Anthony loved affection, Elijah and being held so this was bliss for him. However wonderful this was, however, Anthony was getting pretty tired from standing up like this for so long, though. "Why don't we.....sit or lay down somewhere instead?" Maybe it ruined the magic of the moment but...cuddling while not standing up is better anyways, yeah?

Elijah nodded before the words sunk in. While the bed was closer that suggested too much for things he wasn't prepared for her. So he went to the sofa and sat at one end and gently pulled Anthony down next to him. His arm return around to hold him close and he smiled contently. "Can we spend every day like this ...just a little ?"

Anthony let himself be pulled down next to Elijah, latching onto him and leaning into the touch. It's been a while since he has actually been this affectionate with a person that he cares about, and he wasn't going to let just let it go. "Yes. Absolutely," Anthony decided, before burying his face in Elijah's neck. He could get used to this, really.

Elijah felt ecstatic when Anthony cuddled to his side without any hesitation. When he buried his face into his neck, the taller man almost was frozen by how it felt. He was becoming overwhelmed at how much contact he had and the wonderful feelings of just being held and cared about in such a way. He held him close in both arms as he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. This was perhaps the closest he would ever get to heaven and at that moment it was certainly worth it.

Anthony adjusted the way he was sitting to make himself more comfortable, giving Elijah a small kiss on the jaw before going back to burying his face in his neck again like he loved to do. This could've might as well have been paradise with the way Anthony cherished and enjoyed it so very much—being incredibly touch-starved and loving affection and the person he's with does that to a man. Right now, however, Anthony tried to force all his anxiety away, just cherishing the moment.

Elijah smiled at the little kiss after Anthony moved. He moved his head welcoming the other to resume resting as he had been in his neck. After letting him get comfortable, he slowly rubbed his back. It felt like a soothing gesture to hopefully both of them. He just knew he could get used to this and would not want to stop any time soon.

Anthony sighed contentedly at the soothing touch, closing his eyes after a bit of time, qbsolutely revlling in this moment. For some time, it seemed that everything was alright and there was nothing either of them needed to worry about. Perhaps getting a bit too comfortable, Anthony found himself slowly drifting off to sleep. This was nice. He wished it could last forever, really—but this was good, too.

The feeling was contagious. His moving hand slowed as he too started to drift off. He couldn't have imagined they were together on the sofa for fifteen minutes before he'd fallen asleep as well.

Anthony cherished the moment, bathing in the love and affection he wasn't used to at all as he slowly drifted off. As much as he loved and appreciated this whole thing, though......it was certainly an incredibly odd thing to wake up to in the morning. Not necessarily unpleasant, just odd and unfamiliar. Anthony would be lying if he said that he didn't pretend to still be asleep just so he could cherish the affection even more.

When Elijah woke, he was confused for a moment. He was in the arms of someone and when he looked down everything returned to him. A grin appeared on his face as he enjoyed it a bit longer and even nuzzled into the top of Anthony's head.   

He sadly couldn't just lay there for long so he tried to gently nudge the other man awake. "M-morning.."
