Good. [Leo chuckles softly, voice lowering in a sincere note:] Don't let anyone else have me, Elliot. I'm yours alone, 'Master.'

[A bold declaration, more romantically intended than anything Leo expected of himself. But hearing Elliot's heart next to his own and knowing how real this is gives Leo the courage to be braver. Perhaps a bit more honest with his own darkness than is socially accepted, but this is Elliot. If anyone will accept Leo and all his broken parts, it's Elliot. When Leo whispers the formal title of 'master' this time, he means to give Elliot permission to be possessive. Leo knows that he will certainly be greedy and selfish for the start of their relationship. He won't be a fairytale lover and he knows it.

Part of that means sighing in fake annoyance and, in the same breath, lifting his hand behind Elliot's head to brush the hair at the base of his neck.]

Then how am I going to let you go? I'll stay here forever if you don't give me a reason to release you... [He brushes his face against Elliot's shoulder affectionately,] I've wanted this 'story' for so long.
