Oh, yes, indeed, he wanted Silvio to kiss him. Maybe even had wanted that for a little while, now. But things were going at a nice, leisurely pace, one that allowed Simon to deal with any lingering anxieties or doubts. Yes, they still popped up, but they were so much easier to lay to rest now. If he couldn't do it himself, he knew he could always talk things through with Silvio.

But right now? He didn't have a single doubt.

Butterflies beat their wings in his stomach and he breathed out a soft sigh when their lips met. Soft, brief, nothing to cause any alarm. Ah, but it was also wonderful. Simon canted his head into Silvio's touch and smiled before slowly opening his eyes once more.

"Thank you for being patient with me."
