Why not? [ He wibbles, taking advantage of the fact that he can now give Leon puppy dog eyes (something that he has grown rather good at since his arrival at Holly Heights). Really, Chaltier suggested those things only because he wants the young master to have some fun! ]
[Sorry, Chal. He is immune to such tactics. Puppy dog eyes will never work on him. However it is because he is talking to Chal that he can be persuaded. He will only agree for Chal's sake and nothing more since the Swordian seems to have his heart set and he can't really make a good argument against those suggestions. At least not one that Chal would consider valid.]
[And for that matter so cheerful about it (and yet he felt it was slightly contagious hearing Chal's tone). He really is only doing this for Chal. It's not like he cares for sweets or anything. Maybe a movie would be fine but they weren't that interesting.]
And we're only do one of those things so I suggest you pick carefully.
C-Chal. That wasn't something you mentioned before.
[He remembers the things Chal listed off before and he clearly recalls that there was no mention of hugging. Unless it was what Chal failed to mention due to him interrupting.]
[But that's not something he ever imagined. Does he have to? He would disappoint Chal at this rate wouldn't he. He looks it away finding it difficult to his approval. Why does it have to be that, but he does recall holding Chal close before. Things were quite different then. He took a deep breath.]
Just once. I think I can allow it. [But he gives hints towards his feelings the moment he crosses his arms. He is tense as he awaits the embrace.]
[ Small steps, Young Master! Besides, this means a lot to Chaltier, and he patiently awaits Leon's response whilst trying (failing, rather) to subdue his hopeful anticipation. ]
[ Never in his wildest dreams did Chaltier expect that he would actually be able to physically hold the young master like this! He has imagined this day several times, of course, but never did he think that it would actually happen...! ]
The young master is so warm in his arms! Ah, but he is so skinny... Is he properly taking care of himself? Oh, but his hair is soft and he smells nice, too, and, and—! ]
[Even if it's Chal he can't help to wish for it to be over quickly. Only it seems he has much to wait. He watches as the swordian prepares to deliver the embrace. Could it be anymore awkward?]
[Apparently it can! At least that's the feeling he got seeing Chal's expression as he got closer.
The movement is slight but he does pull away. However it isn't enough for a person to notice. Chal is overly eager over this whole affair but then he has an unusual aversion towards it. If anything his feelings have not changed as his arms remain crossed. He won't say anything but the seconds begin to tick away.]
[ Alas, Chaltier is much too caught up in the moment; to him, one that encompasses sixteen years worth of regret, reminding him how his incomplete presence was incapable of providing what Leon had needed most. Yet, it is in their brief connection that the Swordian can feel his young master's heart beating against his chest, and Chaltier subconsciously slows his breathing to match his rhythm of inhale, exhale. Despite the myriad of emotions overcoming him, he is genuinely filled with bliss, for unlike before, instead of cold steel and Lens, he can now offer flesh and blood into this hug, a feeling perhaps taken for granted by most, but truly indescribable to him.
And then, as time passes, he allows his arms to loosen, to fall once more to their place by his sides, but not before a quick brush against his face to remove any trace of tears that may or may not have slid down his cheeks. ]
[It feels unbearable. It has gone on for far too long. It's constricting. He closes his eyes tight trying endure it for a little longer. This should not be so difficult and yet he can't imagine growing accustomed to this. However because it is Chal and he reminds himself of that is that he remains still. The length of the embrace does allow for what he did not imagine. It begins to feel more normal and as he thinks of the time when he once sought this kind of comfort he can only think his initial thoughts were ridiculous.
This doesn't mean he will be hugging anyone left and right willy-nilly. Not even Chal.
