[Bruno lets a breath go slowly through his nose, unaware he was even holding it in the first place, and relaxes a little more in Polnareff's lap when he has his answer. He's uncertain. Not anxious or afraid, but uncertain as to whether or not this is really the right thing. He knows he won't have his answer to that question probably anytime soon if he ever does, but a little time to let the dust settle... That's all he wants. To let things settle and to be here in the moment.]
[But then Polnareff asks about something that's beyond that moment and Bruno gets about halfway through starting to tense when there are fingers running along his neck. He settles again, but remains quiet for a long moment once he breaks eye contact with Polnareff. He can feel his heart pounding in his ears without having to reach for his pulse, so he doesn't. He has the arguments, doesn't he? But... He doesn't want to make them. He doesn't want to say them or listen to them. He just wants to be.]
More than just for today, [he echoes, quietly, looking at Polnareff again.]
[And then he kisses Polnareff again. It's sweeter and gentler than the last, but it's also a promise. More than just for today. He can do that.]
