It was over far too quickly, Seimei pulling away before Kaoru was quite prepared to let him go. He held onto a handful of Seimei's robes like a child - the effect only compounded by the way he too was rubbing at his face, trying to chase the tears away. Delighted tears to be sure, and Seimei's exclamation, his laugh, just hearing his voice made the tears flow all the more, made him want to fling himself at Seimei all over again. Keeping himself in check is difficult when he wants to kiss all the breath out of this man - and right in front of the priests surrounding them, too.

It would certainly put any assumptions of their relationship quite swiftly to rest, and he was sure Seimei would forgive him for it if he did. But Kaoru's control was stronger.

"Can we go somewhere?"

He didn't mind sounding a little impetuous through his tears, though, nor using that hold on Seimei's robes to give him a little tug.
