LITERALLY.

Kinda the premise.

Like I'm not an easy target, sometimes.

Only that one time you were trying to mime an ostrich.

I-! Look! I was doing my best!

I know. It was... endearing.

[Martin is NOT pouting. he's not.]

W-well. It'd better have been. Otherwise I made an arse of myself for nothing.

I wouldn't have remembered it if it wasn't, Martin.

Glad I'm so endearing at my own expense, I guess.

[Shit.]

That isn't what I meant-

[sigh.]

I know, I know... Sorry.

[He's quiet. Then slowly, reaches for Martin's hand. Just taking his fingers loosely.]

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's just me being stupid. You didn't do anything wrong.

[Martin takes Jon's hand and scooches close, his warm things still held gently in his lap.]

I'm stupid like that.

[He smiles nervously up to him, fiddling with that bracelet in his fingers.]

I am too, Martin.

[a fond smile.]

True.

[Martin lets go of Jon's hand, only to wrap his arm around Jon and pull him closer, taking Jon's hand with his other. he stage whispers in Jon's ear:]

And I love it.

[There's something like a shiver that goes down his spine at that stage whisper. He's still in Martin's arm.]

I-i'm glad.

[Martin goes in for a long, soft kiss.]

Thank you. For these.

[He tugs Martin a little closer, leaning into that kiss gently.]

Of course, Martin.

[Martin puts his arms around Jon and holds him close - the only chilly part of him being his left hand - and softly pulls the both of them back to recline properly and comfortably against the back of the sofa. he leans his head on Jon's shoulder just a bit, eyes closed and smiling gently.]

...I love you, you know.

[He moves with the motion, leaning into Martin. But his breath catches in his throat hearing that.

He lowers his voice breathing out:] I love you too.

[Martin buries his face even more into Jon's shoulder; he can't keep the emotion out of his voice.]

I'm so lucky.

I'm not sure how much you'll be saying that after everything but. I'm glad you think so.

[patiently, but firmly:] I'll be saying it as long as you'll have me, Jon.
