[ Thorin offers a gentle smile. It's a sight more common now that he finds himself happily married, but still a sight to take note of. This particular one has the addition of brows raised. Thorin is not fooled by your words, Thranduil. He knows him too well now.
The dwarf pushes back the robe from Thranduil's legs and takes in the sight of them. Perfect, as the rest of him is. His touch accompanies his travelling sight to inner thigh. ]
This is not battle.
[ And the smile only grows when Thranduil speaks such truths. The thought of the elf as he truly was gasping and begging for him sent a rush through him and Thorin pulled him closer by the hips in answer. His eyes back to the sliver of abdomen exposed. ]
[As reluctant as Thranduil might otherwise seem, he makes no move to halt Thorin from undressing him, nor from touching him as he does so, his hand sliding up Thranduil's thigh prompting him to let them part slightly. That gentle smile of his husband's gets a withering look in response, but if one knows where to look, one could see an answering smile hiding in the corners of his mouth.
He scoffs and rolls his eyes pointedly, the milky left eye rolling out of sync with his right.] What is that saying Men are so fond of? All's fair in love and war?
[It is not battle, no, no matter how much their personalities clash, or how much they feel the need to gain the upper hand on each other.
Perhaps one day this will be normal for them, as normal as sharing their morning meal has become already. Perhaps one day Thranduil will cease feeling the need to hide his scars completely. Hopefully Thorin will still be alive to see such a miraculous thing.]
[ Thorin pauses in all motions to give his husband a pointed look. Thranduil? Of all creatures? Accusing another of vanity? However true it might be, Thorin knew he had competition when it came to vanity. And his husband often won.
No other comment was needed and he had a job to do. Thorin's hands continued to push up from hip to abdomen. The robe needed to move out of the way so he might get a better view. The rush of lust and greed at the slow sight of his skin exposed... Thorin had before gotten aroused, fully hard just from the sight of Thranduil. Now he could feel himself doing so again, rutting slowly against his hip. ]
Nor your beauty...
[ It was rare he complimented so openly, but he was not one to hide his words when they did not need to be hidden. His eyes glance to Thranduil for a reaction before leaning down to press a kiss to his chest. ]
[Yes, he is fully aware of his hypocrisy in calling Thorin vain when he himself is famous for it. It's part of the reason the words passed his lips; he is not so self-centered as to be unable to poke fun at himself, and if he manages to do so by needling his husband, then all the better, really.
There is still a tight knot of tension and fear nestled beneath his sternum, but surprisingly, Thranduil finds himself amenable to the way Thorin slides his clothing further off of him, the way his husband slides himself in close in the robe's absence, the touch of his hand familiar and possessive as it skims across his body.
He allows himself a small smile and the barest slip of a sigh as Thorin compliments him, long, dark lashes dipping slightly as his eyes flutter for a moment as that dark head bends to press a kiss to his chest. He lifts one hand to stroke his pale fingers through the mass of Thorin's hair, fiddling with the beads that mark him as king for a moment before carding through the rest.]
I know. [That small smile quirks a little higher, teasing.]

Your vanity knows no bounds, my love.
