[well, okay, since he's being hidden from view he will just cry, then. he just clings for a bit, hiccup-crying until he wears himself out.
by the time he's finished, he's pretty much just boneless against emet and vax both. this weekend sucked, y'all, there's only so much a teen can take before they just wail on their parental figures for a bit and zone out tiredly.
he's smushed himself up against emet's side, but he reaches and takes vax's hand and pulls him closer. cuddle pile, now!!!
and with a worn out shiver-sigh, he mumbles:] I believe you.
[ he will take this tug without any resistance at all, unfolding from his spot and moving to take up his other side. frankly, there's more than enough space for them both because emet is huge, anyway? so.
he tilts his head to bonk it gently on top of bass's once they're settled, and lets the wing on the outside of their little pile wrap around to complete it. it's warm and safe and feathery in here. ] Love you, kid. Believe that, too.
[he lets them settle, comfortably. eases into this pile.
.......and is silent, at first, because he is emotionally constipated and has never told anyone he loves them so this is a difficult moment for him, he feels like he should and he does love bass, he thinks, but knowing it and saying it are two absolutely different things.
emet-selch ruffles bass's hair, while he internally has a debate about this.]
[thankfully, bass has enough experience with emet that this makes him laugh - it's kind of wet and snotty and gross but it's a laugh, and he pinches emet gently in the side.
but he's comfortable here, and while maybe bass is emotionally constipated about negative feelings, the positive ones he doesn't have as much of a struggle with. it feels easy to just respond.]
I love you both too. [he mumbles, soaking up the feeling.]
[ vax also laughs - at the exact same time as bass, a snicker that dissolves into laughter the minute bass retaliates with the pinch.
this is something they have in common, at least. unlike poor, tsundere emet, who is about to have to suffer a very long week of hanahaki. vax'ildan's amusement remains on his face, and he clears his throat. ]
What is it you said? [ to emet, in his most (terrible) proper accent: ] 'You're not the most objectionable company?'
[ this is very teasing. he will soothe the immediate ruffle of any metaphorical (or literal) feathers by just barely dislodging himself from the pile enough to steal a kiss from emet who is right there, playfully covering bass's face again with his wing to hide the peck, to get more of those snotty giggles and less of his abject misery.
though emet gets back a less teasing, ] Love you, big guy. Just to bring the whole circle 'round. [ gross. gay dads hours ]
[he is PINCHED AND CALLED OUT, nose wrinkling, feathers ruffling... but vax steals that kiss, and he allows it, letting him lean in. this is fine. hearing bass laugh again, that's the important part here.
--and then vax drops a love you on him, and he has No idea what to do with this. his feathers ghibli poof, eyes wide, the shadow in his form stretching to cover him, as if that might hide him.
even so... it ripples iridiscent, an oilspill of soft pink-orange, warmer orange, yellow against the black. a little hint of marine blue.
[ so many colors... the expression on emet's face.... vax's smile cracks wider and he just looks very, very pleased, and very, very fond as he lifts his wing off of bass's face so he can witness this reaction. ]

he doesn't look directly at bass, with the way he's hiding his face, but:]
In quite some few ways, as well. We shall not be leaving here until matters have been set right.
[until he's regained everything he lost, until whatever is happening here can be stopped.]

vax does, in fact, get more giggles, and a loud groooosss that he doesn't really mean. it makes him happy to know they're happy.]
Yeah. [he says, cheerfully, watching emet lose his entire mind.] Of course both of us.

Good translating, Bass. [ ♥ ♥ ]
