Hm well I'd love to meet this help then. Especially if they're going to be a dullahan's eye candy apparently.
[A soft laugh easing out as he slowly stirs the softening chocolate. His head cocking to the side in mock thought.]
I don't know. Not sure that we can do at the same time. This recipe isn't that time consuming. That doesn't mean I don't like it when other things get 'heated'.
[He returns the kiss, deepening it enough to be satisfying while not distracting enough that he doesn't run the chocolate. Then it's unto pouring the gooey goodness into the warming milk and stirring that together.]
Hrm I don't know about that. You're a pretty lucky dullahan to start with.
[The reaper pulls him in close and presses a soft kiss to his cheek with a grin. He can idly stir while paying attention to Liam. He could use more of these kinds of memories for the holidays anyway.]
I'm not the best. Pretty sure you could outmatch me if you got a hang of it.
[It takes a moment or so to maneuver correctly, but he manages to catch James' lips in a long kiss. Holidays had never really been anything special before this, but now there's a swell of fondness that he's sure he wants to keep forever.]
Nah, you're the best. I'll settle with being second best, how about that?
[Humming contently into the kiss, he pulls away but not before knocking his forehead against Liam's. This was all he could ever want. Screw presents and all other nonsense of the holidays. The dullahan and this was enough.]
Hrm I don't know. We could both be best. Don't have to second anything.
Sorry but the cool is a mutual thing. Part of the fine print in the whole relationship deal. I'm glad you're happy with it though.
[Finishing the stirring, he moves the pot off the burner before reaching up to wind a hand into Liam's hair and pull him into a kiss. Nothing left to worry over means he can dwell on it and enjoy the affection.]
[He teases back, the words warm against James' lips as he's pulled in close. The kiss is slow, filled with all the love that he can manage, and deep, and he shifts so that he can press himself closer to his reaper, hands winding around the man's waist.
[He couldn't ask for a better kiss as he helps encourage the deepening of it and letting his own love and care be given to his dullahan. His hand winds into Liam's hair gently as his other arm wraps around his shoulders and brings him in close. Pulling away, a smile slowly grows as he sticks close.]
[There's still that surge of tightness in his chest every time he hears those words, and he can't help the bright, shy grin that breaks across his face.]
[He leans in to softly kiss the tip of Liam's nose with a smile. The reaper reaches around to make sure that their mugs were at the ready along with marshmallows.]
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I hope you know that.
[He worries over the silence because he could've said the wrong thing somehow. It was tricky to figure out what worked and didn't work in relationships when he learned the basics from a considerably poor source.
However he grins and presses a kiss to his forehead]
Nice to know I'm that good just for my hot chocolate skills.
Oh so it's simply a bonus? Hm well I guess there are other skills that you appreciate far more. Such as being a personal heater fit for a rather amazing dullahan.
[He gently cards his fingers through Liam's hair, pressing a kiss to his temple. It's barely noticeable but he rocks them both side to side during the embrace, humming contently to himself.]
[He falls into the embrace, his hands wandering down to James' hips. Being together like this is such a sweet thing, and he falls into rhythm with the reaper as he lets his eyes slide shut.]
Well same can be said to you, dork. Best dullahan and boyfriend in the world. Swear on it and I'll never take it back.
[Maybe it's a tad ridiculous but slowly he coaxed them into a simple sway dance in the kitchen. His hand brushing against the radio to get a dumb sappy holiday song to play to accompany them.]

[He grins crookedly at the man, a single brow raised.]
Heated, or 'heated' 'cause you can do one, the other, or both at the same time.

[He playfully noses at the reaper's cheek, gently kissing him with a quiet laugh.]
Yeah yeah, and it'd be a crime to burn good chocolate right?

Exactly. Be a real shame if I had to say so.

[The kitchen smells of chocolate now and it's warm and James is there; frankly he couldn't ask for more.]
Good. You've got some talent in the kitchen, after all.

'd be honored to be considered as cool as you.
