( Hwylryn is happy to let them slant off-course, content to fix his gaze on Ish and only Ish and let their legs guide their adventure. But his legs may or may not have inclination toward the fruit trees...
But what Ish says warms him in a way he doesn't expect. He knew, no matter what, he'd love what Ish would give him, because it comes from the heart. But to be given the whole of the thing - to have Ish set him up in his chest and say here you are, you're all of it, the creation and terminal point of my emotion - there's a color in his cheeks he doesn't expect, and he expresses it by leaning up from where he leans in to press a kiss to his cheek.
Where Ish had considered Norna first and foremost in matters of belonging to someone else, Hwylryn considers Gwawlyn first in matters of the heart - Gwawlyn is his, as he had said once, in passing. And perhaps it is weightier to him that Ish gives him this word because Hwylryn associates it with Gwawlyn's gravity. )
If that's the first thing that comes naturally, you've already outdone me. ( Not that it was a competition! (But, playfully, maybe it is,) ) I'd be happy to beat for you. To curl up inside you and live there— I wouldn't need anywhere else.
( He nuzzles his cheek into the crook of Ish's neck, almost as if he's just looking for more ways to slot against him like a puzzle piece. )
