Simon's eyes went a little lick and he turned his head to look at Naoki. "That's longer than anyone else...besides Itzel." He muttered in reply.

"Well.. I don't really have any other place to go.. especially with someone that wouldn't mind me staying with him..", said softly the boy.

Simon pulled Naoki into a gentle kiss for a few moments before breaking it slowly. "I can't imagine letting you go..."

Naoki was a bit surprised with the sudden kiss and then his ears lowered when he heard Simon.
"Yeah.. right.. You will get bored with me soon. I'm just a new toy.. that's all", muttered the boy.

"No you're not..." Simon said softly before he removed his hat slowly and nuzzled his head against Naoki's chest. "You're not just a toy. I wouldn't have ran after you if you were just a toy."

Well.. at least Simon didn't deny he was a toy.. and that let the boy believe in his words. Though then he glared at the mage.
"I'll scratch your eyes out if you are lying", he said grimly.

"I know you will." Simon said softly before he kissed Naoki again gently.

"Mhm.. Is it okay if I won't tell you back that I.. love you? I'm not sure yet what is love between two people..", he said honestly, scratching his neck. "Though, if that helps, I like you as a person."

Simon closed his eyes. "To be honest, I really don't know either...I've only heard fairytales where the characters fall in love after three days and for some reason decide to marry each other."

"Three days... Marry.. Wouldn't that be kind of quick to decide on something so important so fast?", asked Naoki, tilting his head a bit. "Granny said that her's husband needed six months of constant advances to make her say yes to have their first appointment."
