Emet-Selch nods slowly, eyebrows furrowed a little bit. If he could, he would destroy them for making Hythlodaeus feel this way, no second thoughts about it.
"Of course I'm going to stay with you." Not to mention he's rather physically exhausted. Going back out to a social event sounds awful, in fact. "Though I won't be blamed if I end up falling asleep." He's warm and content and tired, it's very likely. But he won't move much from his current spot at all if he can help it. He's quite happy to show Hythlodaeus he has no interest in anyone else.
"Good..." He could fall asleep quite easily himself, he's sure. It's exhausting, being a jealous mess.
"Perhaps when we wake, the effect will have passed." He rubs his hand along Emet-Selch's back. "Though it will not mean I want you any less."
Emet-Selch had said as much himself- he was enjoying being coveted. "I have always desired you... I am simply usually more content in the knowledge that your heart is mine." Laid back as Hythlodaeus usually is, he doesn't see others as competition because he knows Emet-Selch loves him.
"I shall hope for it." He tells Hythlodaeus softly. Fun as this was, he wants Hythlodaeus to feel like himself.
He smiles at him gently. "The same goes for me. It is utterly impossible for me to want you less." If the two of them had endured in one another's heart and soul for lifetimes, he's not worried that it will disappear anytime soon. In fact, as he lies next to Hythlodaeus watching him, he feels as though his heart may burst with love.
"My heart will always be yours. But I will say it was nice to see such a side of you. Especially since I have felt it as well." Despite being so sure in Hythlodaeus' feelings for him, he is pretty prickly about it if someone else gets a little too close. That's just his personality really.
He's noticed that Emet-Selch gets jealous at times, but having never been the jealous type himself he'd never really known how it felt. Perhaps he should be more careful, for Emet-Selch's sake, so that he needn't feel that way. Still, he leans in for a brief kiss.
"Hades... I have loved you for as long as I can remember. Why do you think I could never settle with a partner even during our days in Amaurot? 'Tis true I am perhaps the flighty sort... but I think it was partially because nobody else could take your place. The same holds true, even now. I may become close to others, but none will compare to you."
He would never have been content with someone else, not when all he could think of was Emet-Selch.
There's probably no cure to how Emet-Selch gets possessive. It's just something he has always been, longing to covet Hythlodaeus completely to himself. At one point he probably also felt similarly to Azem. In fact it's his turn to be a little clingy after the kiss, burying his face into the crook of Hythlodaeus's neck protectively.
"I know that, it's the principle of the thing really." He complains into Hythlodaeus' shoulder, hugging him close. "I know your heart is mine but the thought of sharing you with the unworthy..." Unbearable. Horrific.
He can understand how Emet-Selch feels, but he still chuckles warmly all the same.
"And what defines unworthiness? Is there a test I must be making sure my prospective partners pass?" He squeezes Hades tight, wrapping himself around him as best as he can.
"Ah, but the thought of being with anyone but you right now is... unpleasant. As is the thought of you being with another. So let us think of sweet things, and rest."
He keeps Emet-Selch close as he closes his eyes. "Rest well, my love."
"There are none worthy," He insists, perhaps sounding a bit petulant, but he means it. Not in their world or any other does anyone deserve Hythlodaeus. He's sure he doesn't even deserve him either but they don't need to have that conversation.
But he relaxes a bit then as they decide to think of better things. And rest does sound very inviting. "Mm," He hums, loosening his grip on Hythlodaeus a little but of course not completely.
"You as well, Hythlodaeus." If he doesn't, Emet-Selch will worry after him all day.
