Progress Passawish's eyes locked onto Almond Poomsuwan's as he whispered, "I always choose you, love." Almond's strong features softened, and he pulled Progress close, his arms wrapping around him like a gentle vice. Their lips met in a tender kiss, the spark between them igniting a flame that burned deep within their souls. In that moment, Progress knew he'd follow Almond anywhere, through the ups and downs of life, through the trials and tribulations that came their way. Almond's dominance was his safe haven, a place where he could surrender and be himself, without fear of judgment or rejection. And Progress's submission was Almond's haven too, a reminder that he was loved and cherished, not just for his strength, but for his vulnerability. As they broke apart for a moment, Almond's eyes searched Progress's face, looking for any sign of doubt or uncertainty. But all he saw was love, pure and true, shining back at him like a beacon in the night. "I choose you too, Progress," Almond whispered back, his voice husky with emotion. "Every day, every moment, I choose you." Progress's heart swelled with emotion as he heard Almond's words. He knew that their love wasn't always easy, that it took work and commitment to make it last. But in this moment, he knew that it was all worth it, every struggle, every triumph. Their love was a choice, and they'd make it every day, together, as one.
