xp log - kippei and shinji

Shinji wasn't blue anymore. At first, Kippei felt a bit guilty for being a little sorry about this, and then, as Shinji got more tense and restless by the day, he stopped feeling guilty but also stopped enjoying the idea quite so much, because it really sucked for Shinji all the way around. It was hard to appreciate any part of a situation that made your boyfriend miserable. At least while he'd been burnt out Shinji didn't have to worry about hearing too much, but now that the quiet room was under construction to repair the damage from Ryuhana's attack, he didn't have a place to go to get that bit of relief now that his powers were back.

Kippei didn't know what it was like to have to hear everything all the time, but it seemed to make Shinji tense and unhappy, and that was definitely bad.

"Come here," Kippei told him, holding out his hand. He'd been stretched out on the bed, attempting to read, but that wasn't working so well. He kept getting distracted by the restlessness and general air of moodiness that Shinji was wearing lately. Distraction time. Except distracting him was getting less and less effective, and Kippei was a little worried. Okay, more than a little.

Bloody. Hell. Shinji just stared, creeping around the corner and into the cave and it was perfect and no one would see them, even if there were people to see and the water drowned out everything. It was just Kippei, and Kii and himself and it was so damn perfect Shinji wanted to cry. Instead, he dumped his bags with an apologetic thought to Kii and raced forward, tackling Kippei and knocking the smug bastard to the floor. They were going to live here, together, and sure it was just for a little bit but that wasn't the point. This was home, and it was perfect and Kippei found it and that was all that mattered.

I love you So. Damn. Much and its perfect and you know it and we get to stay in here and we can leap straight out there and float in the fall and there's a pond at the bottom right? Is it deep enough to dive? It's not even wet in here...the water goes the other way, that's so cool.

He didn't use words, because his mouth was very, very busy.

Kippei barely had time to drop his own bags before Shinji tackled him to the sandy floor, and he was grinning like a lunatic but it got smothered in kisses before it actually did break his face. Deep hot kisses and there were words in his head, Shinji words, and Kippei held him tight and kissed him back with hungry joyful fire, because it was perfect and he felt so good he wondered if it was possible to die of it.

I love you more, and the thought held a teasing edge, because it wasn't a competition and not something they could measure anyway, and he was pretty sure it was impossible for either of them to love each other more, but maybe what he really meant was 'more than anything, more than everything, more than forever.' Always more.
