Being wanted, what a novel concept still and one Sungmin might never move past, especially when he went so long with others only wanting him for one particularly thing. But Dash wanted everything and saw him in a way he didn't know what to really do with. Dash made him want to open up more and be vulnerable, things he never expected to want. It just made keeping some things to himself much harder.

Words he needed to keep to himself a little longer.

Their eyes caught and Sungmin's breath did the same. Okay, what a moment and the tenderness of it curled around him gently. "I wouldn't mind either," he confessed softly, heart picking up in rhythm. How lucky could one person be. "I'm proud to be with you." He meant the words with every single ounce of himself.

With a nod of his head, he leaned in to give Dash a forehead kiss, lingering and soft. Their hands sent warmth up and down his body, something he wanted to hold onto for as long as possible. "I'll be thinking of you. Let me know right when they leave so we can celebrate." It never occurred to him it might not go well.
