Summary
Connor leans closer to him. Mouth hovering just in front of Gavin’s, lips parted. “Are you going to let me make you uncomfortable?”
The way he phrases it sends something twisting in Gavin’s insides. It’s more than just – an offer for a hookup, it feels – better. Because Connor knows him. Inside and out. Connor’s seen the ugly side of him, the side he shows people first, and the not-so ugly side, the side he’s insecure about, the side that cares about his pet cat and making sure there’s sugar in his coffee and distracting witnesses with stupid jokes so they don’t stew in the trauma of what they’ve witnessed, the parts of himself he’s tried to hide for so long because they feel soft, soft as in feminine, soft as in could-get-himself-hurt. Weak. Connor’s seen all of that, sure, but he’s also seen the side that would willingly put a bullet in his skull, also seen the side of him that punched him square in the stomach to see how the precient’s new plastic pet would react. All that bullshit on both sides and Connor is still here in bed with him, not-quite breathing besides him.
“… yes,” Gavin manages.
