[It's a less emphatic curse than it might usually be, but it's still sincere. Polnareff wrinkles his nose, pulling a face. Gross. That's most definitely a distracting fact, and Polnareff focuses on it as much as he can.]
And then what happens to it? It just-- what, wiggles around forever?
No, it's not like a starfish where it just grows another starfish. It'll die eventually. But if the octopus is caught by a predator, that can give it time to escape. It'll grow a new limb in a month or two, and be as good as new.
Or I'll just bully Jotaro into doing it. He'd definitely do it. He'd probably like it, because as much as he loves Kakyoin, the sea is definitely his first love.
[There. That settled, Polnareff pushes his fingers through Bruno's hair, smoothing it back from his face.]
That and a bunch of sexy shit, that's gonna be your big birthday, because I'll be honest, darling, I can't do any better than Bitches Brew.
[Listen, Bruno isn't going to argue about the importance of birthdays. Not with Polnareff. He knows how frustrated he gets when the others want to treat their birthdays like another day.]
[Bruno smiles a little, running his fingers through Polnareff's hair again a few times before he presses a kiss first to his forehead followed by one to his lips.]

[A beat. He thinks about this for a long few moments, then pats Bruno's cheek fondly and adds:]
That's what I'm getting you for your next birthday.
no subject
You'd have to touch it first to do that.

[True love!]

You know I don't expect something like that every time you give me something, but I'm sure I'll love whatever you give me next year just as much.

[He says it so firmly that it must be true.]
I'm not gonna top that for every gift, but birthday gifts have to be good. Especially for you.
no subject
Especially for me?

[He offers him half a smile, tired and quiet and sincere. On a night like tonight, his words mean more than they usually might as he says:]
You're the most important.
no subject
I love you, too.
