He does. Oh God he does. As deep and passionate as he can make it, while still having it more about thank you than sex. Sex will be later.

'Never thought you'd be here. Thought I'd be dead before I ever got the chance to show you.' He smiles but doesn't let him go. 'If I manage to change things, we'll have to come back. You can meet Hector. If you want to, I mean.'

He's just talking. Dreaming really. He'd like for Random to see him when there are people around, people who actually listen to him, the way ones in the bar don't.

Fear him, is what he means. But at the same time, he doesn't think Random will like it, particularly. And right now? It doesn't matter. They're here, together, going to spend all night in his bed, in his house, in his home...it's the best present he's ever been given.

'I love you. So much.' Random is kissed again, just as before.
