[ At the ruffle, Joseph swats Caesar's hand away with a disgruntled little sound. It isn't a hard swat and it's more playful in act than actually being irritated by his action. It was a mixed feeling, honestly. He enjoyed the playful touch from Caesar, but also it made it feel like he was being treated like a kid. Maybe one day the man wouldn't look down on him in that regard, considering they only had two years age difference. He just didn't have the same types of experiences as Caesar because of their backgrounds.

Quickly, though, he hand moves from swatting to gripping Caesar's wrist and dragging the man right down on top of him. He's fully aware that Caesar is not even remotely light, but he could handle it. He has before and he will again in the future. Besides, it was nothing compared to some of the pain they went through with training and being braced for it, it wouldn't even come close to how the kick felt. ]

Yeah, pretty much. I thought it would be the easiest way to get you out of here, since you wouldn't just agree to get out here on your own.

[ Not only was it because of what day it was, but Caesar would have probably dismissed it as a waste of time. Time they could be spending training or some other asinine thing. Something that wasn't enjoyable for Joseph and was too much like work. Once in a while taking a break was important. He needed to try to drive in those compromises where he could.

Both of his hands slide to rest on Caesar's hips as he stares up at him. Hopefully the other man doesn't struggle, but he isn't taking bets on it. With how ornery Caesar could be, this trip in paradise could be very, very short lived. Hopefully not, but that anger could be unpredictable sometimes. ]

Pretty nice place, isn't it?
