“I’ve never been more comfortable.”, Markus replied and giggled softly. “You’re warm, and I feel safe. Cared about.”, he added quietly, smiling softly. He was very happy, and he didn’t feel the need to hide his feelings for once.
“Thanks for cuddling with me.”, he said softly.
“Oh… that’s new. Uhm, you’re welcome?”, he mumbled, hoping that Markus couldn’t see his face from where he was. That was what he had wanted, wasn’t it? For Markus to feel safe and protected with him, and to be genuinely happy while they travelled? He ran his fingers through Markus’s hair again.
Markus hummed in content when he felt Oliver’s hand, shuddering. That felt really nice, and if he wasn’t relaxed before, he definitely was melted against Oliver now. It just felt really nice.
He could spend all day just laying here with Oliver, if only they didn’t have any needs. Like food and water. For now he was very content though.
