[Clearly, Kaz's brain is starting to wonder, and his hands start to wander... But... Hm. Wide awake now, looking at the top of your head. Your rather bushy head.]
You could use a haircut, babe.
[Yes, good, mundane things to distract from other things.]
Yeah... Yeah, I think I've had enough practice on your hair to know you like it a little scraggly.
[He's nuzzling into your hair, sighing contentedly.]
I love you, Nico.
[Kaz says it because he's never felt that urgency before. Dying and talking to Jill and Leo made him realize that there really wasn't anyone else, that Nico was it. His forever guy.]
We should probably go home to your parents and let them know soon. 'Course, I think everyone was just waiting for that proverbial penny in the air to drop.
[He pulls you closer, a hand on your side, the other shoved under both your heads as another pillow. Funnily enough, he actually swings a leg over you just to make sure you both flush against each other.]
[That only happens maybe an hour and a half later, when there's a knock on Nico's door: one of the Zashiki-Warashi, bringing food and a gentle reminder that he'll have to roll out three hours after that.
Squirming a bit, then sighing before kissing you on the cheek and pushing himself up. There's food for the both of you.
[ He's going to get up too, if you're leaving then he's got to get ready to go as well. Scrolling through his phone for a booking back to Falner after your port.
He's nuzzling at your neck briefly before he finds something, grabbing some of the food on the tray. ]
I'm telling the Hounds and Mamita when I get back. S'that okay?
[ If he's silent and blinking, it's because this has never come up before, nor does it really matter... His family loves you, and has been supportive since they learned of it. ]
Speaking if Xi Wang... What kind of cigarettes does she like? Or her favorite drink?
[ Kaz owes her a lot by his own estimation. Plus he'd like to think they are friends, if not two people with the common goal of seeing Nico fulfill his dreams. ]

[Now rolling over, to bury his face into your chest. You smell so good.]
...Almost as good as you letting me sleep in your arms for about another hour.

Better?

[Y e p.
Much better.]

[ This is good too. He'll be perfectly content to stay like this until it's absolutely necessary for the two of you to move. ]

[Blinking a moment, though.]
You don't think your grandmother will mind... right?
[She's kind of scary.]
no subject
[ It will be, trust him. ]
She's never not liked you, anyway.

Just, your family's approval means a lot to me.

Y-yeah... Same here.

Kissing you on the forehead. He can't help it.]
Great. Guess, uh, I should text them...
[Getting that phone now.]
no subject
Lemme know when you want to go, so I can take time off... Um... Seeing as I'm asking for your hand in marriage, it should be soon right?
no subject
[Even if Tian is pretty damned busy. Xi Wang is a fair woman.]

[He finds it nice how you're even asking.]
no subject
I'll have to find a nice mix just for her, then. I'd take you back to Tian myself, you know... But there's stuff waiting for us Hounds too.
no subject
[He smiles, and leans in to kiss Kaz on the forehead.]
Things are different now, but that doesn't change what matters, eh? I'll still find time to see you when I can.
[And you'll do the same, as you have now.]
no subject
[ Tactile puppy that he is, he does love waking up to you. ]
But yeah, there's time now. Lots of it.
[ He glances at the clock, thinking 'It'd be great if you could stay another hour.' but it's almost time. ]
