[Tatsumi says he is content, but Mayoi can hear the shake in his voice. The way he is struggling to hold himself together. Tatsumi has been suppressing this side of him for some time, it seems like. Likely to not trouble him, but it still makes him sad to know.]

[No, he has said this already, and he intends to stick to it. He will accept Tatsumi, and that means all of him. Even the parts Tatsumi may be afraid to show him. Mayoi feels that gentle touch, the brush of lips against his hand, and he lets out a soft sigh, an exhale as desire begins stir beneath his skin.]

[His voice is low, melodic, and right against Tatsumi's skin.]

That would make me a wretched and cruel thing, to turn you out for something I asked you for.

[And maybe, just maybe, he knows a little bit more about Tatsumi's instincts than he might realize.]

If there is darkness in you ...I will hold it reverently in my hands just as I do your light. I accept it, so please do not hold back.
