Joseph placed his hand gently on Sebastian's shoulder telling him though touch that he was there for him, forever. Sebastian blinked and then closed his eyes for a short reprieve, inhaling and exhaling deeply. When he opened his eyes again he had noticed that Joseph moved closer to him, a bit too close for his comfort.. Yet somehow it felt right, being close to his partner like this. His eyes were drawn to those plump lips, lips that looked liked they hadn't been touched before.../span/p
