[ He did actually mean bed partners. The prospect of being anything more currently feels impossible, even if he had entertained the thought a few times during the night. It's not something he can see Siegfried wanting, given what he's known of his former captain throughout the years, and he doesn't want to thrust them into a difficult or painful situation by bringing that up. As enticing a thought as it is to belong to someone he's had so much respect and admiration for since his teens -- No, only a fool would continue that train of thought.
This works, and there's no reason to shake the boat any more than it's been shaken. There's relief washing through him when Siegfried agrees. They're on the same page, and it meant Siegfried liked it -- liked him enough to want to continue. Though he would put up a tough front, it does feel like being told any other answer would feel a little devastating. Percival accepts that kiss, cheeks reddening at the gentle, intimate touch. His lips stay pursed after it breaks but his heart is delighed. ]

[ Or at least, he's telling himself that, Percival himself a little apprehensive about the stark change in their relationship but determined to sustain their cherished friendship. Though, if anything's change, it's his freedom to ... touch. Show affection. What is there to be ashamed about when Siegfried has already seen the most unabashed sides of him?
Another thing he tells himself, as he succumbs to that need with flushed cheeks and a tentative hand slipping into the warmth of Siegfried's shirt and feeling his chest. He nestles in closer. ]
