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.
