Nate always knows what he needs. Anders needs to know he's not taking and taking without giving something back in return, because he loves Nate and is afraid of doing that to him.

"You complement me. ...And I complement you." That feels healthy. He likes something that feels healthy, just as much as he likes the feel of Nate's hand on his cock. Anders closes his eyes for a moment, relaxing and simply enjoying the knowing touch.

"I love you, Nate." The archer's right. Anders can't help but show how he feels, and he's so glad to have a place where he's safe to show it. "I'm so glad we found each other again." His cock is waking up in Nate's hand, whole body warming, and Anders opens his eyes again to meet Nate's beautiful grey ones. He reaches down to brush Nate's hair back. They make each other feel loved, even after he's let his fears flare up again.
