Hawke laughs with him and lingers just a few minutes longer before he slides off to the side and manhandles Steven into his arms. It's definitely more comfortable this way. Steven's weight won't ever crush him.
"It's been an amazing year getting to know you." Hawke sighs happily as he lefts his eyes drift closed. "I'll take another one just like it."
Trials and sufferings and all. Hawke wants that again and again with Steven. A thought that should make him panic a little bit after what happened last time but it doesn't. It just feels really nice to think that way.
He rolls into Hawke easily, happy with them on more equal ground and arms wrapped around each other. Steven snuggles back into him and relaxes, finding one of Hawke's hands to slip his fingers in between as they get comfortable.
"Me too," he says softly, even though he knows this probably can't last forever in this place. He's actively choosing not to go down that path of thinking, not right now anyway, reveling in this joy instead.
He brings Hawke's hand up to kiss briefly before closing his eyes. "Time to rest, love."
it's perfect
