Steve opened his mouth then snapped it shut, looking away to glare at the wall. He was quiet, just standing there as he fought with himself. There was so much he wanted to say, none of it very kind, but all it would do would be to push James away. The man needed him, wanted to be with him, that much was obvious. But was it enough? Could he live with so many secrets between them, where James wouldn't even give him the basics when the man showed up all but blacked out? Did James trust him so little? Didn't the man know he'd do anything anything for James? For god's sake, he was planning to try and go to James' world with him, whether the man wanted him or not. Even if all he could ever do was watch James' back there, it'd be worth it. Painful no doubt, but worth it.
He growled deep in his chest, whipping back around to face James, his free hand wrapping around the man's nape as his mouth crashed down on James'. When Steve came up for air, he spoke against the man's mouth, James still clutched tight against him, "You leave here over my dead body. If you want me, you have me James, always. Just . . . just get in the fucking shower. I'll be there in a minute." He pushed the man towards the bathroom door, gently, and headed for the rest of the suite, needing a second lest he say something to fuck everything up.
