[ as if he'd ever ask nero to make a promise. every single time it's been nero who's volunteered to do so, and even if bradley were to ask him, he'd never request something as stupid as a promise to never question him. are you kidding? he loves it when nero challenges him.
but this is different, isn't it? nero clearly likes the reminder that he belongs to someone - it must take the anxiety away from making permanent decisions when he leaves that up to someone as capable and confident as bradley instead. and bradley meanwhile loves being relied on, so this is a perfect simbiosis.
he releases his wrist, though he doesn't expect nero to stop pushing at his chest. instead he brings that hand to the side of his face, caressing his cheek as he moves his bangs away from his eyes. he's quiet for a moment, just staring at him.
they really were alone at a new place where nobody knew them. there's still a chance this is the realm of some magical beast, or something like the forest of dreams… and maybe this won't be permanent, really. so why not enjoy his time with nero to the fullest? ]
Nero. You better not leave me again.
[ it's really just brad-speak for “thank you for being here, i couldn't do this without you :pleading_face:” but before nero can call him out on it with his deciphering abilities, he leans in to kiss him. he's been dying to, even though they've been all over each other for the past few months. it's a miracle nobody in the mansion has noticed - or maybe they have and just kept quiet for their sakes? who cares. ]
