It cannot be,
That thou lov'st me, as thou say'st,
If in thine my life thou waste,
Thou art the best of me.
"You love me don't you?"
"What kind of a question is that?"
"Just checking." Connor blushed and gathered more duvet to cover him. Kevin scooched toward him in the bed so close their noses touched.
"You don't need to check," Kevin said softly, "If you do then it means I should tell you more often."
Connor close his eyes and sighed, his hand instinctively reached for Kevin's beneath the sheets.
"I'm not holding you back am I?"
"What? No no." Kevin looked in surprise at his boyfriend's now slightly pained face.
"Just checking."
"Well stop checking." Kevin raised a hand to Connor's face to gently stroke some stray strands of hair away.
"This is what I want, but if it's not what you want, please tell me."
"Connor, you're all I want."
"Just checking."
"Shhh." Kevin put a finger to Connor's lips, holding it for a few seconds while looking him straight in the eyes before replacing the it with his own lips.
