dolph's eye goes wide and his breathing stutters to a stop. he had never doubted vash's feelings. he knows the man struggles with his own feelings. his own self. a struggle dolph very much understands. didn't mind being patient about because vash promised him he'd try. and he does. vash promised he'd come back. and he did.
vash was miraculous that way. choked, dolph squeezes their hand, pulling him close. ]
[ Dolph's lucky that Vash manages to keep his feet steady when he gets pulled and doesn't do anything spectacularly...vash, and trip. It takes a lot, because even though he's unsurprised to hear the words aimed in his direction, its still new. So very new.
He's almost too focused on the tight warmth in his chest to speak, so it's still quiet, no louder than a whisper. ]
W-woah hey. Hi.
[ He bumps their foreheads together, a motion that's become rather familiar to him when it comes to Dolph. ]
[ his voice comes out a touch breathless too. vash isn't the only one taking it all in. he feels like gold. precious and touched all over. like everything in life just connected, crystal clear. ]
You really said it.
[ awed, as he presses their foreheads together, brushing some of vash's hair back. ]
[ Like a cat, he's quick to lean into the brush of fingers through his hair, his own hands lifting up to rest lightly against Dolph's neck, mismatched thumbs brushing against his jaw. ]
Maybe timing's not my strong suit.
[ It's a joke at his own expense, but he laughs anyway. It's quiet, like much of this conversation and it trails to nothing when he leans in to press a kiss to Dolph's lips. ]
[ he had meant to ask if there was anything else on vash's mind. it seemed like there was something, earlier. but all thoughts are chased away as he basks in this feeling. there's nothing quite like being told you're loved. it's heady.
so he kisses back sweetly, one to each corner of vash's lips. ]

Doesn't matter. It was perfect.
no subject
I don't know about perfect, but I'm not gonna argue.
[ As far as he's concerned, they can stand right here for however long and he'd be perfectly content. ]
no subject
[ because dolph is keen on ending any more talk, just focusing on holding vash and laying more kisses down. ]
