That's what always irritates him for real and he ends up trying to smack Chuuya's hand away even as he rolls his eyes. He leans in quick to steal a brief kiss instead.]
Shut up, I take family shit seriously, moron. That's why you shouldn't be fucking surprised I'll go.
[cool, if the shoving match is over that's when baren's going to wind his arms around chuuya's waist just to pull him into his lap. for some reason he feels like it's easier to have these conversations when they're physically close, if only because physical affection is what he's still more accustomed to]
You're mine, stupid - but I'm yours too.
[and that's a terrible decision on chuuya's part but - ]
[he accepts the closeness easily enough, settling in and resting against baren. he's entirely too easy... but then he doesn't let anyone else get away with as much as baren does, so.]
There's things I want, and then there's things I don't want to push you into.
[but- he hums under his breath, thinking, before he continues.]
If you're really asking, though-- I want to meet your sister sometime. But that's all up to you, yeah? Kind of a bigger deal than you meeting my family.
[that much he can admit, even if he doesn't sound thrilled about it. but that's what his sister's like - curious without end. she knows everything that baren knows about chuuya, just short of meeting him for herself.
now that chuuya's managed to cement himself as such an important person in baren's life, of course she wants to bridge that gap.
Are you good at waiting or decent at hiding when you're impatient? 'cause you know you always jump the gun when you've got what you want in front of you.
[He'd told Fawkes that before - Chuuya would never accept having something that he wants so close at hand and still being told no.
Still though, it's just a tease to match Chuuya's half smile, coupled with one of Baren's fingers tracing down Chuuya's spine just to be annoying.]
Baren blinks once before shaking his head ever so slightly and closing the space between them again with a kiss. He dodges the question with a half-hearted attempt that also serves as an answer - ]

[uGH WHY IS HE LIKE THIS...
chuuya shoves at him, reflexively at first but then harder, trying to push him off to the other side of the couch.]
Just say yes, jackass, you don't need the rest of that!
no subject
Baren's cracking up at that, though if Chuuya's shoving at him he'll just try to hold onto Chuuya's wrists to pull him right along.
Don't mind if he tries to continue obnoxiously pressing kisses to Chuuya's cheeks.]
Yes! Idiot! I'll meet your family. Jackass! And I'll be on my best behavior. Dumb shit!

[just SHOVING AT BAREN'S FACE NOW, gross, stop smooching him like this when he's TRYING to fight you!!]
And they're gonna like you even if you're a fucking dick! Stupid peacock!
no subject
and also keep laughing because he still thinks this is funny for some reason
it might be muffled but what he says next is "Can't wait to impress your whole family, dipshit!"]
no subject
Just don't fake it too hard, idiot, I don't want them meeting some made-up version of your ass.

Look, maybe you just didn't want to be serious about my family this soon, alright? I wasn't gonna assume anything, give me a break here.

You're mine, stupid - but I'm yours too.

If there's anything you want, just say it.
[and whatever chuuya says he wants, he'll get]

... give me some more time.
[it'll happen.
he just needs to mentally prepare for it.]
no subject
[chuuya gives him a little half-smile, there. he doesn't mind waiting if baren's not ready, but--
it's one of the last barriers they have. it's hard not to be a little impatient.]

I'll give you what you ask for in time, pet.
no subject
[he'll believe just about anything baren says... at least that's less unfortunate, these days, but.
his back arches slightly at that touch, and he huffs out a little sigh-]
Where the hell did that come from, anyway? I know when you started calling me that, just--
[not... why...]

Learn anything about what you're missing, Chuu?
