Soohyuk felt better with the confront coming from the younger male, feeling as if everything within him seemed to calm down and not seem so hopeless. Moving so they could be more comfortable with them both nuzzled deep into the sofa, Angel tried to think if he had missed out on something. "Do you still have the necklace I gave you?" The question seemed endlessly random and yet he felt anxious about the answer as he never misplaced the ring, even now knew well it was put away in a private place in his home. Looking at Yixing, his eyes warm towards the one he so endlessly missed and loved, his fingers moved to lace together with those of the younger. "I don't want you to go...I made that clear the last time. Also I will give you the file when I have moved in with you - a lot of it all I don't know even if it is true. I am only happy to know that you are by my side when I find out about everything in my life - at least I know..." His voice faded as his eyes went softer with a light frame of tears as the whisper came out of his throat. "Do you still love me? Can I say I know you love me?"
It almost felt as if he was melting against the older male, as if the mere embrace he was held within made them become one. It was yet another piece of evidence, that concluded just how much he had missed the older male, how much he actually needed him. It made Yixing press closer, made him squeeze the elder in his hold. At least until Soohyuk’s question reached his ears and he pulled back a bit. It was random, no doubt, but he still smiled. “ I do. ” He uttered with a small nod, before pulling the collar of his shirt aside, to bare the sliver chain, tugging at it gently to expose the small pendant. “ I’ve worn it since the day i got it. I… couldn’t bear to take it off you know? Especially not… when I went through therapy and rehabilitation. I needed you, badly back then. And I found comfort in knowing I had at least a piece of you with me. ” He explained, cheeks tinted a light pink as he buried his features against the older male’s chest. But even though a bit flustered, he was still content and comfortable, calming soon and relaxing against the other again, nodding as he listened. It wasn’t until the other trailed off, when his voice grew silent and faint that Yixing dared to pull back a bit, to look up at him. He spotted the brimming tears in beautiful eyes, lips parting as concern spread over his features — together with tender affection as he let his thumbs wipe the translucent droplets away, light brown eyes locked by the elder’s. “ I do. ” He whispered. “ I love you, Lee Soohyuk. And I will until the day I die. I know that now. So please don’t cry anymore. ”
