[Because it took him this long to really say it out loud as confidently as he just did.
While his relationship with Ramuda is also an important one, his relationship with Megumi is important for much different reasons. He loves the both of them, but he loves them for different reasons.
He leans his cheek into her touch, grounding himself to her.]
Selfishness to a degree is healthy. One must be selfish to their own needs every once in a while.
[ She lifts her gaze to his, she can't help but feel a wave of emotion. There are too many thoughts, including and not limited to the fact that she's found such a wonderful man that loves her fully— and who she's not afraid of loving back. Even if she knows one day they'll go to their own worlds, would it be so wrong to enjoy their happiness here?
She lets her fingers brush across his cheek, meeting his crystal-like eyes and falling silent for a bit. She looks thoughtful, then nods... ]
I want you to, too. But I already believe what you say.
[ She knows better than to question where she stands. With a sigh, she leans in and pulls Jakurai's face close to hers, laying a soft kiss on his mouth. ]
Sometimes, you're too perfect to be true, you know that? Maybe you should be bad so I can punish you some more.
[ It's her way of saying she trusts him no matter what. ]
[It took both of them some time to realize that they were falling hard and fast for one another, but Jakurai would never change his experience of falling in love with Megumi for the world.
He knows that they only have limited time— it could be days, months, years, or even minutes. But that doesn’t stop Jakurai from giving her everything that he has to offer her.]
I should be bad, should I? How would you suggest that I be bad? We can’t have me looking too pristine, now can we?
[He tilts his just a little bit to return her kisses, just as warm and full as before.]
I can't help it if you look just as beautiful as one, you know.
[ Ah- her ears lift and flick as she purrs, though the tease along her tail makes her make small, happy sounds as she slides up closer. ]
As much as I like you trying to lay claim to me... I do enjoy watching you writhe beneath me too. You really do underestimate how lovely you look, you know.
[ She pulls back, her eyes faintly catching the light in the darkness- she's a keeper of the moon after all. Her eyes do better in the darkness as well. ]
... though if you could see where I grew up. You'd probably never want to leave. It's the most beautiful land you'll ever see.
You do! [ Honest as ever. She stills for a bit, though, enjoying the way his fingers feel on her tail, and perhaps- she squirms a little, enjoying it a bit too much as she crosses her legs too.
She's obviously trying to contain herself, and her breath catches for a moment. ]
It's a vast and beautiful land, with hills and plains as far as they eye can see. Moon-gates rise high over the rivers, and mountains so high that they become part of the clouds and sky, and the night sky is filled with so many stars you can see into the heavens beyond... that's where I grew up... In the lands of Yanxia.
[ She tenses a moment, but doesn't push him away. ]
W...ere you always living in this Shinjuku of yours?
[It makes his chest swell to hear such an beautiful explanation of her homeland. Of course, Jakurai had only the beauty of modern japan to compare to it.
He hums to himself, thinking. Thinking thinking thinking.]
I was in the military for quite some time after I put down the mantle of being an assassin. That took me several different places around the world. When the wars were ended, and the overthrow of the government happened...I came home. Shinjuku will always be my home.
It is a hustle and bustle of city life, loud cars...even louder people. Entertainment districts as far as the eye can see. Shinjuku is very classy, but the personality of the day and the night are completely different. I suppose that can be said of many of the residents of Shinjuku as well.
[ She repeats it under her breath, though thanks to this place, she can actually imagine the world around. Her hand brushes across his cheek, watching his face with an affectionate look before she chuckles. ]
It sounds like it, Doctor who was once an Assassin.
[ She smiles, her gaze softening at the sight of him. ]
I'd like to see it sometime. Maybe we can visit it in one of those Amphoria Rooms...
[ She doesn't want to bring up the thought or idea of him leaving and her following... she knows it's not possible. They may as well focus on what they can do at this point. ]
Why don't we go tomorrow, after work? You look tired right now, Jakurai. And I want a nap.
[ She pushes close so she can tuck her head under his and hold him tight— it is late and even though she doesn't sleep at nights, she wants to sleep here with him. ]

I want to diminish the fear that you hold.

[ A totally serious suggestion, he knows! She smiles playfully, giving his nose a little boop with her own. ]
Or you could ask me to suck you off in your car. But then we'll have to wash the seats again...
[ Someone has learnt the joys of fucking in the car... ]
no subject
[ It's fine. But oh, that second suggestion. He tilts his head.]
We are going to defile the car that way, love, but... that's okay. Isn't it?
no subject
[ She giggles, her ears wiggling playfully as she wraps her arms around Jakurai's waist now and pushes her face into the side of his neck. ]
Not that every sun with you isn't a blessing.
[ She sighs and gives his skin a playful nip, purring as she wraps her tail around him. ]
Besides, where I come from, we just call it bonding. That's the way of Menphina, after all. Give love and pleasure where you can, bring joy.
[ It doesn't have to be sexually but that's the way she has fun with it. ]
And I'm a good devotee, aren't I?
no subject
[ He nibbles along her jaw before pecking her lips again.]
You are a wonderful devotee, and hopefully I can learn a thing or two from you.

[He rubs his hand along the base of her tail now, tilting his head to get a better look at her expressions.]
I cannot deny that it thrills me when you stake your claim on me as you do, and allow me to do the same to you.
[He makes a low humming noise, questioning.]
Tell about where you grew up?
