[ Tao had flashes of Jianyu's emotions during that talk, but he hadn't interrupted. He knows that when the other is ready, he'll seek him out.
So there's no surprise when those arms come around him, and Tao maybe even puts himself in a position that easily allows this to happen. Both of his hands come up to lay over Jianyu's, and they can stay like this for as long as his soulmate needs. ]
[He presses his forehead against his love's back, smiling softly. It's several minutes later that he finally steps around, sliding both hands up to Tao's face. Thumbs stroke each cheek as he simply looks at the other male, tired gaze softening before he smiles.]
I've found myself wondering if it's selfish to want to be more than answers, for some. To be more than a way out... or a method to gain what's desired most. [There's more, but he closes his eyes and simply lets out a sigh before shifting the topic.] Perhaps it just feels that way because I used to want nothing, at all.
[ He can feel that smile, but still doesn't press for anything to be said, simply lets Jianyu take comfort in his presence. When the other does move, Tao shifts his hands to rest on his soulmate's waist - tugging him in gently. ]
Even if it is selfish, is that such a wrong feeling or reason every once-in-a-while? There doesn't have to be a line drawn between being selfish and selfless, but instead a healthy balance. [ Tao leans his forehead against Jianyu's. ] You will always be what I desire most, qin ai de, and I'm alright if that makes me a little bit selfish.
