[ Trust is always dangerous, he'd argue. That's the nature of it. And Sylvain had never abused that. Most of the men Basch had been with had. He'd expected them to even.
He doesn't miss the hesitance in Sylvain, though. He knows him well enough now to read him, and when he needs to be caught for taking an uncertain jump. So Basch keeps his face close, cradling the other steadily, even as Sylvain's admission makes his own insides feel light and squirming all at once. ]

Basch has often fantasized about staying in the throes of infatuation with partners but...it wasn't like this. It didn't feel...real or easy the way they do. That frightens him too. ]
I'm honored it's me. You know that, don't you? I don't need you to know what we're doing or where we're going. I like what we have and how we do it. A lot. That's more than enough.
