The blanket laid thinly over their legs. Sitting up and pressed together front to back with naked skin against naked skin, they filled the room with the silence of their hushed and coupled breathing.

This was a moment of closeness. Words were unnecessary.

Cecil took in a relaxed breath, feeling the night air flit through the open window. Kain nosed at his neck near the hairline, and he turned his head into it, eyes closing. Arms were wrapped around his shoulders, fingers just barely brushing the protrusion of his collarbone. A heartbeat pulsed against his bare back, gentle and constant.

Kisses peppered themselves along his throat, his hand lightly squeezing Kain's thigh in response. His head was guided back to rest upon a shoulders, two pairs of lips coming together. And he lost himself in that meeting, kisses languid and slow.

Cecil couldn't recall if he had ever felt more content, more loved. He was surrounded by Kain, embraced by his arms, feeling his touches, taking in his scent. Everything was centered around this one man, a man he loved to the point of experiencing an ache in his chest.

It was a nice feeling, though, one Cecil held close.

Their lips broke away from each other, Cecil lifted his head, twisting his body slightly to touch his forehead to Kain's, strands of their hair threading side by side. Eyes connecting, Cecil smiled at Kain, starting another bout of kisses with that smile still stretching his mouth.

The simplicity and intimacy of this moment, of their entire relationship, was more than he could have ever hoped for.

Author's Notes: Been a while since the last update. So I decided to just throw this together. At three in the morning. On a phone that isn't mine. Yeah. You can just feel the effort it took. Please Review.
