cries

that said i really love jealous tenma??? like. yes. be jealous but have grimmer following u like a puppy. ok ok ok ok. so the last two really trike me. there's so much story in all of these panels. 
also for the lots of kisses one. like. I'd like to believe that grimmer got the wrong impression somewhere, like:
maybe after the 'you should kiss me more' kiss, Grimmer went out for coffee the next day at an outdoor cafe, and he's reading a newspaper. A couple nearby is giggling quietly in the background, and the conversation is something like, "....op, Dilbert! Ehe!" "Alright, alright. I just wanted to let you know that I love you."

Grimmer puts his newspaper down while staring into space, and idilly stirs his coffee. 

he reflects on tenma telling him to kiss more:

'He says that, but what am I supposed to do? He knew that I have trouble showing the right expressions. I thought I felt something when we first got together, but... now it's just the familiar motions. This is beginning to seem like.... *flashes back to his ex telling him off for not loving him* .......'

the couple nearby's conversation starts to catch his ear. "....--such a tease, Dilbert. First you're giving me the cold shoulder, and then you're kissing my face a dozen times." "Darling, I may not always be around, but that's precisely why I must make up for all the kisses that I haven't given you." "Ah, Dilbert! Then we should..."

And Grimmer simply picks up his newspaper and starts to read it again.

Later, perhaps that night, after an awkward goodnight.... Grimmer rustles and turns on the bedroom light. "....augh. Wolfgang? What... what are you doing?"

Grimmer doesn't turn at first. "I... I thought about what you said."

Tenma says nothing.

"About me not kissing you more. It...." Grimmer turns his head, revealing a sad smile. "It might be true, yanno? I have no idea what the required amount of kisses are for you. I don't know when, how often, or even what time of day you need them to be happy. That's a part of me that's missing." His grin fades, and he glances away. "I might not be enough for you."

"No, it's not..." Tenma is on all fours now, leaning towards Grimmer's backside. "You're always enough."

Grimmer looks back to Tenma with a blank expression, reading him. 

Tenma puts a gentle hand on Grimmer's shoulder, his expression serious. "I was being needy." His grip tightened. "I could have waited for you, but I chose not to. I could have waited for you to see, but it was my own blindsightedness that got in the way."

Grimmer's expression changed to one of surprise. "For me to 'see'?"

Tenma's face bowed slightly as he whispered, "You have emotions, Grimmer. I've seen them. But you don't know what to do with them, or how to show them. I know that you're trying to learn how to cope with what we're doing right now. Even when you seem cold, you're looking out for... for us. I wanted to wait for you to understand that about yourself, but I got restless." Tenma's hand let go of Grimmer's shoulder, and he sat back on his thighs, staring at Grimmer's back. "I realize that I may have been acting like your ex-wife, and for that.... there's no excuse. I'm sorry."

Grimmer stared at Tenma, face wide and unblinking. He looked to the carpeted floor, thinking. When he looked back to Tenma's guilty face, his own expression was determined. He takes  Tenma's face in his palm with one movement, and starts kissing Tenma's face all over.

"What?" Tenma's face, confused and happy, head tilted. Grimmer kisses his exposed neck, too. "Grim--Wolf--" His face is starting to turn red, and his ears, too. Grimmer kisses his ears, and then his cheeks. Peck, peck, peck. "Grimmer." Tenma takes Grimmer's face in his hands, stopping him. Tenma's staring straight into his eyes, brows furrowed and face red. 

"Tell me, Dr. Tenma. What face am I making now?"

Grimmer's face looked sincere. Tenma's frown deepened and his face grew redder.

"I want you...." Grimmer took advantage of Tenma's loosened grip and started to slowly peck Tenma's lips as he spoke, "... to tell me...." Peck. "Kenzo." Another peck, at the temple." Don't ever not tell me."

"Tell you...?" Tenma's face turning left, then right, while staring at Grimmer with one eye open, not sure what to do.

"Tell me" kiss "when you feel lonely." Kiss. Grimmer backed his face away, his forehead resting on Tenma's. He broke out into a small smile for Tenma's sake. "I don't know what to do. But I'll learn. So... you should tell me when you feel lonely. And I'll make up for all the kisses I missed giving you."

Tenma's shocked eyes immediately dipped into a deeply embarrassed bow. He put his hands on Grimmer's chest. Neither man moved, until at last Tenma quietly said, "....Fine."

In the morning, when they were both dressed, Grimmer kissed Tenma again as he had the night before. He realized that there was some joy in Tenma's bashful expression that he wanted to see again.

During Christmastime, under the mistletoe, Tenma returned the thousand kisses to a surprised Grimmer. By that time, Grimmer had slowly learned how to kiss back. (panel 3, "surprise kiss")
