[Well—the bed first, before tackling anything else. Junpei mumbles some nonsense about it, an "up we go" as he moves to get them both up there without letting go of Charles for even a moment, and it's only when they've managed to get up there and settled properly into hanging onto each other that he lets himself think about the rest.

They've promised a handful of things, and it's true that neither of them have managed this particular one perfectly well, but - hmm.]

One thing at a time, [is what he comes up with, turning his head to press another kiss to Charles, his temple or his cheek or literally anywhere, anywhere is good,] We can... re-promise, yeah? Starting now.

[Now, of course, to loop Charles' remaining secrets into this circle of forgiveness. Of course there are things Junpei doesn't know, still - the fucking snake thing, Charles going off for those days by himself - but it's fine now. Promise renewed. Easy.

Still. Starting now... Then,] You know how I was counting days 'til my birthday? It was January first when we got out of that hellhole bunker. The new year turned over in the middle of, you know, everything... And now it's generic winter holiday season here, so...

[So he's been quieter, is the rest of that. No matter how hard he pretends it happened to someone else, it's still there. He squeezes his arm tighter around Charles, a physical reminder that Charles is still there, too.]

Well, that's... another thing, I guess.
