Heiji shivered a little in response; the words were warm, but it was that throaty purr that he could feel against his skin. Was this really the same person who'd tried to push him away less than a week ago?

Yes.

He hadn't expected anything of Snake when he'd confessed. Had even thought it might be a little awkward, being in a romantic relationship with another man when he had no reason to suspect he'd ever done so before.

He'd never been so happy to be completely and utterly wrong. And that he'd managed to overlook this side of Snake was a mistake he would be sure to rectify in the future. He was going to start right now, in fact, by planting a kiss just at the edge of Snake's jaw.
