[ Again, his breath hitches when he feels that spike — that surge coming from Nate and bleeding into him. It’s difficult to explain, what he feels, but he figures it’s because what he feels is coming from Nate in a way that isn’t physical, but emotional and it’s strange but not in a bad way. It’s the words Nate gives to him, followed by that kiss that has him pressing his forehead to the other man’s — nuzzling him almost as he sweetly kisses him back and he feels so much more calm when doing so. As if every negative thought and doubt and whisper has been silenced or, reassured to the point where they don’t bother to argue back. ]
I know. I can feel it. [ Eyes having fallen shut, he opens them slowly, looking to Nate as he does. ] I can feel you.
[ Nate nods. His hands stay on John, and he moves to gently lean against him. ]
You talk about your moods, but you're good at dealing with mine. I trust you. I would ruin anyone who hurt you. Don't ever think I'd be fine without you. All of this is how much I need you.
[ He closes his eyes, and lets himself settle into the feeling of being against John. It makes the warmth being shared between them calm, turning settled and easy and at home. It's strong, but there's something soothing about it. When Nate's with John like this, that's how he feels. ]
