I don’t want a world
Without pain or loss
Without pain or loss
"I love you too, Sunny." It sounds like a cliche, like some trope, but for the moment, maybe for the night, things feel better, everything rough and angry smoothed down, soothed until he forgets how to be twisted up. "I'm not going to be like this forever." It's a promise, of a sorts, made in a moment of clarity, a moment of hope. Right now though, he manages to have some amount of confidence when he says it, manages to believe it a little bit. Sunjata's gaze sweeps over him like a clear wave, somehow refreshing, rejuvenating, especially with the hands tangled through his hair.
He could stay here forever, wrapped up in the other man's arms, in his sunshiny smile, the closest Nate's been to the sun in a long time, it feels like. It can't be forever, even when he leans in to rest his cheek on the attuned's shoulder, leaning in to trust and warmth. He can be still for a long time though, until the night has fully fallen around them. Until Haai is yawning, and Pemota's drifting slows above them. "Should get a new bandage on." Comes the eventual mumble, an out given so they can both move, Nate leaning back, but not actually letting his arms fall away, waiting for Sunjata to shift first.

I just want them
