[ Sizhui's eyes widen a fraction, and then he just. Gathers Jin Ling closer to him. His heart tries to go two ways at once, shrinking with the thought of losses and expanding with the words that Jin Ling says. In the end, he also hides his face against Jin Ling's shoulder for a moment. ]
I won't, either. I would not, and I will not.
[ All the ways he can say he doesn't and he won't choose to.
But he only hides a moment, before he raises his face to kiss him once more. Soft, impossibly fond, but-
It’s the sweetest, most wonderful feeling in the world. And it only half has to do with the kiss.
He’s not exactly sure why it feels like something shifted between them - it was hardly a sentiment that felt new to him - but maybe because it was being acknowledged out loud. Maybe because he’d never really thought Sizhui felt the same way - especially given how he’d already here before and there was already another version of him now. Why should he want to be with this Jin Ling in particular?
And yet, he clearly did.
It was enough to make Jin Ling’s heart twist painfully and yet so very happily...
When he had to break for air, he was smiling despite himself - not the smug haughty smiles he so often displayed - but something soft and genuine. He must not have realised he was smiling at all.
He pressed another quiet kiss to the corner of Sizhui’s mouth. ]
Come on. The noodles are going to get too cold to be any good.

/gasps maybe a WRAP?
He nuzzles just for a moment, before nodding, and only then starting to let go. ]
All right. Let's go find the best bow and make it a wonderful birthday for all of them. Yes?
