Beacause…

Underneath all the tangled sheets and haywire pillows lay two bodies, the scent of sweat sticking to them like a second skin.

Breathing soft as one slept, the other kept awake by a question asked hours ago. Arthur hadn't answered Francis when they were in the middle of tender sex. They had been sweating and Francis was panting into his ear. He had been sitting in his lap, their bodies connecting and his hands clutched his back. Francis had whispered into his ear.

"Why do you love me?"

Arthur had been too shocked to answer. The orgasm hit them and soon after Francis was asleep, leaving behind Arthur. Lying next to him as he searched for the answer he didn't have.

Arthur still sat there, staring into Francis's face, stroking his flesh so gently as he tried to find out why. His fingertips trailed over his lips, ran over his stubble and rolled down his cheek. He was choked with emotion and a tender feeling forming in his chest. He played with Francis's hair as he realised that it wasn't just one reason- it was more than that.

And even though Arthur knew that Francis was asleep and couldn't hear him, he spoke out loud very quietly. Whispering to himself, like it was a secret.

"I love you because… because… because your eyes are blue, because you smile so easily, because this apartment is too small, because I hate when you make breakfast, because you know my favourite colour, because when I cry you don't ask why you just hold me, because I need you so such closer than this, because when we fight I don't mean it, because the stars hit you just right and you look gorgeous, because you were always there, because the tea you make is horrible but you still try for me so I drink it, because I love the way you tie your hair back, because you get why I need to be alone sometimes, because when I'm mad you know I don't mean it, because I'm falling apart and you keep me together, because you dress funny, because I think you are beautiful, because you are a tear in my heart, because you're my whole world, because the sky is blue, because the sink really needs fixed, because I really hate that song you keep playing, because when you're not here I'm empty, because… just because."

At end of his spiel Arthur is choking back tears. He buries his head into Francis's chest and he doesn't stir. He whispers against his skin, breathing into him.

"Because you can't hear me but that's okay. Because… I love you. I have no real reason. And that scares me."
