I will? [He's honestly not sure if he's likely to feel the need to do that, though. It's not like there's anything he minds saying in front of Dagny, really. Even the things he doesn't bring up, he usually doesn't mind mentioning, he just forgets to.] But probably not tonight. [He turns to steal a kiss, quick and gentle.]
Whenever. I'm just putting the offer out there.[Even if he's pretty sure Isaac won't take him up on it regardless. Maybe he'll just find a way to give them some one on one time without Isaac being aware of it. Staying in bed later than everyone else, or making up an excuse to leave them alone for part of the day.
He clenches his fist in Isaac's hair, holding him there as he kisses him back harder, still hoping to let Isaac know how much he loves him just as he is, feeling a little extra affectionate at the moment.]
[He's not entirely sure where the burst of affection comes from, but it's also not exactly the kind of thing he's inclined to question. It's not like it's unusual. And it's clearly welcome; there's a little, pleased noise as he leans into it, hands sliding up Dagny's back lightly, content to kiss him as much as he wants.]
[He kisses him back for a few more minutes, trying not to deepen it too much, they might make out in their kitchen pretty regularly but he is aware they have a guest currently, so he keeps it light, happily taking advantage of some of the alone time they do have.]
I love you. [Said against Isaac's lips when he pulls back slightly. Moving his hand down so he can wrap both arms around Isaac and give him a squeeze.] I love you, I love you, I love you. [He says, rocking them both side to side, being a little bit ridiculous in that Dagny way, the affection overflowing into excited energy.]
[It makes him laugh quietly, more joy than amusement, easily letting himself be moved.] I love you, too. [His voice is warm, soft and almost grateful, just glad to be there with him. He leans in to kiss Dagny again, lingering a little longer; he won't try to push it into anything more intense, just glad to stay there with him, stealing occasional kisses and mostly just enjoying the closeness.
He does actually hear the footsteps crossing the living room while he's kissing him eventually, he just doesn't seem to mind, not bothering to pull away even once Imogene's close enough to actually address them.]
"I should've brought a spray bottle, just in case." [She just sounds amused at having walked in on them, though, not actually bothered by it.]
[Dagny is, as always, pretty oblivious to anything aside from Isaac so he doesn't notice when Imogene returns. Thankfully he doesn't startle too hard, just a small flinch as his cheeks flush, not pulling away but turning so he can face Imogene again.]
We can always grab one later if you want. [If he's being honest, this isn't likely to be the last time she walks in on them.]
"It's okay, I'll try to make more noise next time." [She grins at him, reaching for her abandoned water bottle, damp hair braided back loosely.] "Or keep being stealthy and leave you alone, one or the other."
You're not that stealthy, I heard you. [Isaac does finally move when he replies, pressing one last kiss against Dagny's jaw before he lets go of him, though he doesn't step back far, just enough that he can turn towards his sister.] Any idea what you want to do tonight? [She shakes her head, and he glances at Dagny, like he's checking to see if he has any plans in mind.]
More noise would be appreciated. You don't have to leave us alone. We do this all the time. [And then he turns a bit more red.] A normal amount of the time...just, you don't have to go out of your way to let us..continue. [He finishes his sentence a little awkwardly. The kiss to his jaw only furthering his blush, making his ears turn red.
He clears his throat slightly, giving himself a moment while Isaac talks to Imogene, more composed when they look his way again.] Uh, pizza? I figured you'd be tired from the trip so I didn't plan too much for today.
"I'll do my best." [Imogene is very clearly trying to hide her laughter behind the bottle at the embarrassment. There will probably be a lot more teasing the more often she catches them, but for now she just flashes a thumbs up.]
"Pizza sounds good." [And keeping things easy while everyone adjusts sounds like a pretty good idea. She raises an eyebrow as she glances at Isaac, though, her tone deadpan but the expression clearly teasing.] "I didn't realize you were pushing off so much of the planning."
He's better at it. [Isaac shrugs, completely unashamed by the teasing, reaching for Dagny's hand and squeezing it gently.] I can put in an order.
Wait, do you normally plan things? [Head moving as he glances back and forth between Isaac and Imogene, somewhat getting in on the teasing since it is usually Dagny who plans most of their dates. Not that he really minds it much.]
"No, usually there just isn't a plan at all." [Not that she's really been around enough for there to be much of a usually. Isaac makes a face at both of them, though he's not really bothered by it.]
[Luckily, or possibly unluckily, for Dagny, Isaac is not very easy to embarrass. Imogene does seem to be entertained by it, but he's largely unbothered, shrugging.] It's fine, that's what I've got you for.
[He leans in to press a quick kiss against Dagny's mouth, and then pulls away in surprise a few seconds later when the cap from Imogene's bottle hits him in the shoulder. She looks away innocently, doing a terrible job of biting back her grin, and he shakes his head and asks dryly:] Maybe this was a bad idea. Is it too late to send her back?
No, not yet. She just got here. [Dagny laughs, happy not to be the target of Imogene's wrath as well as entertained by the whole sequence of events and then takes a full step back from Isaac.]
Listen, you stay there, and I'll stay over here. We can behave for an evening. [Just an evening, even though she's going to be staying for much longer. He can't promise her the whole vacation though, only a few hours.]
"Are you sure?" [Asked with obviously put-on innocence. So far they haven't exactly proven that. Isaac bends down, comes back up with the bottle cap to toss back at her, Imogene's act dissolving into giggles when it bounces off her arm.]
Oh my god. [Dagny fakes horror for only a moment before he laughs as well, backing up further from Isaac.] One minute away from me and he becomes a madman. I’ll do my best to stay back, but who knows what might happen. [Even though Dagny is trying to be serious, he’s failing pretty horribly, his smile too wide as speaks, chuckling slightly as soon as he’s done.]
You shush, or I'll start finding things to throw at you too. [It's kind of impossible to sound genuinely annoyed, which completely undercuts the threat. Isaac's just too pleased to have both of them there. Even if they are ganging up on him.]
Geez, I guess the honeymoon phase ended quick. [An amused response, definitely not genuinely put off by his teasing. He turns to Imogene, addressing the next question to her.] What phase is this now?
"I think that's a question for your eventual couple's counselor. I deal with bodies, not relationships." [She holds up her hands like she's giving up. Isaac just rolls his eyes, moving closer to steal the bottle out of her hand and finish it off.]
Oooh, that would be fun. Do you think they’d even take us on as clients or just assume we are too insane to be helped? [Their own personal stories aside, he doesn’t imagine they see many cases of people getting married as strangers and it actually working out. He smiles as he watches the siblings interact, amused by their antics even if he doesn’t quite understand the dynamic himself. As long as it works for them, then he’s happy.]
Hey, they don't have to know everything. Ease them into it.
[Imogene grins, and then softens a little when Isaac wraps an arm around her shoulders from behind, chin resting against the top of her head. It's an idle bit of siblingly affection, but it's clearly appreciated.] "I think you're in luck anyway, most of them are too curious to try the insane ones."
