Bab 87: Confessions and Dreams

"Feeling calmer now?" Theo asked, pressing a gentle kiss to Damien's forehead as they finally parted.

Damien felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.

For what felt like 20 or 30 minutes, Damien had been caught up in the moment, entwining his tongue with Theo's. Although Theo had seemed surprised at first, he had been patient and kind, keeping his warm smile throughout. Now, Theo still looked at him with that same loving gaze, which only made Damien feel more self-conscious. He could hardly meet Theo's eyes, he was overwhelmed by the affection in his expression.

How could he have so much composure?

Theo, despite being younger, seemed far more mature in moments like this.

Even though he could be so cute when he wanted to be spoiled, right now Theo was radiating this incredible calm and understanding.

Damien was tempted to just drift back to sleep, wrapped up in the comfort of Theo's presence.
