Koschei didn't think Tom was capable of liking anyone, he thought Tom was so removed from reality that he didn't feel like people did. But he wouldn't say that aloud, of course, he didn't want to ruin whatever illusion Barty had held. He deserved that much, And besides, he had clearly known Tom better than Koschei ever really could of.

Offering a kiss back, Koschei tugged Barty in closer, letting him hold on. And hey, Barty was actually pretty nice and warm, it was a pleasant enough experience. "I'm not going anywhere, not if I can help it. I survived so much, I won't die now after everything. The shit I lived through, I deserve a nice long life."

"We do," Barty agreed, because saying 'we' had to ensure that Koschei didn't even consider getting rid of him. Not that he really thought he would, but still. He dropped his voice, so quiet that it wouldn't even be audible if not for how close they were to each other and how quiet it was. "I love you."

It wasn't something he said often, at least not when he wasn't high or drunk, because it always felt odd that someone like him was in love and saying it was just strange. But there was something about being haunted by memories of Tom's corpse that made him want to state it out loud.

"I'd do anything for you."

It was one of those very odd things. He was always very well aware that Barty loved him and that he loved Barty but it was a topic they rarely spoke of aloud. It was just a little strange hear it but never the less, he did like it. A nice little assurance of how and where they stood together.

"I love you too," Koschei insisted, closing his eyes and letting himself relax into the warmth that was Barty. Maybe sleep wasn't the worst idea in the world, he did technically have work tomorrow. "And I'd do anything for you."

If Barty ever needed something, Koschei would get it done for him. He always owed him, forever and ever.
