"Okay okay!!!" He laughs as Squall tries to maneuver them out of.... y'know directly by the door. It takes a moment to reposition Lucky, hefting the pup up under one arm so he can grab Squall's hand with the other, leading his boyfriend back into the training facility. Then he ducks into one of the smaller mat-lined rooms he'd been working in earlier, bending down to let Lucky down to sniff the rubber flooring.

"He's so cute." Then, as Lucky explores, he turns back to Squall properly, wrapping his arms around the brunet to lean in and kiss him soundly. "You can't expect me to ignore him for..." Nyx cocks his head, looking Squall over for... whatever else it is he has for him. "You know you didn't have to get me anything, right? You've got your new boys that.... need all the help they can get."

Not that he blames them but Squall's blonds are both less capable of living off the land and less comfortable with casual sex. Squall's got his work cut out for him looking after those two.

Lucky is more than happy to get to smell all the new scents in this room. He quickly runs around smelling all the things as the two men talk.

Squall is happy to have his boyfriends attention and eagerly holds him, not minding at all about the sweat or slight stickiness ot Nyx's body. It's kind of hot honestly and he just wants to touch him right now and that's what he does, wrapping his arms around his shoulders loosely and kissing him back almost too eagerly. "I got them things too, don't worry. I wanted to get you something special too cause...well cause you're Nyx and my boyfriend." His face does go a bit pink at the word boyfriend, still so shy about it. At least he didn't say he was 'his Nyx' like he wanted to. Squall is pretty sure no one could call him theirs, Nyx is too free a soul for that.

He gives another kiss before letting go of him and finally grabbing the present out of his back, wrapped in a black scarf for winter being Nyx's kukris. At least Squall hopes they are his weapons. He asked the peacekeeper for them and hoped his description was right. "I thought you might like your weapons back....these are them right?"

Nyx sucks in a sharp breath, eyes widening briefly as Squall withdraws his kukris. He reaches for them with a sort of reverence that might be surprising but Squall has seen the charms and beads dangling from the hilts, knows that the similar ones in Nyx's hair are very important even if he doesn't know why yet. The first one he takes and drops to one knee so he can strap it around his thigh, a comfortable familiar weight. The other he turns in his hands and shrugs helplessly at Squall.

"This is what I get for wearing sweatpants." He chuckles a little, clipping it onto the back of his pants in lieu of a belt but quickly has to retie them so the extra weight doesn't pull them down entirely. Even then it makes them dip dangerously low in the back. Nyx laughs again, stepping in close so he can kiss Squall.

"Thank you." Soft and warm and heartfelt. Clever hands settle at his hips, holding onto him lightly. Or- wait....

And then Nyx is flicking the buckle of one of Squall's multitude of belts open so he can slide it free and loop it around his own waist. "You can have it back when we get home, geddah~" He flashes Squall a mischievous grin, settles his other kukri onto the belt and then vanishes in a flash of light and crackling power, abruptly reappearing on the far side of the room, crouched against the wall, hanging from the blade now embedded a good 10 feet up the wall. "Oh that feels so much better."

Squall was trying to be good, honestly he was but with a boyfriend as hot as Nyx who constantly likes to tease it's something inevitable. With the look Nyx gives him as he takes the daggers and how low hanging those pants are, Squall doesn't care who might see them he's already focusing in on touching more of that muscular body in his arms and how good Nyx always feels against his lips.

"Nyx..." A soft moan as if a prayer of the man's name leave his lips as his own hands easily fall in place to that slightly exposed skin at his waist, holding him there as they kiss. He's so utterly distracted he doesn't feel Nyx take his belt until those lips against his own are gone and Nyx is at the other side of the room.

Grey eyes blink for a moment before he looks back to his now empty hands and then back to Nyx. "Wait...Nyx what in Hyne's name did you do?! How did you do that?" Oh now Squall is running over to him cause he has to know how to do that.

Squall's delayed reaction earns a loud laugh, echoing in the mostly empty room enough that Lucky removes his nose from the floor, ears cocking as he looks around confused. The fact that the puppy's expression is so similar to Squall's only makes Nyx laugh harder. Hard enough that he has to yank his kukri free to just slide down the wall, grinning and laughing and sweeping Squall up into his arms as his boyfriend hurries over.

"Just a little bonus the Kings get." He's still laughing when he kisses Squall again, extracting himself almost as swiftly as he'd wrapped his arms around him. "You bring Revolver? You wanna go a couple rounds?" One Kukri is still in hand, blade tucked back against his forearm as he bounces on his toes a little. "C'mon~~"

Does he just want to flex? Mmmmaaaaaybe a little? But he's also just so excited to have his weapons back.

The warping was maybe the coolest thing he's ever seen and he's been to space so that's saying a lot. He has to know how to do it but once Nyx mentions kings he doubts he will ever be able to. Fuck, that would be such a game changer for him.

Squall is about to say something when he's grabbed and kissed and then put back down and just left in a stupor.

Oh.
Nyx is really happy. That's really cute. He likes this. Nyx smiling is his favorite sight and it doesn't look fake for once.

"Y-yeah I brought her. Think you can beat me with your little knives and magic?"

Squall sounds hesitant at first and that just makes Nyx grin even wider, wicked delight gleaming in those silvery eyes just as surely as the violet spark of magic.

"Oh, I don't think I can beat you, Geddah. I know." It takes everything he has to wait until Squall has time to actually draw revolver. The moment she's in hand, though, Nyx is disappearing in another flash. He hits the ground immediately beside his lover, rolling with the momentum of a charge he'd barely taken a step of before he'd warped. As he tumbles past the flat of a blade slaps against Squall's side, just above his hip.

"That's one." It's utterly unfair and he knows it. Squall will need time to adapt to the absurd speed Nyx can move with when he has blades that are weighted well and the space to cover ground. If anything being in a room indoors will be a benefit to Squall for this.

Squall truly doesn't have a moment to react once Revolver is drawn before Nyx already tags him in quick warps. His own eyes can barely follow the movements before Nyx appears close again but this time he turns and barely blocks another one. Holy shit Nyx is fast, it's like he's used haste on himself times 12 or something. He's not going to be able to out maneuver him at all.

"You were holding out on me weren't you?" Squall takes to running then and with the small space of the room he casts blizzaga behind him, ice appearing behind him as he runs to shield his back at least. His guard up as he tries to get a better spot to gain an advantage over this warping.
