Damon's fingers lightly traced the smooth curves of Alexander's chest, quite unsure of how long they had been lying there beneath the wide tree canopy.
His eyes were closed and a small smile curled on his lips as a thought crossed his mind.
Damon was happy and he wanted to stay in the moment forever.
"I wish we could stay here." He voiced his thoughts and Alexander shifted slightly so that he could look at him.
"Me too." He smiled brightly as his arms pulled Damon closer to his body.
The warmth of Damon's body, steady and solid beside him was momentarily enough to make him forget about what lay ahead.
He was scared for the man he loved and as the time to leave for his quest drew closer, Alexander's fear intensified because he knew that he couldn't afford to lose Damon.
Alexander gulped softly to divert his mind from his thoughts as his fingers reached for a few strands of Damon's hair.
