This is Jesus. Leave a message.

"Whoever you are," he amends quietly, looking up, but he smiles and leaves his hand where it is.

"I'm glad. I was... Concerned that whatever happened to you in the Zoo would make this too difficult."
konstant: (Interlinked)

"I would still care about you if we never touched again. I would still want you to be happy, to be safe and healthy."

This place might have introduced a new angle K wouldn't have pursued otherwise but it isn't the only reason he's here or wants Jesus here.

"But it's important to me that part of that feeling safe is physical, too. I like that it has been."
konstant: (System)

He smiles, relieved by the laugh, by the statement; by the way he can see both that Jesus means it but that there's no expectation still. He would like to, but he doesn't feel entitled to it regardless.

He traces a bit further along the lifeline of Jesus's palm and back again.

"The injection scared me. I don't want to do that again."
konstant: (Conversation)

"I'm glad we decided to stay away from each other for it." Not that he's happy he risked Vrenille, but the other man knew what to expect. He encouraged K, and he was ready after.

"And we have time now. I think I need a bit, to acclimate again."
konstant: (Flowers)

"I believe you."

The other thing - the sleeping with other people thing - still seems strange to K but he doesn't know how to ask about it. Instead he risks sliding his fingers between Jesus's, glancing up at him.

"I don't want there to be pressure here. I want what you want, no more." Less, maybe, sometimes, but not more.
konstant: (More Human)

His reaction is immediate: he pulls his hand back, sets it back in his lap. He doesn't know what he said but he's watchful, cautious of that distance.

"I meant - if you don't want something, I'm not going to insist. I don't want something we don't both want." The word has been repeated too many times and he shakes his head, tries to find another way to say it.

"I won't put myself before you. Not in this."

K's brow furrows, unsure; he'd thought he understood. He'd thought that's what they both were saying.

Now he's not so sure. "What does that mean to you?"
konstant: (Vegas 1)

He turns his palm up as soon as he registers what Jesus is doing, relieved that he does; he is good at reading people but sometimes he gets it wrong.

He doesn't want to get it wrong with Jesus.

"You've already shown me that."
konstant: (Thoughtful)

K's fingertips twitch faintly in response, and K himself lets his shoulders relax.

Then he flexes his fingers a bit more deliberately, brushing Jesus's cheek lightly, experimentally.
konstant: (Thoughtful)

K doesn't take any of it for granted - not that smile, not this touch. He shifts his hand in Jesus's, spreading his palm out over the other man's, and brushing the edge of his thumb just along where Jesus's beard starts from clear skin.

Resting, as gently as the sun through shade, at the edge of his lips where that smile begins or maybe ends.
konstant: (Broken in the Snow)

Finally K smiles, though it's a little saddened by that fact too. It makes him want to pull Jesus close and keep him there a while longer, to let him relax and know K will do anything he can to preserve this.

"I want that. For both of us," he murmurs, and smooths his touch carefully along the edge of Jesus's lip, unwilling to press either of them for more and break this truce.
konstant: (Content)

"I would like that."

They're going to run into trouble eventually, there's always trouble, but just now it feels worth the risk even to him.

"I want that."
