Throughout his long life he experienced moments of happiness but he never felt bliss as he sometimes overheard others talking about. Never longed for a moment to never end because he knew better than most they always did. Why try to fight against a cursed destiny but Sage woke something long since hidden within him and he felt it deep within his bones. Bliss. Joy. And most importantly love. It curled around him, blanketed him against the worst of the darkness and screams. The nightmare muted into a monotone, only hues of green swirling around in front of him. How could one person be so heart aching beautiful? It never ceased to pull air from his lungs and make him feel caught up.
To know it went the other way meant everything to him. He made Sage happy and he could have danced from the confirmation of it. Smiling brightly, he brushed hair from Sage's eyes, his own reflecting so much adoration and affection.
"Of course I'll stay," he agreed, sitting up to fix his clothing, shifting a little bit. "You make me happy too, you know. I've never - really got this close to anyone." Not too shocking of a revelation most likely but he still wanted to be more open with Sage and give parts of himself away from his own choice to and not from the universe deciding for him.
"Do you want to stay out here?" They would have to get blankets and pillows because while Zelo could lay around naked, Sage could not. The half shift into scales and more access to his fire helped there too, though. "Or your bed?" Sometimes he thought of it as their bed but he never dared to say so. It might not be what Sage wanted, to be so tied to him.
Stretching his limbs, it never occurred to him how Sage might mean more with the words.
