[each bit of affection is something he craves, not just from miai but from everyone he comes across, but unlike the people he tries to fill the hole in his heart with it actually sticks; he'd noticed it with nazuna too, and with some of the memories he'd gotten back. it's nice, it's easy and familiar, and leo's grin widens pleasantly at the compliment he's so accustomed to, shifting so he can cage an arm around miai's head instead.]

You know I have a hard time saying no to you, Miai~. [in that special inflection he'd liked to use, more my than a proper mi, leaning his cheek into the touch.] Haha, no, it's more like I can't ever say no to you, not when you're like this. ♪

[there's other people he has trouble saying no to in his life now, besides miai and his little brother. it's hard to refuse kuro, to refuse nazuna; the first is due to an understanding at the core of their beings, and the second--

leo doesn't really want to think of the second, not right now, it draws heavy realization against his chest and he's not about that at the moment. he wants to kiss miai against a half-painted building and that be that.

so he does. first on his cheeks, then down his jawline, and dipping back up to his lip; a well-traveled trail, but miai does like having him close. a thousand melodies in his mind and all he wants to do is this.

he huffs playfully, mumbling against the other.]

I swear, you're only so greedy 'cause I did my best to spoil you back then...
