Oh, but did that feel good! He all but moaned when Patrick stopped.
Well, that was blunt, but honest. Chris closed his eyes and thought about it.
"Don't know about smart, I'm not super intelligent, but I do have common sense. Like enough to take your word and not call Marcus the n word again. Ever."
"And as for the rest? I knew you weren't talking about being boyfriends or whatever the word is. And I'm not some kind of stalker. But..."
He caught Patrick's eyes with his own before going on. "If you mean that if we see each other again you'll act like I don't exist or am some kind of trash? No, this won't happen. Because, aside from this, you might like me as a friend if we ever met someplace else and talked. I'm not asking for that now and I won't in the morning, if we get there, but it could happen. So if you think you can accept that, then yeah, I want."
