you're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling
I... Nate sighs softly, trying to keep himself calm, trying to not simply react. We'll talk about it again, if there's not. We... we'll figure out what to do then. It sounds foreign to consider, but... it was the only way they'd come out out the other side of this.
It's not a resolution of any kind, but it's enough to stop a war in it's tracks, to blow a monsoon into a drizzle. Nate feels himself sag, dams breaking down to release a tidal wave of relief. He drowns in it, wants them to drown together in it. Alright. I... alright. He breathes in the slight scent his husband, letting himself be wrapped in the sweet, smoky notes, the sense of home. Tot die einde. He echoes, sniffling softly.
A soft kiss is pressed to Sunjata's cheek, a fluid sheen gathering at the corners of his bright gaze when it opens again. He sucks in a soft breath, then nods, licking his lips. "Breakfast is going to take forever now." A sniffle wraps around the words, Nate turning sharply to shove the dish into the coals, and get the morning back on track.

& you're trembling and he reaches over
and touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist
NATE
