Misto managed to suppress most of his sound of protest as the other drew away. Watching him go, he waited another few moments before dragging himself to his feet and following the other into the kitchen, leaning against the door frame.

Coricopat glanced in his direction as he got down the tea from the cupboard.

Sighing softly Misto came further into the room, still resting his weight against something else. "Thank you," he whispered softly.

Coricopat glanced at him, turning to lean against the counter a bit, "Whatever for?"

"Everything?" Misto said softly. "Right now letting me cry on you and making me tea more than anything." He ran a paw through his headfur and paused. "It's just, it's been a long time since I even told anyone what today meant, let alone had anyone do that."

Coricopat nodded very slightly, "You're welcome."

"I..." Misto leaned toward him and rocked back, hesitating.

Coricopat glanced at him again, getting two cups down for the tea, unsure about what to do.

Wavering again, Mistoffelees stepped forward, looking up at the other. He... well, there were a lot of things he was tempted to do but settled for simply saying, voice soft. "Coricopat I... I love you."

The lawyer paused at that, turning to fully look at the other. He gently placed a paw on Mistoffelees' cheek. "I..."

Misto blinked at that, and offered the mottled tom a faint smile and small shrug. "I, I just, I do."

"I...." Four simple words, he could say it couldn't he? "Thank you." Apparently not. He wasn't sure he would mean it if he did...

Misto nodded slightly, tilting his head into the paw on his cheek. "Of course," he said, voice still soft. He had somewhat noticed Coricopat's pause though, and half guessed what it might have been about. "Coricopat, I love you. I... am reassured by saying that. It doesn't mean you have to do the same, or even feel the same. I just..."

"I...I know. I..." He sighed, managing an almost reassuring smile, but turning away as the water came to a boil.

When the other turned away, Misto closed his eyes briefly before forcing them open again as he leaned against the counter. Saying it was alright was one thing, actually having no problem was another. Some small part of him was still crying out that he wanted to hear the words, feel the words, anything. But he'd gone most of his life without them, and tried to convince himself he could go quite a while more.
