"Ahhh... The sweet solitude away from civilization," Reno sighs with delight. "I cleared the area out of monsters before bringing you here, so we needn't worry about anyone or anything interrupting our peace."
"Very delightful, yes... Were one to ignore this ceaseless downpour of rain, that is," Severian deadpans. "I did not take you for the type to spirit away his conquests out in such horrid weather conditions."
Reno laughs heartily to that.
"They say that like attracts like, sweetheart," Reno says with a smile, "And don't act like you didn't accept the offer willingly. Why, I only had to ask once this time for you to abandon that old desk of yours!"
"And as a result, I will no doubt return later and find said desk buried under a pile of overdue work," Severian Scoffs. "Remind me again why I ever thought this decision to be wise."
Reno hums in contemplation, though his expression clearly conveys the mischief intended.
"Could it perhaps be..." Reno says, and leans closer to Severian's ear as his voice drops then to the softest of whispers, "That you wanted to spend time alone with me that much?"
Severian shudders from the way Reno's breath gently tickles against his ear. "Shameless brat..." he murmurs.
Reno isn't wrong, per se... but Severian still isn't used to being open about such sentiments. Outside of the usual guild halls, Severian finds that he is out of his element, and it reminds him of just how much of Reno's life he does not have access to.
It's just how things are, of course. They are blessed to have their worlds overlap to this extent at all, lest they would never have met in the first place. It's been... nice, really, to find that this unintended change in his life didn't impact his love for her in any capacity. If anything, sharing the weight of losing her with someone he's this close to has been the relief Severian never knew he needed.
Perhaps in another life, Severian could have played a bigger role in Reno's life.
His thoughts come to a halt at the sensation of lips against his cheek. He looks up, and comes face to face with Reno grinning at him.
"I finally have you in my arms all for myself, and yet you won't even so much as look at me," Reno teases. "Might I inquire as to what work related matter occupies your mind to the point of ignoring me?"
It's all in jest, Reno's tone tells that much. His hand moves to gently grab a hold of Severian's own one, pulling it close to his lips to pepper light but lingering kisses over each knuckle. Severian chuckles.
"Spoiled, are we?" he says, and moves to hold Reno's hand properly, lacing their fingers together and squeezing firmly. "Worry not, my dear little assistant, for I am not thinking about anything related to work."
"Oh? Now that is unusual," Reno says, "What else could it be that haunt your thoughts, then?"
Their bodies press closer, and in the blink of an eye Reno's lips linger against Severian's, warming them with soft breaths that starkly contrasts the rains' biting chill. Severian feels that same warmth bloom on his cheeks, and he would chastise Reno for acting oblivious if he wasn't so hopelessly fond.
"Pah... You out of anyone ought to know the answer to that already."
"And what if I want to hear it from your lips?"
"Incorrigible brat..."
