"Ah, right," he said, nodding sagely. "I forgot about the immortality thing."

 

"Huzzah," he agreed quietly, looking down at her with an adoring smile. "Although I feel like you would keep your cleverness even if you grew old. Are you planning on becoming senile?"

He brushed her hair out of her face as she kissed him, his fingers soft and careful.

"I love you too, Av."

 

He laughed, kissing her forehead.

"What would you have done if I hadn't said 'I love you" back?"

 

His arms wrapped around her ribs, and he grinned.

"Good thing you don't have to worry about it."

 

His hand brushed the back of her head, kissing her temple.

"Of course, Av. You're my person."
