[ He’s surprised at how even his voice is, even under the onslaught of Liem’s soft hands in his hair and the urgent, fragile tension he’s feeling. His own fingers find their roost at Liem’s face, curling over his cheek. It’s such a familiar gesture now. How often has he held Liem in this exact way?
The night that felt endless just an hour ago suddenly seems far too short. He doesn’t glance up at the sky — he doesn’t want to know where the moon is in its journey. It feels like thinking about it would only hasten the end of their time here.
And he doesn’t want to leave; he wants to kiss his husband, who looks lovely and tender under the moonlight, and he wants to feel the quiet rumble of Liem’s voice when he speaks. He wants to ask what had prompted Liem’s tears, too, now that he is no longer feral with need, but he suspects it is not a question that will net him a satisfactory answer.
So he kisses Liem instead, trailing unhurried kisses over the tip of his nose, his cheek, as leisurely as if they had all the time in the world. ]
