Really, how could he want more than anything like this? To feel so...complete? The view and surroundings may be beautiful, but the one in his arms is all he really wants to pay attention to.
But at her words, his heart also flutters, an uncharacteristic ripple of awkwardness and embarrassment making him glad she can't see him. Strange since he's said the same and more...but there's something about hearing them from her own mouth and when they have much more clarity in their thoughts that just...really sinks it all in. That it's not just general what if's or assumptions. It's all real. This is the path they're taking.
And he's happy for it.]
...Mm.
[There's a soft smile as his arms tighten around her, his face lowering to lightly nuzzle and kiss the side of her head before descending to her cheek so that he can see her better.]

His voice lowers as his lips brush against her skin.]
...I'll be looking forward to that one the most...
