He very well could, but Equius tends to stay away from picking people up unless it's in a fight or something already agreed upon. The whole being able to crush them thing comes with that of course. The tilt he has to have while kissing him isn't bothersome though, he tends to be a little used to it with Sollux considering their heights.

And that fact that it's kind of in public? Just makes it more disgusting and terrible, and well, Equius doesn't mind that at all, well, not in a way that'd stop him from kissing him. The hand tugging at his hair and moving to snarl at his neck stops him for a moment though, wheezing as his lips curl into a smile.
