"So should we do this?"

"I'm not sure, I don't want to hurt you..."

"Nonsense, it's wide enough for 2 to fit, 3 even! It's simply up to you if you are ready."

"But... Is it not too soon for me to go in there?"

"Maybe, but there is also the spare room, you can stay there instead if you wish. And you don't have to worry about hurting me if you move around too much. Either way, the decision is yours. I'd be most happy to have you in my arms though, and I will promise you that nothing will happen."

Revon averts his eyes towards the floor, eyebrows furrowing as he goes into deep thought. I make no move to rush him or push for an answer, I simply stand there and wait for his decision.

Throughout the movie, we cuddled up to each other but no sexual moves were made. About halfway through I noticed that Revon was starting to drift off to sleep, but kept forcing himself awake with a slight jump. I suggested for us to go to bed, but gave him the option of staying with me, or in the spare room. I can see that his body wants to stay close to me, but his mind is telling him not to rush this. To put his mind at ease, I decide to make the decision for him, but also give him the opportunity to change his mind.

"How about this... You can stay in the spare room. But I will leave my door open, and if you decide that you need me in your arms as I need you, you have my full permission to join me." He raises his head again to look at me, gives me a small grateful smile and nods in agreement. I take his hand in mine, giving the back of it a small kiss before leading him to the spare room that is across from my own. After giving him a change of clothes to wear for bed, a spare toothbrush and directions to the bathroom down the hallway, I watch him from the doorway as we both stare at each other longingly.

"Thank you, for letting me stay... and... not rushing this. I was, worried you may expect more with how things... escalated... earlier." He says as he takes a few small steps in my direction. I push myself off of the doorway and make my way over to stand before him.

"There is no need to thank me, I wanted you to stay just as much. I don't understand why but I don't want you away from me just yet, I was simply glad you agreed and I didn't come across as an impulsive brat." I take his face between my palms and lean in to give the side of his lips a small kiss. "And I didn't expect things to escalate after what happened. It was the heat of the moment that occurred due to both of our actions, and I am glad it happened because it gave me another insight as to who Revon Brown is. An obedient, excited little puppy."

His face flushes red as he groans out in embarrassment. He clutches to me and buries his face into my neck. "How about we never speak of that again, huh? I think that sounds perfect!" I laugh loudly while he just heats up, even more, telling me to 'shut up' once again.

We both drift off into a silence, standing there in each other's embrace. Eventually, though I pull back, wishing Revon a good night, and reminding him that my door will remain open, always. He nods his head before responding with a small smile and peck against the corner of my mouth, as I had been doing to him.

Once I find myself laying in my own bed, surrounded the warmth of the blankets but only feeling coldness due to another's body not wrapped up with my own, I drift off into a deep sleep, sending silent prayers that I don't wake up alone.
