He curves a gentle hand around the side of Ed's neck.

Breakfast - not the answer he was expecting but a nice idea, one that almost normalized the idea of waking up tangled in each others' arms, warm and rested and aching with a different sort of hunger. But it could wait.

The brush of Ed's lips is all he needs for now, the way it fills the hollowness in his chest with a glowing, giddy magic he feels somehow too young and too old for. He smiles, helplessly, into the kiss, eyes still shut when Ed pulls away to talk.

"Well..." A soft stuttering breath slides out of him - the beginnings of a laugh, almost - when Ed's hand closes a little tighter around him. "I'm here, aren't I?"

He licks his lips, quiet and expectant. His lashes tremble faintly.

"You are allowed to move, by the way."

The tongue-flick is more startling than the sweep of Ed's thumb over raw nerves and he rears his head back, eyes blinking his open to the sight of Ed's smile. Thankfully, he isn't given long enough to decide whether being licked offends him or not because they're bumping noses, chins, and kissing again - a slow burn, a gentle wearing down of his defenses - and all is as it should be again. He digs his fingers lightly into Ed's skin, stroking him with his thumb.

"It's a start..." A beat. "Although I would not be opposed if you were to slip your hand in." There's a nervous flexing of muscles in his throat. "Hypothetically speaking, of course."
