[He's shy about the teasing to some, makes tsundere faces to others, does his best to weather the deference as gracefully as he can from still more well-wishers. It's clear he has a wide range of relationships with his people-- though some are teasing him about finally having his hood down, too.
Still, he doesn't let himself get too distracted from his companion, either, glancing up at him with blatant happiness every chance he gets.]
Of course they have. You alone are a magnificent enigma, and here we are so obviously close... they cannot resist the temptation to gossip.
[ he can tell there are people around them, who are absolutely looking at them, and he only moves closer at that, his other arm moving around his waist again as he kisses behind the exarch's ear ]
You're cute when you get all embarrassed.
And I want them all to know that they can fawn over you, sure. But in the end, you're all mine.
[his free hand flies to Bakugou's wrist, clutching at it but not moving him at all, not even trying to pry him off. his tail is lashing rapidly, his ears flickering back then forward again, the fine-furred edge of one brushing Bakugou's cheek and making him squeak just barely audibly in surprise.]
That's-- I've been yours all along! What need have they to know that?
[ he did not expect that reaction, and wow. It's so heartfelt and sincere, he doesn't know what to do with it. It's his turn to break the facade, and his face goes red as he mumbles definitely embarrassed now ]
... was just tryin' to be sexy ... shit. You really said it, though, huh.
[ how dare you turn the tables like that. Dream logic doesn't make any of that sound weird, and in fact? It sounds great — comforting and warm and perfect all at once. He loves him. ]
Now who's feeding the gossip ...?
But, you know ... it's not like I feel differently.
[he says, all teasing petulance, but he's stretching up to try and kiss him. warm through with love and reveling in how easy this all is, how his feelings don't get caught in his throat and choke him. don't get walled off behind a thousand reasons he can't engage, can't show himself so easily.]
[ Most of the significance of it is lost on him — after all, he isn't truly the Warriors of Darkness, and he only knows what the dream is presenting him. But that doesn't mean he can't feel all that love, that fondness, and he's quick to return the kiss - let himself enjoy it and get lost in the sweetness of it all ]
... Think I'd like to go somewhere more private. Don't wanna share you.
[If he knew Bakugou he'd see him more clearly for who he is-- but his sleeping mind is compensating with its strongest fixation, of course, and it's very helpful in compensating for the both of them.
[ He's cute? Wow. How dare he be this cute. He follows and there's even a smile at that, at how simple and playful it feels, like this is all just natural ]
[ WOW HE REALLY LIKES THIS CAT. Best dream cat. So of course once they are in his room in the Pendants, he's switching his hold to grab the Exarch's wrist instead, tugging at him and dragging him toward the bed ]
... Yeah. All for you, after waiting 300 years, huh?
[ he was going to just, like, toss him on the bed but you know? He's instead going to sit down on it, and drag G'raha down with him to get him to sit on his lap ]
[hell yes, climbing into his lap easily and readily! those robes make it very easy for him to straddle Bakugou, and his mismatched hands come to cradle his face.]
[ It's a little weird if he thinks about it a bit — the cat ears and tail he's absolutely into but the crystal hand and part of this guy's body? What is his mind coming up with and, like, why. But he doesn't care that much, no matter how cool the touch feels, and his hand moves to the small of his back while his other goes to his chest.
He leans in to kiss him again, and this time, he has no intention of keeping it light and tame ]
[The right half of his chest is largely crystal, while most of the left isn't. He can feel the uneven edge between flesh and stone even through the heavy cloth of those robes. At the small of his back, too, is the end of a tendril of crystal that must be streaking down his spine, stopping just before the base of his tail.
Noah's faceted thumb delicately strokes Bakugou's cheek, in sharp contrast to the fierceness he's kissing with.]
