[What's so strange about appreciating your buff, tiny boyfriend!!!!!!!!!!]
I'm enjoying it! Trust me.
[He appreciates it a lot.]
It's not hard carrying me, right?
[Not yet.]

Wow, so your age means I'm not heavy to you?
[Xiao... you're killing me... me, personally...]
[Xiao... you're killing me... me, personally...]
[Oh, Xiao...]
What, a guy's not allowed to want to be swept off his feet?
[He grins, pressing a quick kiss to Xiao's cheek.]
I just like knowing how strong you are, and thinking of what you could do with that strength~

[Heh. The blush is cute, truth be told.]
Well, I wouldn't say "no" to you showing off a bit more...
Well, I wouldn't say "no" to you showing off a bit more...
[Well. Might as well be blunt.]
Do you think you could hold me up while we fuck?

[ He's going to need a spray bottle for Haruka i swear to god.
But he ends up giving in, anyway, and he puts Haruka back down onto the ground. Then, he guides him towards the wall, just like last time, and once Haruka's back is against it, Xiao will corner him there. ]
We'll just have to find out.
[ Xiao cups Haruka's cheek before he leans in to kiss him. ]

[Joshua, strike him down.]
Do you just want to know what a tsundere is?
Do you just want to know what a tsundere is?
I am curious, but no.
[ He folds his arms over his chest. His cheeks turn pink. ]
I didn't realize that the ring was a sign of engagement. But...I don't need things like that to prove that I'm committed.
[ As much as he can be, all things considered. ]
If it's important to you, though, I'll keep it in mind.

[Help. Xiao is always so… sincere and honest, and even though he’s been like this for their entire stay here, it keeps tripping him up.]
I… don’t think it is…? I mean, marriage is a big deal, but I don’t-
[…]
It’s just a pretty big deal, where I’m from, and I never… thought it would be on the table for me, so…

[ Oh.
Xiao understands marriage, and he's afraid to promise Haruka that he can offer that. Chances are, he probably can't, under their circumstances. The thought is disappointing, but he'd braced himself for the consequences that would come with being with a mortal.
He reaches for Haruka's hand and considers something.
He pulls out the ring from Wang Lu again. ]
I don't know if marriage is something I will ever be able to partake in.
[ Given who he is, what he is. But...he slips the ring on Haruka's ring finger -- the right hand, this time. ]
Even so, I've been trying to think of something that I could give to you, as a way to remember...us. I suppose Wang Lu did the work for me, in the end.
[ He holds Haruka's hand in both of his, curls his fingers around the other's palm. ]
Let this be a symbol of the promise I made to you. It may not be the same as...what Wang Lu was trying to get me to do, but I hope it still has meaning.

[Haruka is quiet for a long, long moment. It’s not that he’s upset - far from it, even if he can feel his eyes burn with unshed tears. He’s happy, which after the past few days is a complete shock, but…
It’s not an engagement, or anything close, and it’s not a promise that they’ll be together, but… it’s still a precious memento, even if Haruka knows the reality is they won’t have a happy, tidy fairy tale ending. It’s still something that makes his heart feel full and everything seem just a little bit brighter, though.
So it takes it a moment to process everything, but he stills smiles, twisting the ring on his finger to get a better look at that stupid little crab, and he laughs softly.
They’re never going to hear the end of this.]
I love it. I’m still holding you to that promise, you know? Or else I’m going to find my way to you and I’m going to kick your ass.

[ Xiao's nervous, trying to gauge how Haruka will react -- but when he laughs, Xiao can't help but smile. He's glad to see that Haruka took it well, despite the bittersweet meaning behind it.
Xiao steps forward and takes Haruka's hands in his own again. He gives them a squeeze as he looks up at his partner, and his expression is calm. Happy. ]
I'll allow it, if it happens. Just once.
[ Haruka gets a free punch. How generous. ]
What should I know about your world, when I arrive?

[He’ll even be nice and he won’t even punch Xiao in the dick like he did to Billy!
Now, at the question about his world…]
It’s way more technologically advanced then this place. And there’s a ton of people in the city, so it’s really crowded and really noisy… Oh, but it’s not as crowded where my grandmother lives! There’s also a lot of nice places to eat, and cool arcades…
I… I don’t know if you’ll like it in my world, but I’d really like to show you everything I can…

[ He's quiet as Haruka speaks, tries to picture what he's describing. He's picturing something incredibly different, but he's got the gist of it, now that he knows more modern technology and what arcades are.
When Haruka trails off, Xiao reassures him with a nod. ]
I'm interested in seeing it, anyway.
[ Even if he doesn't end up liking it, he still wants to see it and learn what he can. ]
If they have anything like that Street Fighter game, we can play it again. I would like to share more meals with you, too.
[ But really, he'd like to share a lot more than just that. ]

Oh, yeah! We have tons of games like that, and karaoke bars with even better music choices! We can do that again, if you want…
[He certainly wants to!
But he pauses, looking at Xiao shyly.]
…I’d really like to see your home too, though.
