"When? Who knows." Mot smirked playfully, kissing her forehead. She looked so meek like this. It was a side he wasn't all that used to seeing.
"Of course I do." Mot insisted, smiling down at her. "I love you."

Who knows.
Hel looked absolutely miserable at that answer. She couldn’t even respond to it. That’s what she got for not listening and thinking things through clearly.
Her breath hitched though and she stilled as he said I love you. The ghoul’s hands lowered more as she stared up at him, her lips parted a bit in surprise. “…Y-you…what?” Because maybe she was hearing things the first time.

Mot realized what he'd said sometime after the fact. It had kind of come out without him noticing. Now that Hel was asking him to clarify, he began to look nervous. "Uh.." Mot stammered, then started to turn red. "Um..." Even redder, perhaps some squirming. The cowboil's heart started drumming quickly in his chest.
"Well... y-you know I..wouldn't have promised that proposal earlier If I didn't so... I uh....I guess I ..." How had it been so easy to say earlier, and so difficult to say now?
It never really hit him until that moment, but he really did. He loved this ghoul.

Hel would have liked to argue that he didn’t promise anything, especially since he took it back, but that wasn’t what was occupying her mind at the moment. It was what he had just said. He loved her.
Even…after everything? Even after…what had happened just now? He loved her? “…You…guess you…?”

"Well.. n-no not guess. I mean, I meant what I said.." Mot fumbled over his words, meeting Hel's eyes bashfully, his pale skin glowing pink. He couldn't let this turn into another misunderstanding. "W-what I mean to say is.. yes, I do love you." Mot managed to finally say, feeling his face burn from under the skin. He'd never admitted something that made him feel so vulnerable.

Oddly enough, Hel’s tears had dried up again as she just sat there and watched Mot with this rapt fascination.
She remembered the last time he got this frazzled, and that was when he admitted to liking her. Damn. It felt like a life time ago, and it felt like they were different reapers back then. It’d only been quite a few Octobers now…but so much had happened in between them…A dark hand shakily reached out, hesitating for a moment before her knuckles brushed against his cheek, and she ended up gently cupping his face instead.

Mot stared back shyly as Hel seemed to process the information. What was wrong? What he said.. wasn't it a good thing? His insecurities started to eat at him again, and he started to wonder if what she wanted wasn't love at all.
Her hands reached his face, and Mot's shy and timid stare fell into a more comfortable one. No.. no she was looking at him differently. His eyes seemed to get lost in hers, and before he knew it, he was leaning closer. His hands rested on her shoulders, his eyes closed. Gently, he laid a kiss to her lips.

She held his face in her hands and just stared up at him. She felt the warmth on his hands on her shoulders and just watched as his face drew closer to hers. Her hands on his face held onto his cheeks a bit more firmly, and she sighed softly as his lips met hers. She felt overwhelmed. Love. Love that wasn’t from a family. Love from another being that didn’t have to love her, but did. Even after all the things she said and did, he still felt that way…
For a moment, Hel pressed her lips more firmly against his before she pulled back a bit. The ghoul paused and pressed her lips against the corner of his. Her thumbs brushed over his cheeks as she uttered against the corner of his mouth, “I love you, too.”

Mot couldn't help a big grin that spread over his face hearing her words. His heart fluttered, his stomach did flips and seemed to be hosting a circus of moths. She loved him back! Despite being a weak coward most of his life, she still saw something in him that he couldn't.
Mot laughed, still grinning ear to ear. "If it's not too much trouble, can I still have that ring? I reaaaaally like it."

Then he grinned, and everything felt better. Not like, right as rain better, but, better. They felt better.
The reaper brushed her lips against his chin, pausing as he asked for her ring again. Now, maybe Hel was learning a lesson here. Before all of this, she would have snapped, ‘Oh, you want the ring now that you slammed on the dresser earlier in disgust? Ya, alright then.’ But now, now she just felt a bit humbled that he really did want it, and that before he really was just mad and well, she did and said things too that she didn’t exactly mean when she was upset as well.
“..Y..ya…” The ghoul replied softly and she leaned to pluck it off of the night stand. “…I…I really do want you to have it…” She murmured, and took his hand once more and pressed it into his palm.

Mot wanted so badly to tease the ghoul. It was rare for her to be so meek. But he'd risk getting her mad again, and he really didn't want to do that.
Mot smiled as she pressed the ring back into his palm, closing his fingers over it tightly. "Thank you. I'll treasure it." He murmured warmly. It was a wonderful gift. A ring that protects. He'd have to get her a really nice present in return.
He grinned again and leaned forward, pressing a kiss to her tear stained cheek. "You've had a long day. Did you want to sleep?"

“You are welcome…” She replied, feeling the moths flutter as he leaned in to kiss her cheek. So affectionate he was now…she was not complaining.
“…Ah, Mot, that is like asking a scareling if he or she wants candy. The answer will always be yes.” Her lips pulled upwards briefly before the smile fell, and she paused. “…A…are you still going back to you room?” She seemed miserable at that thought.

Mot chuckled at her remark, and then shook his head. "No. Honestly I've been exhausted since before you came down the hall." He replied. "I'll stay with you tonight." And perhaps the next night too.
Mot lifted a finger up for her to wait, and walked off to go to his room. He was not going to sleep in jeans. That was just uncomfortable.
He returned shortly after in his pajamas, FooFoo biting onto his pant leg despite his best efforts to leave him alone. FooFoo seemed like he wanted to visit Vili and Heimdal. Heimdal was now in Mot's palm, since he had to release him from his pouch.
"Sorry, brought a straggler." He said regarding his Dreamdust Foxfire, handing over Heimdal to Hel.

Relief. He was staying. The ghoul nodded her head, watching as he went off, and while he was gone, she went to wash her face again.
The reaper had climbed back onto her bed once Mot came back in, blinking as FooFoo was attached to his pant leg, but brightened a bit as he held out Heimdall to her. The ghoul scooped up her little rainbow poof, making a kissy face at him as he yipped excitedly and licked her chin. Luckily Hel was able to refrain from making ‘baby talk’ at him, as much as she wanted to. Mot was there. She couldn’t do that with him there.
It was funny, actually, for after Heimdall laid down some kisses, he wiggled out of Hel’s hands and rolled right down the front of her shirt. Yup. Heimdall knew what was up, and he was safest there, regardless. “…Ah…I do not mind Foo Foo at all…I just…do not know if Vili is around…he wanders…a lot. Warrior and journey-man spirit, that one.”

Mot laughed and managed to get FooFoo off of his pants, letting the poof bounce around contentedly. "That's okay. FooFoo's the same way. Though I can't stop him from bringing home stolden goods." Honestly. If Mot wasn't such an honest person he'd keep it all and get rich. However, he simply would sigh and bring things to lost and found. The foxfire padded around the room a bit, while Mot moved to turn off the lights.
Mot climbed in to bed after Hel, pulling the blankets over them both. He wasted no time in pulling his ghoulfriend closer, despite knowing she had a baby foxfire making a cozy bed in her bosom. He wrapped his arm around her, resting his hand on her hair.
Safe in his arms. She wasn't going anywhere tonight.
