Something in his stomach twisted so hard at that, he almost wanted to rub a hand into it, fingers twitching against the back of his lover's neck. He'd been actually serious and not... He wasn't joking with him. Even as he continued, Rhys watched Joseph's face with wide green eyes, the rest of him really still. How was it he kept doing that tonight when normally he couldn't sit still to save his life?
"No, he told me you offered... I just. Had other things on my mind." How did he answer this? Amadeus wanted him closer to him so he could keep him safe and have an easier time teaching him but so did Joseph. Would he get in the way if he stayed here with him? He was so used to being alone but he really was serious about getting used to waking up next to him, too. Now he had yet another choice to make and he was going to let down someone.. "Do you really?"
