[ 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. ]

[rattlingthestars]

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.

[swatsflies]

I can think of something that needs improvement.

[ Bumping their noses. ]

More kisses? [ He's been starved of affection with their memory future weirdness. ]

[rattlingthestars]

Like you have to ask.

[ A while later, though, when they take a break - ]

I do have one question.

[swatsflies]

[ 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?

[rattlingthestars]

[ It has been forever. Jim's loathe to interrupt it, but he really wants to know... ]

Did you ever look at the pictures?

[swatsflies]

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. ]

[swatsflies]

[ 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. ]

[rattlingthestars]

[ Jim tries to dodge away from the poking, but he can't miss every one. ]

Hey!

[swatsflies]

[ 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. ]

[rattlingthestars]

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.

[swatsflies]

You're in my arms.

[ Pressing a kiss against the corner of Jim's mouth. ]

You're at my mercy, baby.
