[Liem submits so easily to the press of Set’s weight against him and the wandering of his mouth over his face. Tension leaves him like a long-held breath, relieving some urgent vigilance kept close all throughout his waking hours and even into the shallow sleep that passes for his nightly rest. Perhaps it is no wonder he often seems a little weary, given how foreign relaxation truly is to him — but now, in the desert god’s company, he falls into, if not true ease, then some close approximation of it. Without conscious thought, the mantle of his wariness slips from him, set aside for the night.
And still, even in the midst of his soft-edged contentment, even in the privacy of his home, the words Set slips to him in the privacy of his mind still make him flush; because they are true, and because acknowledging his want makes him feel more naked than he already is in his state of half-dress. Liem’s fingers curl in Set’s hair, a little covetously, and he tips his face against the crook of neck and shoulder, pressing a cool, lingering kiss there to disguise his sudden embarrassment. His brows frown a little over Set’s shoulder.]
You would come for me?
[This seems a greedy thought to entertain; the idea that Set might speed to his aid, if only he were to ask. Though gods know, Liem is terrible at asking.]
