Those smiles without a hint of malice were something Chaz greatly enjoyed and coveted a little. They were so rare and fleeting that sometimes he was sure he missed them. Either that, or Alexei hadn't genuinely smiled in a long time. So being the recipient of one made his heart skip a beat. Chaz, however, was the epitome of carefree. Once he had escaped his family situation he had smiled more on his own without forcing it.
Chaz watched Alexei grasp his hand and absently stroke his thumb over the skin for a moment. He smiled up at him when Alexei said he wouldn't be traveling for a while. Nyx wasn't exactly consequential to him. He knew that she would kill anyone who hurt him, but Chaz was capable of handling his personal life on his own at the very least.
"Good," he said, leaning forward again so that his lips hovered near Alexei's. "I can have you all to myself for a little while."
