when they part, Zel withdraws only enough to guide one of Emery's arms free, cradling his hand lightly and kissing at his fingers and knuckles in a careful, reverent fashion.
after kissing his palm, he murmurs:] I...don't know if I said so. But. [meekly, he glances up through his bangs.] I-I'm in love with you. Emery. [and it's scary to say so, but then, he's the clown saying this on his knees here.]
