I could be, but I would not waste so much time on such a lie. Instead, I would much prefer to be enjoying myself with a man I find truly charming.

So you must be genuinely enjoying yourself. [He hums contentedly.] Can I come over?

You very well may, if you like.

[Instead of responding in words, he responds with actions. Albus will find him sitting in a chair at a table, his eyes closed as he lets himself take in the feel of...Albus. The Wizard's presence is everywhere.]

[When he sees Gellert, he smiles, walking up to him and gently palming his face, leaning over him to look down on him from behind.]

You seem deep in thought.

[His eyes open slowly and he smiles, tipping his head back.]

I like the places you live. I can never remember why anything worries me.

[He leans forward to press a quick kiss to Gellert's mouth, smiling down at him when he pulls away.]

I like my home to be comfortable. A place to feel safe retreating to at the end of the day. [Sweeping his thumb over Gellert's face, he adds:] For me, and for you as well.

[The soft pressure brings color to his cheeks and he reaches up to touch some part of the other man.]

You've yet to realize that any place you rest - for even a night - qualifies as home to me.

[His smile brightens a little at that, his gaze fond and warm. Even now, he is still bowled over by the love he receives from this Gellert upon his return, of how easily and openly affectionate he is and how very much it means to him.]

In that, welcome home, love.

[Being taken away from the problems of their world and being accepted by Albus has done wonders for him. Gellert has realized how deep their bond goes and how long it will last. Forever.

Of course he wants to be around him. With him.]

You are delightfully mad. [He rises and presses against the other man, closing his eyes.]

[As Gellert presses up to him, his arms circle him easily, pulling them into a gentle, easy embrace.]

You're right, I am. But I am mad for you, in turn, so I hope you do not mind it.

[He chuckles and loops his arms around Albus in return.]

I could never mind. I benefit from that madness.

...and I hope you do too.

That I do. [He smiles and kisses Gellert's jaw.] You are quite the pleasurable company, you know.

I do try most of the time. [He lays a hand on Albus's chest.] You are the company I favor above all others.

[He hums at the touch before leaning closer to kiss Gellert's mouth.]

And yours is the same for me, love. I find you delightful.

[He tilts his head to deepen the contact greedily.]

My code name could be "Lemon-Drop".

[That earns him a long, loud belly laugh, with Albus leaning into Gellert's neck as he does.]

You are a fiend, but I like it.

[Gellert beams, unapologetic. His fingers smooth over the back of Albus's neck.]

You can tell your colleagues how much you love your daily Lemon-Drop.

Though that makes it sound like something dirty, doesn't it?

[He chuckles, kissing Gellert's neck gleefully.]

That it certainly does. Though I do like how you taste, I admit.

[He shudders and snickers, tilting his head.]

If I am sour and sweet, I understand your draw!

[He sucks gently at Gellert's skin, raising a mark.]

Ah, you are certainly very sweet right now. And sour at other times.

[The sensation makes him groan.]

I am only sour when I don't get my way. Right now, you are doing wonderful things for me.

Ah, then I will have to continue. [He chuckles before tilting his mouth higher, sucking gently at his jaw, his fingers curling at Gellert's sides.]

All you have to do is be Albus. [Tilting into the contact, he gasps at the heat of the other's mouth.]

Then that is what I will do.

[He sucks a mark into the skin before pulling away, looking at Gellert with lidded eyes.]

Shall I make you tea? Fetch you water? I am realizing what a rude host I am, to partake of you when you come to my home without offering you a drink.
