On this winter's night with you

Sam had found out he was falling in love with Remi earlier, but the man's actions now sealed the deal and locked the key. He was lifted easily,  barely even feeling the movement over the intense emotional waves in his chest. He was still crying but tried to respond: "I-I...I see y-you too." And then there was a pause after I, and Sam felt his whole body tense with anticipation. It came again, then....oh. Well, it was still a lovely sentiment, still made him smile, but...it wasn't quite what he had hoped for and expected. "Thank y-you." He said simply at first and buried his face into Remi's chest, breathing in his scent and listening to his heartbeat. It may have seemed like he was just cuddling but really Sam was gathering his courage. He would have never dreamed of making this kind of move first before, but his new confidence (brought on partly by Remi) allowed him to. Remi had brought the idea to reality and Sam had to finish it. He pulled back and wiped his eyes. "I think y-you should know, Remi... th...that I love you." He meant it, he really did. They hadn't been together long but they'd been through a hell of a lot, and he found himself constantly finding new parts of Remi to adore. An especially kinky bit of hair, his accent on certain words, the colour of his eyes... With a little smile, he let the words float into the moment and waited to see what would happen.
