He gives him time, watches him sit there and struggle with himself, his body still, just waiting to see what he's going to do. And the kiss surprises him a little after the previous night, but he's not going to reject it, far from it.

He takes control of the kiss, deepens it, something possessive in the way he kisses Huaisang, more assured than the last time they'd been together, at least. Fingers slip into his hair, stilling at the words that slip out.

And he almost forgets to breathe for a moment before he moves, tugs Huasiang to lie down on the bed and kisses him again, settling over him.

"I love you too." When he breaks this kiss, just looking down at Huaisang.
