"Promise..." he smiles, climbing on top of him and kissing him hard again.

"I will do everything in my power to protect you for as long as I've got left. I will give you anything you need," his voice cracks again, but he lets it waver. "You ask for anything an I will do everything in my power to give it to you."

His Face goes slack, the wide grin wiped away in utter seriousness; "I love you."
