Rhys wraps his arm around Elijah's back, drawing him in tight as they kiss. When it ends he doesn't let Elijah go, keeping the other man close.
"I don't want to turn us into two people who talk about all of our feelings." He tells Elijah's mouth, "But I really needed someone to give a damn about me today. Thank you."

"Elijah, are you still all right with us doing this? With-- me doing this?"

no subject
"Yes. Yes, I will. Thank you."

Kiss now, yes. Fair is fair. Elijah cards a hand through his hair, gently cradling the back of his head.

"Is anyone here entirely in one piece, emotionally speaking?" Elijah kisses his throat lightly. "I'm doing more than putting up, Rhys."
