Gus sighed, letting the heat disappear from his tone. He bent and placed a kiss to the top of Nick’s head. “I love you sweet boy but I will not let you become less than I know you can be.”
Nick smiled shyly up at Gus, grateful for the kiss and the I love you. It was still new and exciting and he would never get tired of hearing it. “I love you, too, Sir,” he said softly. “But I... I guess I should get back to studying.”
