Fabrice can't keep the elated smile from his face, certain he must look like a complete dork, especially compared to Demetri's radiant smile. He brings one hand to trace along the edges of the other man's cheeks, bringing the other still entwined with Demetri's to come to rest between their heaving chests. He leans forward to bring their foreheads together, his own breath still settling from all the excitement. In the dim lighting, this close to Demetri, Fabrice finds he is perfectly content, his heart as light as a feather as he takes joy from being so close to the other man.

"I never thought," he pauses, trying to find the right words to say, his voice still thick from sex, "I never thought I'd get to experience something as wonderful as that." He leans in closer, nuzzling Demetri. He realizes for the first time how utterly empty his bed has been the past few years, and how beautifully fully it seems now, filled with both Demetri and himself.
