i will make this look nice later

[ it's his turn for a short, breathless laugh despite himself as he pulls slightly more away. ]

Thank you - for everything.

Yeah, of course. And that's not just, like - a turn of phrase. Of course, any path, any choice, wherever you end up and whatever you decide.

I want to be there.

[ oh. he swallows. ]

[ of course he knows. but it's always different to hear. ]

Me too.

I want to be there, too. For you not for me.

[ it's his turn for his brain to muddle a little but anyway - ] But I mean, if you weren't here right now. I'd pro-definitely have spiraled and I like this. I don't want to think of ends when it should really be a beginning.

I like the idea of a future with you in it, too... and the idea someone wants me in their future, but you specifically.

[ he's rambling a little, so he stops himself and hopes that it makes sense enough. ]

[blinks a few times. takes a deep breath.]

...Can I kiss you or do you need another second to process? Because it's totally okay if you do—

[ he definitely probably needs a few moments but considering what he'd been thinking 5 seconds before he started rambling which had just been: i want to kiss him. ]

[ he laughs a little and just kisses him instead of giving a real response.]

[there's a brief surprised noise before he returns the kiss, whispering into it]

I love you.

[ smiles into the kiss and lets it linger for a few more moments, before pulling back to respond quietly and sincerely: ]

I love you, too, in way more ways than words can convey.
