"Yes," he said, rolling up to his side to look at Carlos as he smiled- smiled, not smirk. Carlos was so terribly easy to be around, he thought as he looked at the other man. Tender and kind when needed, hard and strong when he wanted it. "I would miss you, chéri. You make my day a little better." Not that he wanted anyone to read into.

He reached out though, and pulled Carlos back toward him, rolling them both back to the bed. He pulled Carlos back down, half on top of him. "I really would like you to keep going. Even if it is very, very dangerous to let you do so."

Dangerous, he thought, because he was growing to be very fond of Carlos.
