[It's subtle, but he feels Eren's energy vibrating back at him, less light and warm but just as intense. The tightness of his grip, the little kiss to his temple, the softness of his voice. A forbidden word goes through his mind, but he doesn't dare utter it.]
Uh huh.
[He closes his eyes and sighs softly, nestling himself further in the crook of Eren's neck, rubbing his back. He could live here, bathed in oxytocin. He doesn't let go- Eren might have to push him away to get him off now.]
Only a bit...[Eren's voice is quiet, his own way of making it soft when he's not all that practiced at it. He trails his nails up and down Finnick's spine, still just barely swaying with him there in the doorway.]
I'll have to clean up after you now too. I didn't think that through...
I'll take care of it! I just wasn't thinking because I wanted to hug you so bad. I'll go outside to get the sand off, then I'll shower and put laundry in.
[He smiles, drifting back toward the door a little, but still feeling like he's magnetically attached to Eren.]
[Finnick laughs, again, beginning to feel like some kind of schoolgirl, as he throws his arms around Eren's neck again, leaning into him lazily. This time, he kisses his lips, long and firm, but not deep or lustful.
Aside from Annie, this is the most romantic and close he's ever been with someone without having sex. It's different, in a good way. It proves without a doubt that neither of them are using the other for that purpose, and that's something Finnick is very relieved not to have to worry about. Despite how hypersexual Finnick can be, he doesn't feel that way with Eren. He's very attracted to him, but he feels like he could wait a long time for sex, maybe even forever.]
[Eren's in no rush himself. He enjoys sex enough, though he's never had much time for it. He's never had sex with someone he actually felt a romantic connection with. In a way, that idea itself is entirely foreign to Eren - something he's only ever imagined. When he thinks about it with Finnick, he feels...overwhelmed, somehow.
[He'll wait, and it eventually, it will happen. He has no interest in forcing the issue.
[He kisses Finnick, another first kiss after a long parting (though they're getting shorter and shorter). These might be the best sort.
[God. Since when does he think that way? Finnick awakens something young and excited in him, even if he can't fully experience the emotion as it should be. He doesn't mind it...
[They part.]
Alright. I'll finish up. [Shouldn't take long. While Finnick's rinsing off outside, he will indeed get the sand out of the walkway, because...he's the sort that only trusts himself to do it correctly. And he did just clean this whole place...]
[He briefly looks into Eren's piercing, beautiful eyes. They don't look so dead, these days. There's something in them. He wouldn't call it happiness exactly, but something, a little hint of energy.
Finnick cleans up like a good boy, careful not to track anything in, showering and laundering as promised. His apartment looks... Spotless. Though he didn't say anything, he was a little worried about his vast shell collection being moved around or culled, but not a thing is out of place. He has no idea how Eren made it look so much better in such a short time.
Looks like he'll have to cook them dinner as a thank-you. The menu is... Fish, obviously.]

Am I interrupting your cleaning?
[His voice is muffled by Eren's shirt.]
