Macaque pulls back just a bit as it becomes evident that MK is going to reply in depth, say things they probably should have said before if they weren't too busy getting lucky, but he only pulls back enough to look at MK while staying in each other's arms.
His expression shifts from curious, to amazed, to something soft and relaxed and only for MK.
"Here we are," he agrees, while one of his hands lightly cards through MK's hair, grooming but softer. Everything soft feels right in this moment.
He leans forward until their noses touch, which seems to be a thing they do to indicate closeness. Macaque finds that it quite agrees with him.
"I love you too. And I'm not going anywhere." He can make that promise now.
MK watched how Macaque's face changed and it made his heart race. He was so soft looking in this moment and the touch was just as soft. He leaned into the touch and pressed his nose back. He did love these touches. It was soft and close. Intimate and could go either into passion or just stay soft. He stared back into Macaque's eyes. MK's were bright and soft, full of love and trust. Complete trust.
"Neither am I. And I'm glad we're here. Together."
Macaque doesn't look away as MK looks at him with such openness. He gazes right back with an obvious tinge of nerves -- worry about his own inadequacies -- but also with trust that far outshines it. With care and affection and hope. MK's words make his mouth turn up in a gentle smile.
"Together is a nice concept. I could get used to it." Nice here being an under-exaggeration, and his tone makes that clear. It's not nice, it's miraculous.
He's not sure what else there is to say, so he cants forward and gives MK a kiss that's almost lazy. Casual. Something that one does everyday, or at least hopes to.
MK doesn't look away either. He can see the nerves and worry. He was so happy to see it fade away too. The way the trust outshines it and he felt his heart flutter. He watched Macaque and heard the message under the words. Nice was not the right word but the tone told MK the more of it. He kissed back just as lazily and casually. He hummed and his eyes sparkled.
"I could get used to this. All of it. And I want to."
For a moment, Macaque just smiles and breathes. Even after a shitshow like the kidnapping-obedience mess, MK is like salve on a burn, so soothing, inviting, making Macaque melt like butter in a warm pan.
He touches his forehead to MK's. "So could I, kiddo. And we will." There's time for that, now that they're on the same page. Macaque ran out of reasons to fight it a while ago, and they can stay gone.
"Thanks for being here." As evidenced by Macaque's immediate and unending snuggling, he needed it.
MK pressed into the touch to his forehead. He snuggled with Macaque and relaxed into the bed and his warrior. He chirped; gratitude. Happiness. Contentment. Love.

They both needed it.
