His palm cups that cheek and Astre lets his thumb gently brush over that skin, savoring it. And savoring it more when he hears those words, feels his heart melt. He could live forever just to hear Undertaker say that again and again.
"I love you. So much." It's almost a whisper and he smiles up at him for that little kiss before leaning up a little to try sneaking a small kiss.
"Luckily, I'm still slight enough that you can reach my shoulders from any angle. And I can hug you close while you do."
Never did that cease to appeal to him in any way. Already, he was thinking on how best to utilize such a situation, where he could rub the boy's shoulders and still allow Astre to hug on him. He gave the Earl a gentle squeeze, humming softly to him as he did.
"Sounds like the best way for us to do that would be to have you lying against me, hm? I'm not too keen on leaving the bed just yet, so what do you say? Lie on me while I give you a good rub?"
He hummed softly for a moment, nuzzling in against him and just savoring his position for the time being. And that squeeze he was given just made him grin against Undertaker. This is what he loves most, what he needs, this love and care that only Undertaker can give him.
"I like the sound of that. Would that be comfortable for you though?" He'd be more than happy to just lay against him for as long as possible. And kissing him. Loving him.
"I want to give you the best birthday you've had in years."
He doesn't need to see that grin to hear it in the teen's voice, always such a delight. He can't help a little scritch against the boy's back for the sake of it. Rather than voice his reply, he cradles Astre to him and slowly works his way over to his back, pulling the Earl with him. It would only be too easy for Astre to resist, and Undertaker won't fight him if he does, but he doesn't think the teen will.
Once they're positioned just right, he smooths palms up and down his Earl's back, starting off small.
Astre relaxes against him, eyes closing for a moment. Even if he's only smoothing his hands across Astre's back right now, it feels wonderful. And he's so cozy while laying against his reaper.
He nuzzles into the mans neck and smiles against his skin. "This is so nice. I feel like I should return the favor for your birthday."
Even if Undertaker is asking to take care of him. He wants Undertaker to know how important he is to the young man.
Those hands don't stop their business over Astre's back, smoothing down the ripples in the teen's clothing for some unnecessary excuse to keep touching him. Astre's hair brushes against his cheek as the boy nuzzles against him and Undertaker takes that moment to nuzzle back, pressing the side of his face in against that soft hair.
"As you have so many times before, you mean? But you already are."
So nice. Warm and comforting too. Although he does find himself resenting his clothes a bit for being in the way of that touch. He won't rush or push anything though. This is Undertaker's day, anything the man wants is what Astre will give him. There isn't anything he's unwilling to give Undertaker.
"I can't help myself. I love surprising you and treating you as specially as you deserve. You've stolen my heart." He says the last part so softly, still nuzzling against him so gently.
He would try to be no less for the boy, keeping him close, keeping him warm and safe from everything that had ever hurt him, or would ever try. No one deserved what the Phantomhives had gone through. Life had tragedy enough as it was. But they had each other now, if nothing else in the world, and that was all he needed.
"You just love trying to spoil me, I think." He pressed a soft kiss to the mess of dark hair so near to his lips, scritching gently along one shoulder blade. "Quite an odd way to treat a thief, wouldn't you say?"
He hums and laughs softly, happily nuzzling against him in return for that kiss. How spoiled they both are and Astre regrets absolutely nothing. He turns his head then and kisses his neck.
"Can you blame me? You're so wonderful and you've never let me doubt that I'm loved." Another little kiss. "Is it? You're a very unique thief, stealing away my very heart. That means I need to treat you very specially, don't you think?"
And Astre had never thought about having such feelings before.
