[Bren smiled at the memory, one that was still sharp and clear and poignant in his mind, of the way Essek and he had moved together in the back of the car, when his heart had beat for both of them. He sighed a soft, relieved sound at the touch of those lips to his forehead, cool and sweet and grounding.
But his eyes snapped wide open at the next bit, a sudden anxiety.]
...I have learned to keep my mind during the change, but I still... I am dangerous, Essek. If I were to hurt you...
[He didn't worry to himself, but he worried for his lover. He worried for anyone else around him. He would never forget the full moon when he'd come back to himself, back to his human shape, and found his parents dead, their blood soaking him through.
But gods did it sound like some perfect dream to have Essek there, to be able to take refuge in his arms when he was at his most vulnerable, especially after the full moon had passed.]
