With his initial show of affection accepted, Gladio leans down again to capture Ravus' lips in a tender kiss. When he pulls away, he presses their foreheads together and wraps his arms around his lover's shoulders.

"No more talk of leaving." The subject is worrisome for both of them and Gladio knows Ravus suffered enough internal misery today. The rest of this night should be spent feeling, at the very least, loved and safe.

So he pushes it and kisses the tip of Ravus' nose before grabbing what's left of the soup. "Think you can finish this before we go to bed?"

Gladio plans to hold Ravus tonight, to press his chest to the man's back and his hand over the man's heart, to keep them in contact so that there's no point in the night when Ravus feels alone. But he really wants his boyfriend to at least finish eating.
