Adrian dug his fingers in a little deeper, Stephen's liking for being petted amusing him no end. "A big lazy cat," he repeated. "You going to purr for me next?"
He frowned at Stephen's response, not really understanding. "Why would I want to leave you? I've never gotten that- You left me the first time, not the other way around so there's no precedent for me doing that," he said, his arm tightening around Stephen at his next words. "Never. I would have always come back, I'm not stubborn when it comes to you, baby."
Adrian kissed his hair. "You're never going to be without me. Not whilst I can possibly help it."
