His face lights up and he kisses Nate's cheek again as he's held.

"Never." He's accepted, flaws and all. Huge, glaring flaws and all. Forgiven, too, clearly. He can rest in these arms and know that there's nothing lurking and unknown to tear them apart, that his secrets and issues are out there completely, and this man, this amazing, compassionate, grumpy, handsome man, cares for him.

"And never let me wake up from this dream," he whispers next to Nate's ear. It's too good for him, but he'll take it anyway.
