[ He meets that kiss, just as desperate, hands still cupping warmly against Basch's face as he lets the emotions he feels pour into that brush of lips. Wanting to reassure his lover, but not sure he has the words to do so. ]
I tend to have trouble trusting anything that's easy, too. [ He confesses softly, lips quirking in a rueful smile, still pressed against Basch's. ] Anything that seems too good to be true usually is, after all. But Basch. Your choice - that you keep choosing me... it's everything.
I don't want anything - or anyone - in this place to come between us. Things are complicated here, I know. Whatever relationship we make for ourselves, it's going to be far from normal. But maybe you and I thrive better with that. I can safely say, I'm pretty sure 'normal' wouldn't work for me in general.
We're both going to have other lovers - maybe just for a night, or maybe more frequent than that. I think, if we can accept that reality, along with the fact that we both have this, here, [ he pauses, presses his hand over Basch's heart ] to always fall back to... Do you think you can be content with that? You are so important to me, Basch, and just as irreplaceable. I want you to know... I choose you, too. I want you to know your place... it's right here, with me.
