[It was nearly whispered, because he genuinely meant it. He felt lucky he had Hizashi, lucky that the man stayed out of harm. That he was alive, and with him. It did mean that Shouta would worry endlessly whenever Hizashi was off doing hero work, or when he joined on dangerous missions. He couldn't help that. They've lost so much together.
But, not wanting to fall too deeply into this sappy moment - as expressing his feelings still came with difficulties.]
He's gross sometimes, though. So I guess he's pretty lucky that I'm willing to stick around.
[He deadpans this, giving Hizashi a Look.
But he couldn't keep it up, not with Hizashi's hand in his hair, which prompts him to close his eyes with a content sigh.]
Next time you're being dramatic, do it on the couch. Easier for me to lay with you that way.
Gross??! Maybe he was just grossly misled about germ theory? Huh?
[He flashes sad kitty-cat eyes at Shouta, since those are more effective on him than puppy-dog eyes, though the difference between those expressions may exist only in his mind.]
Yeah, sounds like a mutual luck situation you've got going on. Isn't that the best kind?
[Hizashi is already very aware of how lucky he is. How many people can say they met the man of their dreams in high school and managed to stay with him? It was a real stroke of great luck.]
I see your point. The couch has a lot more room for cuddling. I'll make sure to keep that in mind, as it's in my best interest. We could always... move to the couch?
[It's certainly possible. Not that Hizashi's in a real hurry to go anywhere, as he's very much enjoying Shouta sitting on him.]
Okay, okay. Fix my mouth for me, cause I need kisses.
[Hizashi opens his mouth wide, like a baby bird waiting to be fed.]
[The sad kitty-cat eyes do nothing. Only making him roll his own as he reaches over to gently poke the middle of his forehead. Though he can't hide the fond smile as he regards him. He really did love this idiot with all of his damned heart.]
I guess.
[Now that the couch was on the table for somewhere to lounge, he looks back down to Hizashi and his open mouth... Reaching over to deposit the mouth wash, and other things he brought for the man's throat, right on his chest.]
Do it yourself.
[His tone flat, yet there was that hint of mischief, paired with his cheshire grin as he gets to his feet to move to the far more comfortable couch. Which he stretches out on fully, on his back with a smirk. Though, not to be too mean, he gestures for Hizashi to join him with a 'come hither' by pointing to himself. Then he pats his chest.
Usually it was reversed, where Hizashi would lay down and he'd lay on top of him. But some days he felt different, and right now he wanted the man to relax and have the honors this time.]
Yeah, germ theory! I'm an English teacher, not a science teacher! It's a real tragedy.
[The phrases with extra emphasis he makes sure to say in exaggerated English.
He blinks when poked in the forehead, but doesn't really seem to mind. When Shouta leaves all the mouth-fixing supplies on his chest, he gathers them up before they can fall off, then pulls a sad face as Shouta moves away and settles himself on the couch.]
Okay okay! I get it, I get it. I've gotta take responsibility for my own dirty mouth.
[He pauses to grin.]
You don't always mind when I have a dirty mouth.
[But, as suggested, he gets busy fixing his own mouth. It wouldn't do for him to get sick and get a sore throat in addition to the sadness of not getting kissed. That'd be a real bummer, so he does a very thorough job, watching Shouta as he does so. Once he's finished with his treatments, he sets the supplies to the side and crosses the room to join Shouta. He settles himself down on the couch, stretching out on top of Shouta and snuggling up.]
There. All clean. See?
[To illustrate, he opens his mouth, showing the interior to Shouta.]
[A small sigh follows, yet there is a touch of fondness in the utterance as he regards the voice hero. His voice hero. But he was thankful the man was taking care of his dumb mouth after that disaster of a food decision. He was pretty sure the man would be okay, but for his own sake he needed that mouth to be clean and as pristine as a mouth could be. Especially with his prior knowledge.]
Dirty and dirty are entirely different things. I'm less likely to catch a floor disease when you're being dirty.
[He drawls this out whilst he gets comfy. His arms wide and accommodating when Hizashi joins him, wrapping them both around that slender waist as soon as the man settles. They're a bit tangled but he enjoys it, cheekily sliding his leg between the others, bending it as he secures the man comfortably on himself.]
Don't just open your mouth like that, any wider and you'd eat me.
[A simple quip as he tucks his hand under Hizashi's shirt, so he can start stroking at his bare back, under the garment while his free hand moves to pinch at the man's chin, gently nudging that gaping maw a bit more closed.]
But yes, I can see.
[For his efforts he merely tugs him in closer, so he could gift him a slow and lingering kiss.]
[[ooc: trying to get my present mic voice back; sorry this took so long!]]
Since I'm an English teacher, maybe I should write a play about it. Very Shakespeare. Julius Chicken Caesar Salad. Or The Tragedy of MacNugget. Real serious stuff.
[He makes a serious face, nodding seriously. Modern Mic masterpieces in the making.]
And as a language teacher, I can tell you, dirty and dirty are the same. They're the exact same words, y'know.
[No, he knows what Shouta really means. He just can't resist the joke. Jokes are harder to resist than floor-nuggets. That's good. He's got to resist the floor food from now on, now that he knows the cruel truth! It is some consolation to him as Shouta's arms slip around his waist, while his leg slides between Hizashi's own. It's a lot of consolation, actually. Very close and very nice.]
Hey man, you might be exaggerating a little. You're not gonna catch a deadly disease off me cause of one nug.
[Although in spite of his protests, he's doesn't feel like protesting much more. He's already relaxing under Shouta's very expert touch.]
Eating you might not be a bad idea... but you've gotta confirm you haven't been on the floor first. Cause I'm turning over a new leaf.
[However, he doesn't wait for any confirmation before letting himself be drawn into the kiss and kissing Shouta back as his eyelids start to close.]

Still, no kissing until you fix your mouth.
