Krem sighed, a smile curving his lips, as Thomas kissed him in return of the words. He didn't expect a response, he thought. Not really. It was complicated, and Thomas was young. Krem wouldn't ask that of him. But it was nice to be able to say the words and have any sort of response.

He slipped his fingers gently into Thomas's hair, deepening the kiss just a touch as he settled himself intently so their hips lined up against each other.
