Alan flushed at the unexpectedly sweet answer. “Oh.” he said softly, a small smile creeping across his face. That was certainly a more comforting answer than ‘because of the thorns.’ Was Eric really taking things slow because he wanted to treat him specially? His heart fluttered. “Thank you.” he said, hiding his face in Eric’s chest, suddenly shy.

His lips pressed to the crown of his head in a sweet and tender kiss. “But it’s true. Yer no’ like e'erybody else an’ ’m no’ gonnae treat ye tha’ way.”
