Considering how much of his life he's spent finding any sort of emotional or physical connection off-putting, he finds can't deny that he doesn't mind this. It's stupidly domestic, and it's only appealing because of Casper.
He toys a little with Casper's hair, making an amused sound.
"Is that only because I'm good at wearing you out?"
That tug gets a quiet noise in the back of his throat, and he more than happily moves up to meet that kiss. "Wouldn't want to offend you," he murmurs, but it's a little distracted. Alexander's mouth is always incredibly distracting.
Casper could argue up and down that he's not easy, which is mostly true. But Alexander kisses him in a way that just makes him melt, and after that it's hard to want to resist.
"Mm, not in a million years." The touch to his chin is met with a smile, and he sighs and melts into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Alexander's neck.
"I'm glad you do, because I don't think that will change any time soon."
Casper settles in with a thoughtful hum, tracing lazy, contented circles over Alexander's chest. "I'm glad I'm here with you, right now. But you know you already had me, right?" he asks, glancing up to watch his partner's face. "I'm already yours."
Alexander hums in response, a vaguely non-committal noise that falls in line with his aversion to showing any emotion or sentimentality. His hold on Casper does become somewhat more possessive, though, and inwardly he's pleased at the confirmation.
"Because I'm yours?" He doesn't need to hear it back, he can tell. In the way that Alexander's arm tightens around him, of course, and in the way that this ridiculous and wonderful man dropped everything to bring them out here for this wonderful vacation.
"I want you to kiss me at the top of the Eiffel Tower, tomorrow." And he laughs, because it's a dumb, romantic request. But why not try?
It is dumb and romantic, which is not at all how Alexander chooses to operate on a daily basis. And he's already doing drinks at the Eiffel Tower, isn't he? Not to mention that, in general, someone telling him what to do in any capacity gets under his skin.

But you also just make me feel a little more relaxed. It's nice, I don't let myself relax like this that often."

"My door and my bed is always open to you, if you ever need to relax."

"I may have to take you up on that. The offer goes both ways, you know. If you ever need to relieve some tension."

Which is not really recommended.
He gives Casper's hair a bit of a tug in response to the light touch of Casper's fingers, then nudges his face up to give him a kiss.

That wouldn't end very well for Casper.
He gives Casper's chin a little tweak followed by another kiss.
"But I know you'd never."

"Your mouth drives me crazy, you know that?"

If he wasn't himself, he'd be pretty obsessed with him, too. Well. Maybe he's a little bit obsessed with himself already.

As though he isn't completely smitten with the man in his arms, already.

He adjusts himself a bit to stretch out on his back, keeping his arm around Casper.
"But we both know it's not really just the champagne."

"You caught me. I'm addicted. But is that necessarily such a bad thing?"

"We'll see where the mood takes us," he amends, pressing an apologetic kiss to Alexander's shoulder.
