[Cassian wasn't nearly ready enough to say the same - but that didn't mean that he wasn't certain that he could love Ben. He just needed a little time to get there. Still, he would never begrudge Ben for what he felt ... he welcomed hearing the truth that was in his heart.

Cassian sighed hotly against Ben's lips, shivering gently at the feel of his fingers carding through his hair - a particularly sensitive area of his body that always sent a chill racing up and down the length of his spine.]

Ben ...

[He knew it was quick. But Ben knew in his heart. This was it. Cassian was his person. He knew.

He moved from those gorgeous lips down his neck once again, breathing softly against the skin. He slowly then pulled back after nipping so slightly at his pulse.]

Cassian... I... Oh...

[Cassian felt the inklings of it, too. He wouldn't be here if he hadn't felt something between he and Ben. He wouldn't have opened his heart and his home and his life to this man if he didn't believe they could have something real and meaningful and lasting.

And he would have said as such, but he could barely even think as Ben kissed him and then turned his attention to his throat, where Cassian was sure he could feel the erratic beating of his heart.

Christ, if it always felt like this ... ]

Yeah, I know. I feel it, too.

It's like it's not enough and too much. I want to touch and kiss you all over. And I've never felt like this. For anyone.

[Ben gave another shaky breath and kisses Cassian. The intense connection was so much. It threatened to overwhelm him. And he was finding that he wanted to be swept away.

To get lost in Cassian. In them. He groaned, trying to keep himself together.]

[It would be so easy - too easy - to give into the intense desire to truly become one. But for as easily as he was responding to Ben's touches and kisses, Cassian didn't want to rush into that, either. It wasn't that he held particularly old-fashioned values, but he did want to take his time in this.

His heart stuttered to hear the admission tumble from Ben's lips. This time, it was Cassian that reached out to place a palm against the other man's cheek and jaw, holding him steady as they kissed again and again and again.]

Never ... loved anyone before? Or - ... ?

Either.

[His voice was quiet at that admission. He wasn't ashamed that he was still a virgin. He had been a tall, gangly, awkward looking teenager and had only filled out in college.

And he had been too busy studying during college.

But now? Now he wanted to... but he wanted them both to be comfortable. To be at ease.

He pulled back, flushing softly. He averted his eyes from Cassian's.]

[Oh.

Ben's inexperience wasn't a dealbreaker in the slightest. But it only deepened Cassian's desire to take things slow, to avoid jumping into anything far too quickly that Ben could potentially end up regretting later.

Besides, he had his own fair share of inexperience, too. Especially when it came to being intimate with another man. Which … was probably something that he should admit to, as well, but right now …

He wanted to concentrate on Ben, first.

Cassian smiled gently, dropping his hand and searching out Ben's to hold, to squeeze reassuringly as a way of letting Ben know that he was still right there with him, that there was nothing to be embarrassed out.]

That just means that we take it slow until you're ready.

[Ben raised his head and smiled shyly at Cassian. It was a sweet, shy smile, probably one that hardly anyone saw.

He squeezed the hand and took a breath.]

That's fine with me. I want to be happy with you.

[The sincerity in that smile and in those words - it was enough to make Cassian's head spin. He knew that Ben probably didn't need protection from him, but he wanted nothing more than to keep him safe from all harm. Ridiculous thought, but one he felt with every beat of his heart.]

I feel like an ass, you know? [He asked, huffing out a breath.] You probably came to the restaurant to eat, and instead you left with me.

[Ben laughed and just leaned against Cassian, a smile on his face. It didn't matter to him. He let out a breath and kissed his neck after a moment. He felt this sincere pull to Cassian. He wanted it all and more with him.

And it would all take him, but that was okay.]

I can order room service. Are you hungry?

[There would be time again later for another visit to the restaurant. Opportunity to meet Cassian's family properly and get to know them. Because ... Ben would be a part of Cassian's family now.

The thought of being able to call Ben family cause his heart to clench almost painfully. His family. He never knew how much he needed it until it was right in front of him.]

I'm not hungry, but you should get something if you are. I'm not going anywhere, Ben, I promise.

[All he wanted to do was curl up with Cassian and and... He wanted everything, that it was almost overwhelming and terrified him. He had never felt this way and he didn't. Christ.

Ben nodded and slipped off the sofa. He made his way over to the desk and picked up the menu, he quickly read through it before settling on panuchos de cochinita. He called and ordered before crossing over to the sofa.

He settled back against Cassian.]

Because of the words on my side, I've been studying Spanish for almost my entire academic career.

[For as grateful as Cassian was to have a moment to catch is breath and try to compose himself, he absolutely felt the distance between he and Ben - even though the other man was only just across the room.

He felt ... so much and so quickly and it was a lot to come to terms with.

But it felt good to be spending time with Ben, and Cassian welcomed him back to the sofa with open arms, chuckling softly as he spoke about the tattoo and his proficiency with the language.]

You must have been so disappointed to learn what it said, yeah?

I wondered what they mean in context to our meeting. But I knew they were special because they were my soulmate's first words to me. They're romantic because that person said them to me. It was how we met....

[Ben had his head on Cassian's chest and was listening to the beating of his heart. He found that it was comfortable. He took a breath and then let it out, timing his breathing to Cassian's heartbeat. He knew he could fall asleep like this.]

[Cassian was quiet as Ben spoke, the warmth in his belly spreading to hear that although the words were nothing very special, all things considered, it was the meaning of the meeting that was more important.

He hardly even gave it a thought as he gently carded his fingers through Ben's hair, careful as he used his fingernails to scratch his scalp.

This felt so comfortable, so natural and so right. Cassian didn't want to have to get up for the foreseeable future.]

You're so sweet - [Cassian replied softly, switching to his native Spanish.] You deserve all the prettiest words I have.

[Ben let out a breath and smiled. And relaxed. The fingers in his hair was grounding. And he loved it. Cherished the feeling.

He was finding it was easy with Cassian. That he didn't feel the usual nervousness. That all he wanted to do was fall into it all.]

The prettiest words you have said to me are our first words to one another. And my name.

[Cassian took great pleasure in feeling Ben relax all the further, a little at a time. How could he feel anything but, knowing that he was able to make this man comfortable in his presence.

For as much as he had never truly believed that the whole soulmate thing was for him, but ... he was coming around. Ben was helping him see that it could feel comfortable and right.]

I want to believe that we have a whole lifetime to discover more.

[Ben tilted his head up and looked at Cassian. He smiled at the man and reached out to cup his cheek in one hand. He stroked his fingers along the stubbled skin before kissing him.

He pulled back and nodded.]

I do too Cassian.

[Ben pulled back, reluctantly, when there was a knock on the hotel door. He got up and went to retrieve the food. He tipped well, and then shut the door bringing the meal back over to the couch. He set it on the table.]

[Cassian met Ben's gaze, his soft smile slowly widening as he was touched so gently, as he was gifted with another sweet kiss, even though it ended far sooner than he would've liked.

It was understandable, though. He was sure neither of them wanted the bellhop to stand outside their door any longer than was strictly necessary. Besides that, the sooner the food was brought in, the sooner they could be alone again ...

And for the moment, that was all he really wanted.

To be close. To continue getting to know each other. To enjoy each other.

He huffed out a chuckle, sitting up straighter once Ben brought his order back, shrugging one shoulder slightly.]

My mother is going to love feeding you.

[Ben blinked at that as he sat down as well. He looked at Cassian and tilted his head to the side.]

Why do you say that?

[He carefully began to give himself small portions of the meal onto a plate and began to eat. He was hungry. But he was with Cassian now. They could be together and learn more about one another.]

[Cassian laughed, watching Ben with a fondness in his expression. How to even begin explaining his mother and her predilections when Ben hadn't even had the chance to meet her yet?]

She's going to take one look at you and declare that you're too skinny - which, by the way, you're not, you look more than fine - and then she will ply you with as much food as you can possibly stand.

Or, she'll be excited to have a new mouth to feed just because we've all tried her recipes countless times before. She'll probably ask for your input, she's always looking to improve the restaurant however she can.

[Not that Cassian was going to push Ben to meet his family before he was ready. He was more than content with the idea of spending more time just getting to know each other better.

Just being close like this.

Kissing.

Wherever the night led them, Cassian already knew that he'd be happy spending it with Ben.]
