[Taking his hand, thoughts rush quickly as he cannot help but ponder about what ifs and possible outcomes. Mainly if someone were to ask him weither he would find love, he would reply that as much as he would, his duty to Ishgard and her people came before his own needs. It did not matter even if there were possible fleeting moments between others, he could not abandon his countrymen when they needed guidance the most. And having that weight lifted from his shoulders in this world, he can live almost like a normal person.
Minus the godhood.
But strange enough, he did find someone he could openly love and not worry what would happen to them; Ishgard had a tendency of having people marry but end up having affairs on the side and that has worried him a lot. But when he's with Leo, he's at ease. He's not Lord Commander or Chancellor or whatever title he's been given, he's simply Aymeric. He's been to Leo's temple many times before but this is the first where they're more than likely alone and...well, you get the point. He doesn't need to speak right now as they go inside, just lightly squeezes Leo's hand.]
[Leo knew that one day he'd probably have to marry for stability if nothing else, so he never expected to fall in love with someone like this. He never expected the rush of emotion and longing, the joy at simply being around him, the urge to literally run away from his responsibilities to go with Aymeric wherever he might end up.
It was strange. Good thing Leo was used to strange.
They arrive at his temple and head inside, the building dark and quiet.]
Mind your feet, someone left carved ravens at a shrine the other day and it's started a pattern. I don't know if anymore have shown up here while I was out.
[While Leo may lean, Aymeric pulls him in enough to let his tiptoes touch the floor and chuckles.]
Always with you.
[He presses his lips onto his dear one's, that fire igniting in the deep of his stomach again as he let himself pry open Leo's mouth and letting his tongue dance along with the other man's. He can say it all he wants but his actions say it much louder: "I need you."]
[Leo's no virgin. He's had sex before. He knows how seduction works.
And yet he still feels flustered and flushed and strangely shy when Aymeric kisses him like that in the dark of his temple's main room. It doesn't help that he's so much taller than Leo and safe and it's easy to stop being the capable young man he was made into and just be Leo.
He wraps his arms around Aymeric's neck, trying to pull him down just a bit so he's not straining so hard to kiss him.]
[Between Leo trying to pull him down to Aymeric lifting him up, it felt a bit awkward but only due to his clothing. Yukatas are hard to move in at times as Aymeric is learning right now when he decides to go further and carry Leo. Shut up, it's a good idea to him. He's been to the temple a few times before so he's pretty sure he knows where Leo's room is even if it's darker than last time.]
[It's called trying to blend in. Appreciating cultures and stuff!]
Oh my dearest one.
[His tone is hushed and low but it's dipped down half an octave, nuzzling the side of his neck and kissing the exposed skin. Along with a small nip for good measure as he moved on to hopefully what was Leo's chambers. It looked like it even with the darkness.]
[Leo steals another kiss and retreats into his bedroom. He grabs the bottle out of his ensuite bathroom, where he'd left it after buying it because he was just too embarrassed to admit to having it just yet, and hurries to where Aymeric has hopefully found the room Leo meant. It's large with a huge glass roof for watching the stars or the moon. There's a large sofa on the sides or a mattress Leo had specifically ordered set into the floor for more comfortable viewing.
[While he goes and grabs whatever he needs, Aymeric takes in the atmosphere of the room. It feels simple enough although he does ponder about why there is a mattress set in the floor. If it was Niles who owned the temple he'd understand it but Leo may have had more innocent reasons at the time.
Finding himself sink into the soft cushioning, he can't help but feel a bit more restricted with the yukata on. But when Leo does return, he will see that it's looser than before, exposing more of the man's shoulders as he is transfixed on looking up at the moon.]
[He does see this, and he decides to take advantage of it. He slips his shoes off before joining Aymeric, kneeling behind him to ease the yukata off a little more and press kisses to his shoulder. The bottle of lubricant lies on the bed next to him, forgotten for now.]
[It's a pleasant reminder as the cloth slips off Aymeric's shoulders as he tilts his head back for Leo to get a better angle for those sweet addicting kisses. One hand comes around to one of the other's, gently guiding him down to the obi and silently asking if he could remove it.
By the Fury, he can feel himself getting hotter by the moment as he couldn't help but moan out his dear one's name just for pure need. He knew he wanted this but he didn't realize how badly he's craving this kind of attention tonight.]
[What? It's not the first time he's seen him shirtless after all but probably the first after he's admitted about his past.]
And you must be getting warm in those garments.
[He might be tugging at the tail ends of Leo's shirt and pulling him down with him. But it's Aymeric on his back instead, letting Leo look down at him.]
[That was the worst line ever, but Leo doubts Aymeric cares. He follows Aymeric's guidance, pulling away for a moment to tug his shirt off before settling on his knees to admire his gorgeous beloved.]
[Well it might not be the best pick up line but it did manage to make Aymeric start laughing. And not chuckles either; the kind that come from the belly, deep and with mirth.]
Can you blame us? Tis a much sweeter result to take our time rather than rush.
[It would be strange to invoke Halone's name right now so Aymeric smiles and starts to lift up that pesky shirt. He can at least move more thanks to the yukata being around his waist more loosely.]
let's do this. or attempt to idk

Leo makes a soft noise, reaching around behind him to indicate that his room is further away from the front. More privacy.]
Or there's the moon viewing room...?
no subject
Hmmm, there is something romantic about seeing the light luminating your face.

It's up the stairs to the left. If you set me down, I'll get what we might need from my room and meet you there?
