[ Pressing a kiss against the back of Jim's head. ]
Sounds like a plan.
[ It's better knowing they have something to move towards. Even if its just flipping a coin or venturing out as far as they can go.
He picks up on something is wrong. Slowly pulling away, feeling reluctant to, but knowing maybe it'll help. Maybe it'll get them both spent and exhausted that they won't really think about what they have lost. ]
Always, Stars.

You didn't - Zell -
[ It shouldn't have mattered, even though it did. Maybe if things hadn't happened the way they had, maybe if it hadn't been one thing on top of another, it would have been better in the future. Maybe if Jim promises right now that this won't happen again, it will be. ]
You're my partner. No matter what. And I think - if I'd remembered that - we wouldn't have been so messed up.

[ Going to shift his arms. Siting back on his rear and pulling Jim into his lap. ]
Yeah, we are partners, but it wasn't your fault. This place messed with us big time.
[ Big time feels like it's being put lightly. Rubbing circles against his back as he tries to meet his eyes. ]
We now know more about what it can do. We can be prepared if it ever happens again, right?

[ Jim remembers when he first heard about Guardian Forces, how horrifying it had been. How he'd promised that they would just start over, if they had to. How wrong he'd been. ]
Right.
[ Jim settles against Zell, knees on either side of his legs, and wraps his arms under Zell's for good measure. ]
You're important. You're worth building something new with. Every time.
Right.
[ Jim settles against Zell, knees on either side of his legs, and wraps his arms under Zell's for good measure. ]
You're important. You're worth building something new with. Every time.
[ Kissing his forehead and then resting his own there. His heart had been feeling heavy, and at being told he's worth building something new with, it feels a little better. ]
You too. You're worth building something new. So, if you ever forget this or us. I'll do my best to make you fall for me all over again.
[ Maybe without the actual falling. ]

[ Maybe without the actual falling. ]
[ Some days Jim really, really doesn't deserve Zell. ]
You made me better. Just by being here. You get that, don't you?
[ Not just happier, but healthy again, Jim's pretty sure. ]

[ Not just happier, but healthy again, Jim's pretty sure. ]
[ Jim pulls away when Zell does, though he's reluctant for someone who suggested this in the first place. He shrugs his jacket onto the floor and kicks it away (where it's instantly claimed by Mochi), not really looking at Zell but already breathing hard. ]
[ There are times he forgets honestly just how he makes Jim feels. Its only when they are alone together or when they are playing around in the snow that he catches it and it takes him unawares all over again. Knowing someone cares as much and has changed just as much as he cares and changed is amazing. ]
I mean, you make me better. You give me a reason to smile, Stars. And I want to keep improving and learning with you.
[ Leaning in to give a chaste kiss on his lips. ]

You're already pretty amazing.
[ There's a reason Jim started calling him Sunshine in earnest; sometimes that smile's the only thing that makes all this seem worth it. ]
No improvements needed.

I can think of something that needs improvement.
[ Bumping their noses. ]
More kisses? [ He's been starved of affection with their memory future weirdness. ]

[ Being physical is his favorite go-to for when shit be wrong. He takes a deep breath and then is up pulling off some layers himself. Shaking his limbs loose and doing some quick stretches as he heads for the mats.
Rubbing his face and then focusing on the here and now. Letting it all fade away to just an ache at the back of his mind, while focusing on the mat and Jim. Getting into position as he waves at Jim. ]
Show me what you got, Stars.

Like you have to ask.
[ A while later, though, when they take a break - ]
I do have one question.

[ He'll whisper to Jim much later about how great it feels to have this and have him in his arms again. Time fuckery aside, it's been a couple of weeks and it feels like forever honestly.
Catching his breath as he rests his chin on Jim's shoulder. ]
Hmm? What's up, Stars?

[ Jim's still not focusing on the the here and now; his mind's still on what happened a few hours ago and what lays ahead of them, the two of them combined threatening to overwhelm him completely.
His body remembers what Zell's taught him anyway, dropping into a defensive stance and circling him warily, waiting for the first strike instead of taking one himself. ]

[ It has been forever. Jim's loathe to interrupt it, but he really wants to know... ]
Did you ever look at the pictures?
Did you ever look at the pictures?
Huh?
[ He tilts his head as he tries to figure it out. Then he realizes and his face grows warm. ]
Y-yeah I did.
[ Pls forgive him ]
I mean, if you're talking about the pictures.

[ Jim just lays his face down on Zell's shoulder and laughs. Between the blush and - everything else it's just too funny. ]
[ He makes an exaggerated whine. ]
Jiiiiiim.
[ Dropping his hands to his boyfriend's sides as he pokes the special spots. he can give him a better reason to laugh. ]
Jiiiiiim.
[ Dropping his hands to his boyfriend's sides as he pokes the special spots. he can give him a better reason to laugh. ]
[ Jim tries to dodge away from the poking, but he can't miss every one. ]
Hey!
Hey!
[ There's no escape. He has him in his lap and all. Shifting his legs up to an attempt to keep him there as he moves to nibble on his neck while poking still. ]
What?
[ Snickering as he stops not exactly wanting Jim to flee. ]
What?
[ Snickering as he stops not exactly wanting Jim to flee. ]
[ Okay, he'll move first. He moves in and makes like he'll grab his shirt collar, but then he drops down to sweep his leg at Jim's ankles. Hey bb, want to be swept off your feet? ]
I was supposed to be teasing you.
[ He'd waited like fifteen years for it, in fact!
Jim's easy enough to pin, though, especially once Zell stops poking. ]
Not really fair.

Not really fair.
[ Jim's off his game enough that he reacts to feint instead of the real attack, and starts to go down. He's fast enough to turn it into a roll, though, and comes back up a few feet away from Zell if he's not grabbed. ]
You're in my arms.
[ Pressing a kiss against the corner of Jim's mouth. ]
You're at my mercy, baby.
