[ He'd laugh, after Reyes explained what an angel was. No, no worshipping gods or serving a higher order for him. But beautiful being who brings peace and good fortune -- well, that he'll strive to be for Reyes.
Seems like he's doing well on that front today, earlier distress not withstanding. What a relief to see the bliss on Reyes's face, the soft adoration as the other pulls him in tight. That's a look he wants burned into his memory, something to revisit when he doubts or when he's missing this man. Because right now, he couldn't feel more secure, and what a heady experience that was. ]
You're a better man than I realized. [ Not that his opinion hadn't already been high, but this was outside his expectations entirely. Maybe things can be mended between two people; he's only used to a model where things that break are discarded. ] Forgive me for staring. [ His lips twitch into a smile because there's nothing to be forgiven in that gesture, and he knows it, but it's just as much a thank you for Reyes's handling of, well, him.
Closing the last of the distance between them, he kisses Reyes slow and deep. Reyes's fingers brush under his shirt and he hums gently. Skin to skin contact was certainly a way to be closer, and that was all he wanted. ]
