Safe For Now

[Nox]

The moment was tender. And the touch electric. The kiss...

Time slowed to a standstill and Nox wanted nothing more than to stand there kissing Raffe. He wanted to forget what had happened the past few days and just find solace in the man here with him now. But the hunger gnawed at him. The pain in his arm sharpened despite trying to forget. Nox tried not to grit his teeth as the pain grew. He pulled away pressing his forehead against Raffe's and holding the back of his neck. "I want to just forget about everything, but I can't, there are too many reminders." Nox sighed and dropped his hand from behind Raffe's neck and pressed against the bandage on his arm. "Don't we make quite the pair.", Nox grinned.

Nox still pressed his forehead against Raffe's he didn't want to leave the distance despite the pain, he wanted the closeness, needed the closeness. "Do you want to ask those questions I know you've been dying to? I might need to sit down though, I think the morphine they gave me wore off a while ago. But at least the pain reminds me I'm me."

Nox wasn't a dunce, he had noticed Raffe's voice straining, "Or we can kiss more so you can rest your voice." Nox grinned at Raffe.
