[To their home, wherever they decide it's going to be. They have options now, choices to make, something they haven't had many of before.
Barry kisses her, her palms pressing against his tear-stained cheeks, eyes slipping closed beneath the beautiful feel of his mouth moving against hers, sweet and meaningful and full of more love than Lup's ever known before meeting him. But that's just Barry, isn't it? Since the very moment they met, she just knew there was something weird about him compared to other humans. Turned out it was that ridiculously big heart of his, accepting enough to fall for a woman the rest of his kind saw as a monster. But he'd seen through their differences with so little fuss and look how far they've come since?
It takes all that she has, but finally Lup pulls her mouth away from Barry's to break their kiss, her hands slipping back to rest her arms loosely around his neck.]
I need to talk to Taako an' grab some stuff back with the tribe, but... [But leaving to do that means leaving Barry, a feat that seems impossible now that they've agreed to spend the rest of the time they're given together.]
Y-Yeah, that's... that's a good idea. Y'should do that.
[Barry's hands settle on her waist, narrow and soft and speckled with scales. He runs his thumbs over them, feeling the shift in texture, how her scales are so slippery compared to her skin, dry and soft under his touch.
He gets to wake up every morning for the rest of his life touching these scales. Not just dreaming it, not just pining for that one night out of the year they spend together. Every morning, he'll be able to reach out and lay his hand on her waist and touch her, feel her there. Right there. He can feel himself choking up again, throat closing up as they hold each other.]
... Maybe y'can just... go in th'mornin'. [He seeks her gaze. His eyes are puffy and red, glassy from crying, but through the veil of tears is so much love. Love and adoration for the woman who never leaves his mind.]
Just... We can just st-stay here for a while longer. [Barry pulls her closer, her body flush to his.] I missed ya...
[Barry barely gets out the suggestion of her staying until morning before the naga is already nodding along, smile going wide, showing off sharp, predatory teeth. But the look in her eyes is all too full of love to look like anything else. The only thing Lup is hungry for is him, to have him in her life, to wake up every single day together, to settle down and start this new life together.]
Tomorrow. [The woman repeats fondly, letting herself be pulled in close, her thick tail curling loosely around Barry's feet. What she needs right now is just to be wrapped up in him, to feel the full length of his gorgeous body against hers. After another year spent apart, Lup just needs to let her hands travel along his sides, to rediscover every piece of him all over again.
Her head tips coyly to the side, just as the very tip of her tail coils up near his knee.]
Mm, maybe you should show me just how much?
[Tomorrow will be the start of a brand new life together, equally exciting and scary, getting what affairs they have in order so that togetherness can begin. But tonight is all about them, here in the same spot they met a decade earlier, a single night spent under the stars to celebrate the love that's cultivated between them for just as long.]
[She agrees - thank the gods, she's not leaving right away - and Barry beams at her through his tears as they hold each other. There's something about the feeling of her whole body embracing him. All of her. That powerful tail wrapping him all up, holding him securely while they sleep in each other's arms, slowly shifting and moving... He never feels safer than when he's with her.
His fingers tighten a little at her waist as she tips her head to the side, smiling at him, the exact smile he keeps seeing her wear in his dreams. The ones he wakes up from all flushed and sweaty, clenching the sheets in his trembling hands, his underwear wet and sticky.
He mirrors that smile. He shouldn't let another second go to waste without showing her how much he's missed her.]
Mmm, maybe I should... [One of his hands slips around her body, pulling her tighter against him, while the other reaches up to cup her cheek, thumb stroking the high, sharp line of her cheekbone. Then he pulls her in, sealing his lips to hers in a searing kiss.]
