[ Rook hadn't been lying when he told Jiho that he didn't need this to be a part of their relationship, that this wasn't something he needed in order to feel like it mattered. and maybe if it had been anyone other than Jiho, he would be worried right now at the shift, the change from kisses and cuddling to something more, but--

well he trusts Jiho. love him.

so when the assassin curls his fingers around him and strokes him just like this, Rook shakes and falls open. finds himself laughing breathlessly, shaken, when Jiho sounds so startled. all but hides his face against him. Rook wants to move, wants to turn and cage Jiho in and kiss him senseless but--

but nothing.

arching fluidly, Rook slides and twists until he is on his forearms above Jiho, thighs bracketing his hips and cock hanging heavy, and forgotten, between them. his face is flushed and bright, but he is completely focused on Jiho.]

Yeah, yeah I do love you. And I will never be sorry about that. You're the best goddamn thing to happen to me ever, and I don't know what I did to deserve you but I will spend every day for the rest of eternity hoping to prove that I'm worth it.

[ he brushes his nose against Jiho's, smile pressed against the assassin's lips.] That I'm worthy of you.
