"Are you sure?" He asks even as he revels in his touch. Part of him is relieved, when he thinks about it. He's never done anything like this before. Still, part of him remains disappointed. He wanted to give Rat the same pleasure.

But he doesn't need to be asked twice, when the other man beckons him. He leans in closer as he moves back up Rat's body; he lets one hand wander around his chest and stomach, while the other continues stroking him, as firm and even as he's able to. He brings his lips back to Rat's, kissing him deeply, hungrily. He groans into his mouth, wanting him to know how much he is wanted. How he is not actually alone.
