"I'm sorry," Archie apologised, finding it difficult to pull away from Mason. Not wanting to pull away from Mason. He let out a little laugh. "I promise. Promise I won't do it again. I don't want to scare you." And he meant that, too. Because he cared about Mason. Of course he did. More than anyone else here in this town.
He smiled brightly up at Mason when the other man pulled back slightly. "I ate before I came, it's okay. I didn't want to-" well, he wasn't going to eat Mason. He hadn't yet, and it was probably not something they should broach right now- "If you're in the middle of anything, though, don't let me stop you."
