[Bren was not thinking about scandal or propriety or anything else except the man he was dancing with. Being close to Essek had that effect on him, reducing the world to a small sphere that included the two of them and nothing else. He met that gaze and his entire expression softened, all his defenses falling away for this man and this man alone.
He wanted him in so many ways, but all of them came down to wanting him close, wanted to bask in the way those impossibly beautiful eyes looked at him as if he were something worth looking at. That warmth, he recognized what a precious and rare thing it was from this man. He would treasure it, keep it safe and close and his, even when he didn't know entirely who he himself was just yet.]
Ja, by all means.
[And they did, a perfect match, ideal complements of each other -- day and night, fire and ice, each better for their proximity to the other. The music swept them along, but Bren barely heard it, caught up in the rhythm of his own heartbeat and Essek's, beating in cadence with one another.]
Then that is all I need... to be seen by you, and only you.
