Yes, I do. And...I want to live up to your expectations.

[He knows it's a moot point, since he's done that simply just by being there, but...it feels like he can do more. Be more.]

[He kisses him softly, a hint of nervousness over the bond. In reality, it's easy to fall into something like this, but it's another to keep it up, to be there always, to make sure that someone he cares for so fiercely doesn't fall through his arms.]

I will use all my efforts to ensure that you're on solid ground.

[ He feels that nervousness and feeds back some soft reassurance. They're lucky they have this bond. Especially to start. Pushing through all the initial anxieties and being able to express just how much Sholmes means to him. ]

I'm a pretty simple guy. I just want you here with me.

[ He plants a very soft kiss on Sholmes. ]

I hope I can repay that.

[He pulls him in closer, just to have him here. Just to hold him. To know he's here, and this is real.]

[There's warmth, but...there's also gratitude, here.]

You already are.

[ Ahh... that gratitude washes over him and it feels so nice. He emotionally wraps Sholmes into a blanket of acceptance and warmth. ]

How very nice that is.

[He smiles - his head might be pounding, but just for the moment, everything feels light. Weightless. Like it should be.]

[ Good thing that isn't the concussion. But he kisses that smile, soaking up that feeling. It really was nice having a solace in this madness. He would have carried that weight alone, has carried his weight alone... but sometimes, it's nice to have a place to turn to. ]

I count myself as lucky.
