S'kef laughed briefly at J'ver's adorable gesture. "I love you" S'kef said, pulling his finger back before wrapping one strong arm around J'ver's midsection and pulling him close. Ever since his confession, S'kef had been more openly affectionate towards his greenrider, but no less possessive. In fact, he may have become even more possessive. J'ver was no longer a hireling, but absolutely his, his to own and his to care for. S'kef still jerked J'ver to his side and issued snapping orders, but there was markedly more kindness to reward obedience. It wasn't overwhelming kindness, but it was there. S'kef didn't know how to be properly affectionate anyhow, at least not as most would define it.
But would J'ver have wanted 'proper' affection? Coddling and doting? Or would the greenrider be too off-put by such uncharacteristic crooning? S'kef was his partner, not his babysitter, and J'ver was still a wily little thing! He needed structure in order to thrive. J'ver needed to be manhandled and told what to do! How else would the poor thing ever make it? How else could he make use of his extraordinary talents, without someone to help give him direction?
S'kef wasn't above giving J'ver some credit too, though. J'ver was a master of the subtlety that S'kef lacked. What a perfect little sidekick! Well, a sidekick today. What would tomorrow bring?
S'kef held J'ver close for a few long seconds. A happy pet was a reward in and of itself, a source of all manner of delicious pleasures...but S'kef didn't say that out loud. No need to be sappy. "Damn right," was all he said, giving J'ver a squeeze before releasing him and leaning in for a kiss. He pressed his lips firmly against J'ver's and lingered for a few long moments.
"I trust you, Jai," S'kef said in a moment for rare, vulnerable honesty. He was trying his best to maintain his composure, but the blend of excitement and nervousness in his gut was getting hard to ignore. S'kef usually expressed his extreme emotions in the form of anger. Right now, without anything to be actually angry about and in direct denial of his softer feelings, S'kef wasn't sure what sort of outlet he was looking for. Ambition glowed within him. Rarely did the brownrider boil with such energy, and even more rarely was he so conflicted on how to express it.
It was rare to feel this good.
After a moment, the brownrider knew that he couldn't restrain himself any more. He snatched J'ver's shirt and attempted to pitch the smaller man into the grass. S'kef pounced shamelessly, overwhelmed by the prospects of what lay before them. He straddled the greenrider and smirked down at him, cold and confident, though his heart slammed wildly in his chest.
"You and me, Jai."
