Chang pushed himself onto Ed. It was mutual, in how they slid together. Quickly, though, Ed became breathless, as if overwhelmed by the violent lust emanating off of Chang.
"I'm sorry." Chang's face was buried in the other’s shoulder. He was eager and turned on, and Ed was willing. "I've wanted this for a while, now."
"When did it start?" Ed asked, tilting his head so to lean into Chang's splayed hand.
"Not sure." Chang nipped at Ed's shoulder. Ed recoiled.
"No, I'm serious." Ed was pushing, and Chang just wanted to hold him closer, to take him.
Chang was quiet for a while, stroking Ed's spine with his free hand for a while as he contemplated his answer.
"You love me." Chang said, like it was so simple.
"You…" Ed began a sentence that he didn't have the words to finish. "I do love you. Not like that, but…"
Chang withdrew himself, taking himself to the other side of the mattress and curling his arms around himself, hurt.
"But I could, now that I know." Ed admitted.
The words felt like a dam breaking amidst a flood. Chang's eyes went wide but he didn't turn to look at Ed. The promise of something was so tempting.
Luckily, he didn't have to wait, as Ed leaned awkwardly over to press a kiss to his jaw, and then his cheek, and inevitably, his lips.
Chang surrendered to his hunger and took it happily, manipulating their bodies until Ed was half-trapped and being kissed furiously.
"I should have said it sooner." Chang broke the kiss with his confession. Ed smiled, and brushed a knuckle against the other’s cheek.
"I knew it, anyway." Ed admitted.
Chang was lost for words, his usual demeanor shattered. It was embarrassing to spill his feelings in this way, to lay bare in the presence of the only person who could wound him.
"Since when?" Chang sounded breathless, and to Chang's chagrin, Ed laughed.
However, the next look was kind, and consoling. Ed's dark eyes felt like something Chang could melt into, and they were focused on him. "It's how you look at me. It terrified me at first, but," Ed paused holding Chang's face and using his legs to cage his hips. "It's how you keep me close. I love it, and you."
Chang's held breath released.
"Your touch, your smell. You feel like home, to me." Ed's feelings pouring out were assaulting and heartfelt. Chang didn't cower, though. He leaned in, taking Ed's lips again.
"Please, keep feeling that way."
