[......He lets out a 'ssssssssss' through his teeth as he tries to keep his smile.]

See, that's not the right answer. I ain't going to sleep until I hear it.

[Maya rolls her eyes, but for all that grinning she just can't look annoyed. So she presses her lips to his quickly before answering--]

You, Dandy.

[adandyinspace]

Heh...

[It's so simple, and maybe even a little selfish, but he can't help but brighten when she says his name. Hearing it in that voice... When he thinks about it, three months doesn't even seem like that long, but...when you aren't expecting someone to come back, three months feels like forever...

He didn't hear that in forever.

Maybe it's just because he's too tired to look obnoxious right now, but there's a rare softness in his eyes that he can't make go away even if he tried. He didn't think in a million years he'd get so lucky as to see her again, some people never get people back at all, how'd the stars align in his favor like this? What made you come back, Maya Fey?]

I never even got to tell you how much I love you...

[And then he collapses, flopping suddenly into his mattress, a loud snore coming from his mouth that now hangs agape.

He...he was really tired.]

[Maya really is fond of that look-- the way his eyes show just how soft his heart is. It's a melting-in-your-hand-like-chocolate look, just as sweet, and with the glow of his bioluminescence it just reminds her of fireflies. She's so distracted by that look that for a moment it seems she doesn't register what he's said.

Of course, while he dives into snoozeland, the gears in Maya's mind turn to put together the sounds she'd just heard into something intelligible.

And understandable.

Unmistakable.

And suddenly her eyes are big and wide, though for a second she doesnt move an inch, taking in the fact he's just fallen asleep.



That just happened.]

[missleadingquestions]

I-- what?

[Maya props herself up on both palms, looking down at Dandy and hearing the snkre of an answer to her question. Her brows fall-- she knows what she heard, she doesn't need to ask, but her heart is still thumping in her ears and her stomach still tied up in knots.

She hasn't even so much as heard a family member tell her they love her, besides Pearl, in an achingly long time.

But Dandy isnt going to answer her and she knows this, so rather than fight it any longer Maya sighs and lays her cheek on Dandy's chest, adjusting to curl up against him. Once she's comfortable she watches the rise and fall of his chest for a few moments, leans up to kiss the bottom of his jaw, and rests her head back down.]

[adandyinspace]

[She's right, she isn't going to get an answer, not a verbal one, anyway. Dandy's way too beat to wake himself back up again, and he'll probably kick himself in the morning for it because how could he NOT spend the whole night up with her?!

Instead, his body just starts to act on its own, his arms instinctively wrapping around her when he feels her on his chest. Finally, after all this time, they get something REAL to wrap around. It must've been a sensation his body was craving, there's no other way to explain just how relaxed it makes him. Just the two of them basking in each other's literal glow, who else would he get something like that with? Even the obnoxious snoring dies down once he's comfortable enough.

The rest of the night plays out peaceful, at least for him, as he holds onto her close and occasionally finds himself pressing his lips against any part of her that he can. Welcome home, Maya.]
