The little pat gets a huff of laughter that tugs Arthur's dazed smile wider, and when Jedao cuddles into him he rolls gently towards him, lifting a hand to tilt his chin up and kiss him on the lips, chaste and sweet and utterly adoring.
Then his grin widens, and his next kiss has a bit of teeth because he can't close his mouth properly for it. "Happy birthday, Jedao."
There's a part of his brain that wants to pivot to panic at the first excuse; Arthur doesn't actually want him, this was a nice birthday gesture that just got...extremely out of hand somehow. Tomorrow, not-birthday, it'll be over.
Jedao has spent enough time trying to process his shit that he is at least aware that this voice isn't a rational interpretation of events. It doesn't match Arthur's actions; it doesn't match his character. And his brain is still bathed in enough endorphins that even the automatic adrenaline kick of reflexive fear is relatively low volume. He mentally closes the door again on the babble of anxiety, picturing it as an overzealous door-to-door salesman. Yes, I know you're trying to help, but no thank you.
"I love you," Jedao murmurs, and his voice comes out distinctly raspier than normal.
Arthur's response is a flicker of his eyes widening, and then he lifts a hand to grip Jedao's jaw and kiss him deeper, only pulling back when he needs the breath and only just enough to do so, so his lips practically shape the whispered words against Jedao's mouth.
Jedao shivers into it, leaning easily into Arthur's hand, all his limbs loose and easy. He's not nearly hard again yet, but - he thinks maybe he could be, between how deliciously sensitized his lips feel, and the stark erotic contrast of being completely naked, half in Arthur's lap, while Arthur is still clothed.
"Now what?" Jedao asks, looking hopeful and a little dazed, his hair still mussed from Arthur pulling it.
"Well-" it comes out as a soft grunt as he pushes himself to sit upright, but not moving out from under Jedao. "I should probably put this to soak sooner rather than later." He plucks idly at his utterly filthy vest, but makes no actual effort to take it off.
He wraps his arm around Jedao, though, pulling him in to cuddle against his neck. "But right now, I think I'd just like to savour the moment with you."
"I do." With another press of a kiss to Jedao's forehead.
But the question makes him blink, faltering with a slightly choked, "Oh-, e-er--"
It's kind of funny, how thinking about the domesticity of it sets off a blush that leaves his face very nearly darker than when he was literally being sucked off.
But he gives Jedao a little squeeze, and he's still smiling in that crooked little way Jedao knows is truly sincere. "We might be a little bit crowded in mine, what with the single mattress?"
