"Hey, it's not a burden" Nate told him, stroking his fingers through Lucien's hair, "I want you to share everything with me. If you keep it in all the time it's just gonna build and get worse. We need that mind of yours to realise it wasn't your fault, any of it" he placed a soft kiss on Lucien's forehead.
"I will never get tired of it, my love" Nate told him, "I won't lie to you I do miss how you were before all of this. I miss it for you as well as me, I want you to be happy again and not worry. To be able to enjoy yourself and everything we do" Nate wasn't going to lie, they didn't do that to each other. They'd promised, "But you are my Lucien, if we only cuddle for the rest of our lives it will be enough because I'll be with you" The sincerity and love was clear in Nate's voice and on his face and he hoped Lucien would recognise it.
