[slides just the tip into his mouth so his tongue can lap up the chocolate, not breaking eye contact]

[cradles Lethe’s cheek with the rest of his hand, eyes hooding]

You’re making me think of a different sort of meal entirely.

[releases his finger when it's clean of chocolate, though there's now a thin coating of saliva on it instead]

I'm just repaying the favor.

[tilts his face up a little to kiss him across the table…]

[his mouth is in a teasing smile as he kisses back, a little rush of delight running through him over doing something as simple as kissing on a date]

[romance!

he looks pleased when the kiss breaks, in that subtle heavy-eyed way he does sometimes]

Delicious.

[licks his lips in an attempt to taste the phantom of Charon's kiss]

...I think dessert was my favorite part.

Sweets for the sweet, as it were.

Is it an acceptable date?

You could have brought me lunch in a brown paper bag and it would have been perfect. This was beyond my expectations.

You deserve to have your expectations exceeded one hundred percent of the time.

You're going to embarrass me if you keep up that kind of sweet talk. It's lovely, really. The best first date I could have asked for.

But not the only one, yes?

You can only have a first date once. Obviously we're going to have more than one date.

Well.

[pleased]

That’s all right, then.

[leans across the table to give him a light kiss on the lips]

Not right away, though. I need to think of a suitable counter-attack.

[laughs a little bit into the kiss, a breathless almost soundless noise]

Ought I be on my guard?

Only if you're planning to defend yourself. I don't recommend it, but you're welcome to try. I don't mind chasing you down if that's what you find fun.

How bold.

Perhaps I’d like to surrender myself to your tender mercies instead, though.

[gets up from his seat and makes the very bold move of scooting Charon's chair back just enough from the table to sit in his lap and wrap his arms around his neck]

That is my strong recommendation. Your pride might be hurt if you put up your defenses and I break them all down. For romance, it's better if you let me do whatever I want right from the start and just give me...feedback. If there's something you dislike.

[gently plaintive, clearly in a joking way, arms coming up around him]

But Lethe. You're making it so hard to choose now. I do so love posing a challenge.

Are you trying to make things difficult for me while you mess around, sir? A mere S-class should accept what he's given. I'll have to punish anyone who dares to cause trouble.

[his tone is light enough that Charon can tell that he's joking, leaning into the bit of being the straight man in the face of troublesome antics]

But what if I tell you I like punishment? Is it really punishment at all then?

It's still punishment, that's just a kink.

You'll never dissuade me of anything that way.

Maybe I'm not trying to dissuade you.
