[A sigh and suddenly there is a weight pressed into his side. Aether sidles up to him, assuming the contact will halt this trail of thought.] And bottling it up till you spill over is the 'better' option?

You are not a failure. I know it'll be hard to believe with so many expectations lined up and maybe things said... But you really aren't. Is it important to you? Providing them as much? Are you willing to have a big responsibility for that reason?

[A light pat on the arm as consolation.] Why are you foolish? You mentioned something expected.. I am not sure what you are stressing yourself out over. [Slipping his hand back into chongyun's and giving a light squeeze.]

Would you even want kids? Isn't good to do things out of obligation. It would do no good for you or the child— wait. [Two birds knocked down with the same stone? Oh he averts his gaze.] Shhh. You might actually summon an archon.

As long as you aren't uncomfortable!! And yeah. I expect as much– oh are you alright? You look like you wanted to try matching a strawberry in color today. [He teases, hands already cupping their face and reeling back in the attention he lost.] Huh? No..! You do not.

I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. [It came out a little hush. His brows pinched together with worry. It was overstepping— what he said before.] For the better. It isn't anything special— er... No. It is special in some sense. Being close with someone like that.

ᅠ hm... kissing very loudly! ᅠ

why do men get cuter when they're shy?? like come here let me ruin your life 😌

ᅠ let's change that! ᅠ

Oh hush. I understood what you actually meant. And no! Not uncomfortable in the slightest. [A hum as he continues their little trek. To the seating place at the gazebo.] I'm more or less in the between of it. I know enough, but not a lot and I lack the experience.
