[He'll be disappointed later he didn't tire Leo out, but right now he just wants a kiss. Maybe several. He's going to bask in the comfortable afterglow.]
Guess this is our field now, huh? Means we can do this more often.
It'll be nice to have something for us. [The unspoken 'just for a while' hangs there between them. Both of them have given up a lot of themselves for the rebellion. They will probably keep giving up more as time goes on. That's almost an inevitability at this point.]
[Peter's eyes close as Leo trills. The sound just makes the brunette smile widely. He presses a clumsy kiss against the side of his husband's head. He's happy to fall silent and just enjoy Leo's weight over him.
He's realizing the longer they are laying here, he is definitely going to be sore, but he's looking forward to it. It's a good kind of sore. The exertion is from something they like as opposed to stretching themselves thin for a fight.]
Whenever I bother with pants again, I'll vaguely find some edible flowers and go 'oh, our great bounty'.
[Peter runs a hand lazily across his shell, smiling at the reaction. The sound of Leo's laughter is one of his favorite sounds. A sound he's sorely missed.]
We spent hours searching for anything edible, really.
[It's Peter's turn to laugh, the sound just a little hoarse in places.] Right, of course. We need to monitor it ourselves. If we tell too many people, it just won't thrive.
[He keeps his touches to Leo's shell light, easy. Physically the two could probably keep going, such is the curse of being two mutants. Emotionally, he just wants to bask in Leo.
He flushes a little at that. Not sure if he should be embarrassed. Eventually, he does settle on embarrassed, trying to not let the feeling ruin the mood.]
Sorry if that-one part was weird. [He isn't sure how to describe how he's feeling or why it came out.] I guess I got carried away.
[He turns his head, kissing at Peter's neck before biting it gently between his teeth. He could easily go again if they worked up to it, but they probably have to get back soon.]
[He wants to leave this bruise if he can, just where the edge of it can be seen when Peter's not wearing a mask. He's very intent on it, even when his words come out muffled.]
I know. Wish I could give you all my time. But... [He gives the spot he was biting a soft press of his mouth.] Until then, it's... good. To hear you want me.
[Between being Leader to taking shifts watching after all the kids, to having to train... It's good to have this and know someone wants him as he is and not his roles.]
[His healing factor makes every bruise a challenge, and Peter is happy to encourage it. He tilts his head back a little to give Leo more access.
He hums softly at that.] I love you, and I always want you. Later, when this is done. When everyone is safe. We'll have all the time we want. [He'll believe that until he dies.]
You'll be stuck with me, trying to figure out how to maintain a house, and a yard. [A teasing threat of domesticity.]
One day, we'll have a big breakfast. [He muses, his hands drifting across Leo's shell.]
Not really, but, it would make the kids less cooped up. [Living in the base underground isn't great for any of them. The kids especially are quiet and nervous.]
[Peter sighs lightly, not at Leo. Just at the situation. At the unfairness of it all. It's something minor in the grand scheme of things, but its just another addition to the pile.
Peter nuzzles into Leo, just trying to grasp at the levity where he can without losing the reality of the situation either.] I understand, it's...
Maybe one day, we'll get that option. Right now, not so much.
[It's difficult, finding those silver linings. Even if they manage to drive off the Kraang, get their world and homes back... it's all destroyed. The landscape is forever changed, it'll take decades of hard work just to get the ecosystem back to sustainable.]
In the meantime, I'm happy to lay like this with you for as long as we can.

[Unless something happens and they need it for something else. But the idea is nice, that they get to have a spot that's just... theirs.]

Yeah. Just for us. [He presses his forehead against Peter's shoulder, trilling quietly at that.]

There's some round here somewhere. Maybe some mushrooms if we're lucky.

Clean sheets, smell of fresh cooking. Oh my god, coffee, can you imagine?
no subject
Being able to sleep in, when we're actually ready we can get up and have coffee, before figuring out breakfast.
[The thought of breakfast makes him smile a little, having to bask in the idea of just what breakfasts used to be like to some extent.]
Actual eggs, Leo. real eggs. [Not those flash frozen fake eggs in food kits.]
no subject
Real eggs... Real sausage...
[He could feel some kind of way about their old food alone.]
Remember skateboarding? And basketball?

I'm surprised you haven't taught the kids skateboarding yet. [A gentle tease in turn.]
