When Xaloc opened his eyes an hour later, he was in Jamal's arms, cradled gently and fingers were carding through his hair, lightly tugging. He blinked tiredly, yawned, and peered up into Jamal's gentle eyes. He sighed at the weakness of his body as he restored his strength to its normal gauge.
He waited but Jamal did not ask him anything. There was no curiosity, just love, and trust, it took away his breath every time he saw that emotion in Jamal's eyes.
He moved and gave him a chaste kiss on his cheeks before lying back down to enjoy the warmth. Just five more minutes…five more minutes.
