It felt as if his heart was going to burst. He pressed his lips together and swallowed down the lump that was in his throat. God he loved this man. He sniffled slightly before getting up and propping himself onto Rowan’s lap, legs on either side of him as he held on to his face. “I’m sorry I didn’t know how to love you the way I should have.” He said quietly. “But I feel I can now… I’m going to make mistakes, I know I will. But I know this time, I won’t have to work it out on my own.”
He moved his eyes across Rowan’s face and committed everything to memory. The straight line of his nose, his sun-kissed skin, the flecks of hazel and gold in his eyes.
Without another word, he finally closed the distance between them and captured Rowan’s lips with his, eyes fluttering closed as he felt his lungs expand as if it was the first time he could finally take a breath: by having his love take it away from him.
“I love you, Rowan.” He murmured against his lips as he pressed his forehead against the other’s. “I’m sorry it took me a while to make this right…”
Looking up at Leo he smiled, listening to ever syllable uttered. His heart swelled with love and pride. He said the things Rowan knew; he was going to make mistakes. They all were, they all had in one way or another. They had hurt each other, trying to figure out things on their own.
… I know this time, I won’t have to do it own my own.
Those were the words Rowan didn’t know he needed to hear. Even if they had been similar to his own words to Jude and her’s to him. If this was going to work, they had to be able to trust in each other. To lean on each other; they couldn’t carry the weight alone because they weren’t alone. Something he knew he had to continuously work on himself; given his nature.
But he could do it for them, he would do anything for them.
And then he was kissing him. His Leo, kissed him. For his part, Rowan didn’t try to hold back the moan the bubbled forth. His hands wrapping around Leo’s broad back pulling him closer to him. Savoring the moment, taking him in. The feel of him, his scent, the warmth of Leo’s lips on his. No, there was no possible way he would ever let him go. Leo was to precious not just as a lover. But as a friend, a confidant.
Rowan hummed when Leo pulled away. His grip on the him still tight unwilling to let him pull back. As his words washed over him, “ It doesn’t matter now,” he whispered. Finally opening teary eyes up towards his love, his heart, his home.
“What matters is that I have you back, that Jude and I have you back.” he breathed pecking Leo lips . “You and Jude mean the world to me. I’ve never loved anyone as much, as fearsomely as I love you both. You are my person, and I will love you till my last day.”
