate, but his shoulders relax a little. Self-conscious after being so open with something he never wants to talk about with anyone. Theo and Teddie have always been the exceptions.
Dom nods quietly. ]
I just learned to stop paying attention to everyone's heart beat. Most of the time.

[Theo breathes in deeply, exhales slow - he likes that Dom likes the idea. It makes him happier.]
Okay. We'll have to do that. Naked, of course.
no subject
Right. Of course.

What kinda magic are you using?

You're gonna see right through it but... that's what practice is for, right?

It's louder when you're upset. Scared. Then it's like drums blurring together.

[He likes the poetry of that - especially coming from Dom's mouth.]
And you're always listening? Even in the background?

[ Time to sneak in a kiss. ]
And then I'll show you.

🎀?
Give me a twenty second head start.
