Chapter 5

Once they were home and inside, Elias cut Seth off mid-sentence to shove him against the wall and kiss him as though he needed it to live. He felt like he did. He was desperate for the reassuring contact and the contentment it brought him.

“I thought you were mad at me,” Seth said between pants for breath when Elias let him go.

“I was, and then I was scared, and you make me feel better.” Perhaps it was overly honest, but Elias felt it needed to be said. He was upset, but that wasn’t the most important thing and it wasn’t as though Seth didn’t apologize. Maybe he shouldn’t forgive so easily, but he suspected Seth had that problem as well.

“I’m sorry you were scared.” Seth wrapped his arms around him. They’d never really hugged like this before. Like everything in their relationship, it was weird and backward, but it still didn’t feel like it mattered that it was. Elias melted into him and buried his face against Seth’s shoulder, closing his eyes to listen to his heartbeat.

They stood there for a handful of minutes, silent and basking in physical contact. “I’m so tired of being told I’m not allowed to be who I am.”

Seth chuckled darkly. “Try being bi. But I get you.”

“I was so sure that when I told John how I felt that he’d agree that we’d be best off leaving, together. I know he felt the same way about me, I know. I could tell. But then he turned around and told me that wasn’t right, and I’ve honestly never been so afraid, because if the one person I thought I could trust would turn on me, where could I go? And then I ended up here.” Elias took a deep breath and pressed closer to Seth.

“Don’t worry about one asshole. Seriously. If he showed his face in here he probably wouldn’t leave alive. People here love you so much.”

“I haven’t been here very long.” Elias laughed. He felt as though he fit in, regardless.

“But you’re charming. I mean, you’re adorable, and people react to that. It’s like having a puppy in the bar.”

“I will take that as a compliment.”

“You should, I love dogs.” Seth kissed the top of his head.

“We should get one, then.” Elias looked up at him. “I’ve never had a dog.”

“You’re not allergic or anything, are you? Because I had two partners in a row who were.”

“Not that I’m aware of. I’ve never reacted to one. And if I am, there are medications for that.”

Seth looked so thrilled that Elias was sure he’d said exactly the right thing for once in his life. They absolutely should get a dog if the idea made Seth that happy.

As if to confirm Elias’ thoughts, Seth leaned down and kissed him. It was so soft and gentle that it made Elias’ chest hurt. He’d have to learn how to do this, instead of just attacking Seth’s mouth with his own, but for now Seth seemed to be okay with doing most of the work.
