Chris loved the city lights, and if he could squint he could almost pretend they were in New York, though the ocean in the distance offering a picturesque view was very unlike the bay surrounding New York. It was romantic, and perhaps that was why he was feeling the vibes and the sight of his boyfriend wearing his jacket awoke something primal in him since he got perhaps a little too into their kiss, hands exploring and falling to grab handfuls of Leon's denim clad ass, deepening the kiss by angling his mouth and humming with stark approval.
As fun as public indecency could be, he knew neither of them were really in the mood to deal with unwanted attention and so slowly he pulls away, hands rising to adjust the lapels of his jacket before soothing his palm over Leon's chest, a gentle smile curved onto his lips as he stared into those pretty blues. " You're not taking anything, Leon. " He counters, stepping away so they could continue their walk through the city, hands dropping to interlace between them. " You're borrowing it. I won't let the man I love be cold, and I'm sure Claire would understand. "
Seattle was an interesting destination, rain was apparently common, but tonight was perfect, and for a city that was serving as their temporary retreat from life, he wouldn't have cared if it was downpouring. One umbrella later and he and Leon would still be strolling the streets, no destination in mind, no task, just walking and enjoying one's company, window shopping here and there. " I could get used to this. One day we can be an old couple who visit cities and window shop and do old people things. It sounds like a blast... provided I have you to hold and kiss and go home with... " The sentence had started out so confident, and yet near the end his tone faltered and his cheeks reddened, embarrassed and nervous over making a fool of himself. It was newfound bravery, opening up like this, and accepting at face value that Leon loved him.
He still felt unlovable, easily betrayed. It was a conscious decision every day to trust Leon, and thus he made the effort, making sure Leon knew where he stood on their relationship every chance he got. " Of course... if you find that boring you can just forget I said anything. " He forces a laugh, purposely looking away to gaze into what seemed to be a jeweler mixed with a bar.
