James took pause at those words, a powerful warmth spreading through him. He pulled Eli even closer and tipped his head to press a kiss to the young man's forehead, then his lips. Thinking about a future together wasn't something James has done in a while. Sure, he did some dating, but nothing that got very serious. Even with his ex, there wasn't really much planning for the future (it was more of an 'oh shit we're pregnant' sort of situation where neither of them really thought the matter through).

"I don't think it's too much," he murmured very softly. Wanting a future together, dreaming of a future together is something James thought (after experience, of course) was vital to a solid relationship. Yes, there's always excitement at first, but once the newness of a relationship wears off, there has to be something more to build a strong foundation on.

"I'm happy that you're already thinking ahead for us."
