“You are,” Brett insisted defiantly, with a playful tone and bouncing eyebrows. His gaze never left Dave and he stayed as close as he could be, returning every affection and granting plenty of his own. Brett was a touchy person, he was all about physical affection. There wasn’t a moment where he wasn’t touching Dave in some gentle way. Especially when they kissed and while he listened to the other man. “Okay, I give in. Do you need anything from me to make this happen? When do you wanna go? It sounds like your friends miss you. I’d miss you too, if I was out in New York and you were still here. I’ll go anywhere with you though. Just say the word. Or even don’t. Just pick me up and carry me there. Dragging works too. Or luring with the scent of pizza and cookies like Bugs Bunny.”
Brett’s teasing came and Dave rolled his eyes playfully, drawing the other into his body even further, wrapping his arms around Brett’s back and shoulders, bringing him to rest against Dave’s own chest. “I have a million arguments prepared to show you how wrong you are, but I just can’t bring myself to argue with you, handsome. I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one.” The amount of physical affection Brett gave had been surprising to Dave, but not unwelcome in the slightest. The truth was, Dave himself craved a lot of physical affection, second only to his primary love language necessity of words of affirmation. The longer they were together, the more apparent it was how well they fit. As if it had always been meant to be. “I’m glad. Though, don’t think you didn’t drive a hard bargain. It was a tough sell, you held out well. Nope, I don’t. Other than for you to pack, and be ready to go...Tomorrow night?” Dave asked, cocking an eyebrow. “Yeah, I guess they do. And I miss them, too. New York just...Isn’t a forever place for me. But, I should go visit them more. It’s hard, with mom....And Sebastian doesn’t even know about that. Anyway, that’s...I like that, Brett. That means a lot to me. For you to say that. And for me to know you mean it.” Dave leaned forward, pressing his cheek to Brett’s head. “You’re an uncomplicated man. That’s one of the things I love most about you.” The words came before Dave could stop them, though immediately after his eyes widened to a size akin to saucer’s, his face turning beet red. “I- I mean I...I love- I just...Oh, wow.”
