Asher would like very much to hold Nathaniel, and reassure him. But he is afraid that any touch would be rebuffed.
He shivers softly when slender fingers card through his hair, slowly tilting his head up, his eyes wary as he gazes up at Nathaniel.
"You have always been beautiful to me, mon chat," Asher whispers, "Even in Tennessee, when you were filled with corruption. You will always be beautiful." It is a little ironic that, while he cannot see the same in himself, cannot believe that people would love him, even when he was scarred, Asher can still see Nathaniel's beauty, no matter the package it comes in.
"I will not apologise for setting the path of events that brought you to me," he continues, reaching up to grasp Nathaniel's wrist, gently rubbing his thumb against the soft inside of Nathaniel's wrist, just over his veins. "And I will never apologise for showing you that sex could be pleasureable."
