[For as much as Cassian ached to lavish attention on Ben and give him the same pleasure he'd so selflessly given to him, right now, this seemed ... not more important, but more pressing.

No matter what the answer, he knew he wasn't going to pull away or give up the chance Ben was giving him to atone for the mistakes of the past and find a way to look toward the future.

Which was why he wanted to ask - ]

Think you might want to ... move in with me? Doesn't necessarily have to be here, we can find someplace new, really make it our own.

I just ... I want you to have a home base, you know, someplace you can always return to when you've been away. Someplace that you'll know I'll be waiting for you.

[flyboytwopointoh]

Yes.

Always yes.

[Ben put his hands on Cassian's face and kissed him softly. He pulled back and pressed their brows together.

He was so glad that Cassian understood. That they had this second chance.

He kissed him again before tucking himself more against the man.]

I'd marry you tomorrow if that's what you were going to ask as well.

[rebellionbuilt]

[Whatever residual stress Cassian was still carrying melted away in the moment that Ben said yes, happiness and relief radiating from him as he returned the kiss.

When it came to an end, Cassian sighed and closed his eyes and relished the closeness. He hadn't forgotten what had brought them into the bedroom, but now that Ben had mentioned marriage ... ]

Well, I don't have any rings yet and you know my parents would kill me if we just up and eloped.

But ... we could start by applying for a marriage license and planning for something small while we look for a house.

I mean ... if you want to.

[flyboytwopointoh]

Yes.

[Ben laughed and kissed him, smiling from ear to ear. He was so happy.

He kissed Cassian again and just... His heart felt like it was going to burst from happiness.]

You are the love of my life. I don't want to exist in a world without you.

[rebellionbuilt]

[Cassian's laughter was muffled by Ben's lips pressed against his, but he found no real reason to care. For the first time in a long time, everything felt right again, like all the missing pieces were falling right back into place.

He couldn't remember the last time he'd felt so joyful - or so hopeful!

And while he hadn't anticipated his night taking this turn, but he would feel gratitude for the rest of his life that it had - that Ben had forgiven him, had never stopped loving him, still wanted to be with him despite everything that had happened between them.]

I'm going to spend every day for the rest of my life loving you with all I've got.

[flyboytwopointoh]

And I will do the same. You are my other half Cassian Andor.

[Ben smiled at the man who had always held his heart. He cupped his face in both hands and kissed him.

Pulling away he pressed their brows together and took a breath. They were together again and would be forever now.]

We have a break from touring... Do you want to go visit your parents now?

[rebellionbuilt]

[Cassian's breath caught in his throat to hear the reassurance. Even if he had the proper words to return, though, they were lost in the wake of the kiss.

His hands trembled a bit, but it hardly stopped him from returning the kiss, nor did it interfere with how easily he welcomed Ben as close as he wanted to be, sharing space, sharing air, sharing comfort.

He chuckled softly, shrugging one shoulder in response.]

My mother will have a field day feeding you, Ben. But yeah, I'd like that a lot. [He paused, leaning to press a soft kiss to Ben's plush lips.] Can we discuss it further after I'm finished with you?

[flyboytwopointoh]

[Ben just laughed into the kiss and nodded.

He shifted back a bit before laying down and stretching for Cassian's gaze. Ben loved being with Cassian. And this second chance...it made his heart swell.]

Have me my love.

[rebellionbuilt]

[Cassian knew he would be content enough just exploring Ben with his fingers and his mouth for the rest of the night. But he wanted nothing more than to reconnect fully and show Ben in every way possible that this was what he wanted.

Besides that - he wasn't about to take for granted the miracle of the chance he'd been given to make things right. He wanted the man that he loved to feel exactly how loved and missed and adored and wanted he was.

He settled himself between Ben's parted legs, gently placing a palm against his inner thigh, offering a soft, quick squeeze.]

Do you want me to wear a condom? It's your choice, sweetheart.

[He hadn't been with anyone in the long months that they had been parted - he hadn't slept with anyone while they'd been together, and before meeting Ben, it had been a long time since he'd had a partner or even quick rolls in the hay, too.

He was safe, he knew that. He knew Ben had been, too. But he was never going to force what he wanted on Ben, no matter what.]

[flyboytwopointoh]

No. I trust you...

[Ben pushed up to touch Cassian's cheek. He smiled and leaned in to kiss him. He pressed their brows together before kissing him again.

He trailed his hands down the man's chest and took a breath. Ben laid back, trusting the man. The words the lawyer had spoken had hurt, but... But he understood the anger that Cassian had been feeling. But now they had a chance to rebuild themselves. To be stronger.]

Make love to me.

[rebellionbuilt]

[Cassian could have cried - hearing those words from Ben's lips meant that much. He knew that he would never do anything to cause the man touching and kissing him so reverently to distrust him ever again.

He returned the kisses with no hesitation, shivering at the familiar touch of Ben's gentle fingers, his gaze so soft and so awed as he simply just observed Ben lying back down, getting comfortable, waiting.

Regrettably, Cassian had to move away momentarily in order to retrieve the lube - which he still thankfully hadn't gotten rid of.

His hands trembled as he opened the bottle and poured a generous amount into his palm, warming it up before carefully - gently - preparing Ben for him. It had been a while, of course he the last thing he wanted was to hurt the man, even unintentionally.

Cassian sighed brokenly when he took what remained and stroked himself a few times, making sure to cover himself from tip to base and back.]

Okay, sweetheart. Ready?

[flyboytwopointoh]

[He watched Cassian for a moment as he retrieved the lube. Before anything else, he leaned up and kissed the man. Ben then settled back down.

And the familiar sensations of Cassian preparing him washed over and... Oh. He dropped his head back, moaning softly. He had never forgotten what it felt like to have those fingers in him. But yet at the same time... it was so addicting and he wasn't sure how he had gone so long without him.

But those fingers were pulling out and he raised his head to meet Cassian's gaze. That soft, adoring gaze.]

Yes.

[rebellionbuilt]

[Cassian took his time with the preparations, his gaze shifting to Ben's face to watch his expressions, make sure that he was enjoying the careful, familiar ministrations.

But he had nothing to worry about, Ben reacted in all the same ways he had before. Made the same delicious noises. Shivered and shook. Looked the way that Cassian remembered.

How lucky he was to have the chance to make his mistakes right. And for as desperate as he was for the man watching him so reverently, Cassian wasn't going to rush anything along if he could help it.

He settled between Ben's parted thighs, took his cock in hand and slowly began pressing forward.]
