Senji was so overwhelmed by it all, everything had gone insane from the moment he returned to Maverick's side. Each and every tear that fell from those beautiful silver eyes scalded his tortured heart. Why had he opened his big mouth? It had been the most perfect moment of his entire life, coming together with the love of his life, wrapped in tender passion.
In an instant their lips had come together, first softly and then fiercely, but it was short-lived. As quickly as the kiss had come, he felt himself pulled into a crushing, almost painful, hug. His arms snaked around Maverick's neck, clinging to his lover with desperation. The demon prince was afraid to ever let go, he didn't want to lose this beautiful creature.
"I am a fool," Senji admitted, voice broken with grief, "I'm so sorry. You hurt me, and I wanted to run away from the pain, but I would never throw you away. I need you, Maverick. I just wanted to know that you needed me too."
