[Oh. That's - that's not even on the list of possible responses Tim's expecting to hear, and it's jarring enough to cut through the pleasurable sensations of Jason's mouth moving down his stomach.]

Jason ...

[As nice as this feels, it's time to apply the brakes. This is too important to have misunderstood. Tim reaches for Jason's hand with one of his own to call a halt to undoing his pants; the other brushes along Jason's face, coaxing him to look up at Tim as he pushes himself back up to sitting, mouth pursed in thought. Does he really not know?]

I already do. Don't you know that?

[Maybe he doesn't; it's not as if Tim's actually told him as much before. Maybe that was a mistake on Tim's part, assuming Jason would know. Maybe he should've said something before now.]

You don't have to do this to get me to love you - I've loved you for a long time.
