Elijah blinked and frowned a little. He took his face in his cheeks and stared into his eyes. "Never get into a fight or try to help me. It's my job, not yours. I'm grateful you care and worry, but I'd never forgive myself if you got hurt. You're a good and beautiful man. I am so lucky to have you in my life. I don't want to risk losing you. So never ever think you should try to protect me.. " He hugged him and buried his face into his neck.
