[Orion's cheeks flush a little at the mention of the soap comment. Yea, that's a pretty high level of being able to smell something.]

Oh. I can leave if you need me to.

[He doesn't mean to add to the problem by following him here.]

Are you getting any headaches from it? I'm sure Fai has some painkillers. I can go grab them for you.

And miss how nice you smell? Or how cute you look when you blush?

[He laughs again and walks over to him.]

I think you should stay here and distract me with that.

I told you I don't blush.

[It's more stated simply than anything. What is blushing?

Still, when Biffy comes closer to him, he can feel his heart beat a little faster. He's been so nervous all day. And... well, in this room, alone with him, it's probably a better time than ever to do this.]

Uhm... Can you wait right here a moment? I promise I'll be right back. Just... stay here, okay?

Please?

I seem to remember that I have a picture that says otherwise.

[He smiles at him. Only to blink at that next part.]

Yes? I'll stay here.

[He's just going to try to pretend that picture didn't happen.]

Thank you.

[And Orion zips out of the room real quick. Biffy can probably hear him crash into something, followed by a massive series of apologies. He's... clearly in a nervous hurry. Some shuffling to help tidy back up whatever it was, and then prompt footsteps rushing back to the room.

He's got a small-ish box in his hands, messily wrapped in gift paper. He... still doesn't know how to wrap things. Sorry, Biffy.

But... he takes a breath to steady himself and holds the box out to him.]

I... I got this for you.

[Inside the box is the nicest music box Orion could find, that when wound up plays The Music of the Night.

And Orion's holding his breath to see if Biffy will like it.]

[He's confused and tilts his head like a dog trying to make sense of something. But he stays put until Orion gets back with the gift.

Taking it, he carefully opens it to find the little piano. A smile lights up his face as he winds it up, curious to find out what it plays.

And it's The Music of the Night.

Softly, he starts to hum with it, his voice pleasant and lovely like the little melody playing. When the song ends, he looks up at Orion.]

It's beautiful. I would give you mind but I believe I'm obeying and staying put. So, I think I have a better idea for how to thank you until then.

[Cupping the back of his head, he pulls him in for a kiss.]

[Orion listens quietly as Biffy hums, enticed by the sound.

And Biffy likes it. He's so glad.

But then, he hadn't expected the next part - to be pulled into a kiss. And his eyes go wide briefly, before he realises what's happening. Then the rest kicks in naturally.

He sets his hands on Biffy's waist, gently pulling him closer as he softly kisses back. And it's so different from any kiss he's had before. Before has always been immediate - the physical attraction. But Biffy's is much sweeter, much warmer, and definitely much more worthwhile.

Definitely one of the best gifts he's ever received.]

[Biffy lets the kiss linger on a bit, especially after he finds Orion responding to it. When it ends, he's smiling up at him.]

You know, I've been waiting for you to kiss me. I'm glad I got tired of waiting.

[And he's not about to hide for a second that he's been wanting to do this.]

[Oh.

He never realised it. What else has Biffy been waiting on him to do?]

Sorry. For making you wait.

[A breath. He can feel his heart pound in his throat as he tries to say the next part.]

There is... something else. I wanted to ask... If you...

[God, his face is turning so red. He didn't rehearse this, and now he's realising he really should have. He has no idea what to say.

Round two.]

If you would.... would....... want to be my boyfriend...

I mean... officially.

[Something like this? He hopes he said it well enough for Biffy to understand. His heart is pounding too loud, and he feels like the butterflies in his stomach are messing up what he says.]

[He knows what is coming and his smile says as much. Still, he waits for Orion to get the words out. He's been waiting for this part too so he might as well wait a little longer for him to be able to say it, right?

And when he does, he grins.]

Yes. Of course I do.

[And he pulls him in for another kiss.]</small. I would love to.

I do, too.

[Obviously, Orion. Forgive him, he's a little flustered and kind of lost right now.

Acturally, he kind of feels like they just kind of said a wedding vow or something. Nervousness, happiness, and all. And a dose of embarrassment for the way he responded just now. But definitely more happiness than all the rest of it.

And he smiles when those lips meet his again, nuzzling his forehead against Biffy's a bit.

He did it. He asked and Biffy said yes. He's just... so happy right now. And he has to wonder if he's ever felt this happy before. He doesn't remember. He's always felt so stagnant before. And Biffy is like the change he never knew he needed.]

Thank you.

You have such a nice smile.

[He cups his cheek and then pulls back so he can better admire it. Well admire Orion in general but he's certainly enjoying how pretty that smile is.]

Here I am without my present in this room. I suppose you'll have to wait a little bit.

[He chuckles then takes Orion's hands in his own.]

You don't need to thank me for saying yes though.

[Who, him? Nice smile? No way.

But right now, he's not worried about what he does unconsciously. He'll blush and smile for Biffy all he wants right now. He's on cloud nine.]

Yea, maybe. Don't tell anyone though.

[He's saying that a bit playfully. A light, sarcastic tease, pretending his cover is about to be blown.

Oops. That's right. He told Biffy to wait right here while he scrambled off. He hadn't given a second thought that Biffy might have wanted to give him something in return.]

But I'm happy that I make you happy enough to say yes. [Or at least he hopes he does.] I couldn't be more grateful.

You try to protect me, like to spend time with me, happen to be quite attractive, and are making efforts to have a better life so we can be happy together? How could I not want to say yes?

[He taps his nose playfully then leans forward to actually give it a kiss.]

So, how about you stay put now and I'll be the one to be right back?

[It's only fair right? He pulls back so he can leave the room and go fetch the present. When he returns he has a box with a leather bracelet in it. It'll go well with anything Orion wears but also keep up with that masculine thing he has going. Plus Biffy likes the idea of getting to see it when they're together.]

I still don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to do any of that for you.

[Anyone who wouldn't doesn't realise what they're missing, really. Biffy is amazing, in all senses of the word. But hey. He guesses that their loss is his gain. He gets to be Biffy's boyfriend because others fell short. And, in that sense, Orion actually feels a bit accomplished. He did something others failed to do for Biffy. How often does something like that happen for someone like himself?

Orion does as he's told and waits. And when Biffy comes back, he carefully unwraps the present, finding the bracelet inside. The design and detail of it makes Orion open his mouth in awe a bit.

He takes it out of the box, wrapping it around his left wrist before fastening it again, looking it over. It really suits him, he thinks. And he really likes it alot.

He gives another smile to Biffy.]

I'll wear it everywhere. I'll definitely be showing it off.

[And then he leans in closer, gently wrapping his arm around Biffy's waist as he gives the other man, his boyfriend, a kiss of his own.]

[He'd had a feeling that Orion would like it. It suits him. Of course it pleases him more that Orion plans to wear it everywhere because it means that he'll get to see it on him all the time too.

Leaning into that kiss, he gently fixes some of that pale hair.]

I'm glad you like it.

[He's rather good at this gift giving thing though so he's not surprised that it's well received.]

This way you don't have to worry about me being displeased with it clashing with things too. It'll go with everything you own.

[Biffy's teasing him again but it is a little true.]
