"If that's you're goal, you are doing a fantastic job," Markus said with all sincerity as he playfully wrinkled his nose as he'd seen Morgan done so very often. "I hope I challenge you a little in return," he answered with a quirk of his eyebrow, "otherwise I'm going to require an update."
He wasn't surprised that Morgan agreed with him. They each had so many insecurities, but somehow when they were together none of it mattered.
"Thank you for wanting to share it with me," Markus answered, knowing that not everyone would have been so lucky as to have a partner so daring. The thought made him ecstatically happy, that somehow he'd found this woman with whom he could share both his fears and passions with. When she slipped behind him and curled her body to his, he smiled even brighter, "and now I'm wondering how I hold on. It's a good thing I trust you not to drop me," he teased.
The kiss was both affection and assurance, he felt it and braced himself for a moment before the momentum sped them into the sky. "Holy shit," he managed, the air stealing the words and leaving them far behind as the two of them soared higher. Markus looked down and for a moment felt emotion catch in his throat as he starred down at their world. They home. "It's so beautiful up here," he told Morgan in barely a whisper. "This is incredible, Morgan. I love it!"
