The two were currently lying on Kash's bed with Kash in his usual spot between Levania's legs.

"Ma, can I ask you something?" Kash said, keeping his head down as he was too comfortable to move an inch.

"Sure, pa." Levania responded, his hand gently playing with Kash's small curls.

"Have you ever felt....fulfilled? Meanin', have you ever been at a point in your life where everything just feels right? Like nothing else matters besides what gave you that feeling." Kash spoke, his tone soft and calm. Vulnerability was never something that he wanted the world to see, but he allowed it only for Levania.

"Hmm, yh, I have. I'm still very young, and I still have a lot of time on this earth to experience it more, but I felt it when I was a child. Being with the people that I knew would move mountains for me gave me that fulfillment. It's a different type of feeling you experience, as if it's the only thing worth holding on to in this world. Have you ever felt like that?" Levania gently ran his fingers through Kash's hair as he knew it was soothing for the older male.

Kash hummed, dissecting the question carefully before answering.

"No, at least, not until now. As you know, my life growing up wasn't the easiest. My family didn't care for me, and I didn't have many friends besides your brother, so there was always a sense of loneliness I felt most days. Then you came along and brought light to the darkness surrounding me." He spoke, his tone unsteady. Not from being emotional, but from the nerves for what was about to happen.

"You came into my life, and you're showing what it likes to be around someone that genuinely cares for me. I want you to know that I care about you also. You brought back the hope I lost, and you're showing me a better way of life even if you don't know it." Kash spoke, rising from his laying position to where he was stationed over Levania with his hands on either side of his head and staring at him with that familiar intensity as his stomach began flipping with nerves.

"Lekario?" Levania questioned, a mix of confusion and nerves flowing through him as he felt the air shift around them. He's never seen the male get this nervous other than the time they had that talk about their feelings for each other, and Levania wondered what was flowing through Kash's mind to make him so nervous.

"Levania, what I'm really trying to say is that I need you. I need you to sleep, I need you to eat, fuck I could barely think straight without you." Kash said, eyes burning with fierce passion behind them.

"I don't wanna waste time when I know what I feel and what I want, and what I want is laying right here in front of me." Kash began to smile his eyes a little glossy from the amount of nerves and emotions he was feeling in that moment.

"Wi- C-can I be your boyfriend?"

Levania's eyes widened at the question, his stomach sinking. He's never been asked to be with someone, and it was partially on him as he didn't want to pursue a relationship with anyone at that point in time. But, right there in that moment, the way Kash spoke to him made him feel......happy.

His silence made Kash even more nerves, and the older male was about to move away out of embarrassment as he thought Levania didn't want that but was stopped when his cheeks were held by small hands.

"Lekario," Levania paused, watching the man before him. The man that slowly became a part of his routine. The man that treats him with the gentleness you only read about. The man....the man that was slowly weaving his way into his heart.

"Of course, I'd want nothing more than to be your boyfriend." Levania spoke, his tone dripping with happiness. Kash smiled at him, a wide, genuine happy smile before he leaned down and captured Levania's lips in a passionate kiss.
