Beautiful Dirty Rich

Sam Smith - Stay With Me

"Why does the state I'm in concern you?"

"It's complicated. You didn't do anything wrong though, so really don't worry about it. Between you and me...I hope everything works out too."

Are you and your friend Solas going to be ok? I think I made him mad since I was your demonstration partner and he had to watch…..I’m sorry if I made anything worse

"-...I don't know," he mumbled. "I'm sure he's not mad at you though. The partners are chosen at random."

How are you? Oh! I had a question, if that’s alright

"Go ahead."

Tears still rolled down Solas’ cheeks in the same pattern that tears fell down Everett’s. And that didn’t matter; all the pain was gone and was further and further away with each kiss. It stopped existing once Everett spoke. “I want nothing more than that,” Solas said breathlessly as he took his shirt off, knowing that this… this was the first step to something wonderful and new for the both of them. 

Gripping his waist, he led Solas to the bed before laying them down. Every movement was gentle, every caress attentive. "I love you," he breathed against Solas' skin, "I love you so much. Just be mine. Be mine."

Are you sure? It won’t hurt my feelings if you tell me to go away

"Just sit down before I change my mind."

"Go ahead and take a seat."

Everett poured his heart out to Solas and all Solas could truly do was listen. A smile found its way to his lips as he leaned forward, closing the meager distance between them, and kissed Everett gently. He rested his forehead against Everett’s forehead as he finally spoke. “I have waited so, so long… So long for you to say those three words. I love you. And on top of that, you’ve given me the truth. The universe will collapse. All the stars will go out, but not a single bit of that matters. All the stars are in your eyes and your heart swallows them whole. You are my sun and you are all I will ever, ever need and I will always love you.”

He softly wiped Solas' tears away before leaning down to kiss him once more. He pulled the other flush against himself, his passion growing with everything poured out, and all he wanted was to be as close to Solas as possible. "Let me make love to you," he breathed, tugging at Solas' shirt.

"I love you, too," Solas murmured against Everett’s lips, the reality of this situation filling him with something that he had been missing for so long. "I love you so much."

"Solas," he breathed, rubbing his thumb over the other's skin. "I know that the world can be a cold place and people make bad decisions and we will be hurt a thousand times in our lives. I know nothing is certain and everything could crash at any moment. I know one day we will go like all things do. I know that some day the universe will collapse and all the stars will explode and I am so in love with you."

"-Oh. Uh...you're welcome. It's really no trouble."

There was the crashing of Everett’s lips against Solas’ and he was so unprepared, so completely unprepared for the force behind the kiss, for the strength and the passion. Solas let out a muffled sound, a soft cry, as he sank into the kiss. He shook as he placed his hands on Everett’s shirt, pulling himself closer. He had missed this. He had missed him so, so much and Solas kissed him as if this… as if this was their very last kiss.

That was a first. "I'm the guy who'd like to be left alone."

"I know," he whispered, his eyes welling up. "...but he ruined it. I can't...I don't want this to be the moment I..."
