[He held his breath, staring up at James and willing the man not to run away. If he pulled on his wrist, even the slightest bit, Steve would let him go, but he didn't want that to happen. He didn't want the man to reject him, to leave him alone. He didn't need to hear the words himself, he just . . . he just needed not to be the one to destroy what they'd shared so far.
The touch made Steve's breath rush out on a moan as he leaned into those gentle fingers, eyes sliding closed past his ability to control. His voice was a bare whisper at the question, not even really sure what he was saying.]
I just want you . . .
[Steve pulled James' close when he sat down again, taking the kiss with trembling lips before burying his face in the man's neck. If he tried to speak, or do much of anything else, he'd lose what little control he had. James hadn't left! He hadn't been rejected! And James still wanted him! The fierce joy made his eyes burn with tears he didn't dare shed. It mattered nothing that the man didn't say it back. James was still with him. That was plenty.]
