( Thorn realizes in that moment he's been locking hope away the whole time he's been here. not daring to let himself hope that Nate night some day ask him this question.
and now he has... and he means it... and it's like a wave of relief washing through him.
he cups Nate's cheek again and presses his forehead against his. ) Nate... I want nothing more than to be with you. Contracted to you. Living with you.
[ Nate's eyes close, just briefly. He leans in, and feels Thorn's breath on his lips. ]
It's what I want. Thorn, I love you so much. I hate leaving you, every day, and I just don't want to do it anymore. I want us to be together and I...don't want you to contract with someone else. I know you only have a month left.
Then I'll be nowhere else. ( Thorn murmurs before taking Nate's face in both his hands to pull him close. he kisses him deeply, letting him feel just how much he wants this. how much he wants nothing more than to be contracted to Nate and never have to leave him again. )
[ Nate's smile disappears into the kiss he sinks into. His hand slides up Thorn's side, running up to his chest to settle on his neck.
His lips part and he tastes Thorn's tongue. The sweetness draws a sound from him, soft and yielding and eager.
He wants this every single day, and after today they can have it. It's the right thing. It feels right, it feels like it's what they should've been doing all along. ]
