Kapitel 58: The Rewards of Caution

"I'm really sorry," Damien murmured, running his fingers gently through Theo's hair. "I just got a little crazy thinking about how your first time was with someone else... I couldn't help it."

He knew how embarrassing it sounded, but Theo had already been through enough humiliation today, so fair was fair.

Theo mumbled something, still pressing his face against Damien's lap.

"Hm? What was that?"

Damien tilted his head closer, straining to hear what Theo was saying.

"...I've never done it back there, so... that first time, I'll give to you."

Damien's heart swelled, so full that he couldn't find the right words. Instead, he pressed a tender kiss to the top of Theo's head.

After that, Theo seemed to recover his spirits. The two spent a good while cuddling and teasing each other until midday approached.
