"I don't," Keelan agreed, smiling at Fae. Before tonight, smiles were rare. Yet in the other man's presence it seemed hard not to. Where his life had been bleak and colorless before, now it was vivid and bright. Fae gave him that just by warming a part of Keelan that hadn't been touched in a long time. Just by amusing him and setting him free. "but I want to."

His grip is firm enough not to let Fae's hand go, continuing to dab at the man's knuckles to clean them. Fae's knuckles already looked red and angry, pulling the smile from Keelan's lips. The more intelligent part of him knew that after that fight in his old room, it would be hard to escape without any scratches. But the part of him that disliked violence wished that kind of sacrifice hadn't needed to be made in order to free them.

On a whim, he leaned down to brush his lips lightly against the injury in a gentle kiss. As if to apologize, perhaps.

"You freed me and injured yourself in the process, at least let me take care of your wounds." Keelan leg then swung over to straddle Fae's waist, his ass coming to rest in the other man's lap and hands on either side of his head. Leaning down, he smirked. "Besides, I believe I owe you and I'm willing to pay up once I know you won't bleed all over the place."
