Michael hadn't expected actual words. Whenever he got them from Alex, real ones, not ones denying this and them, they seemed to come with difficulty. So did these, which was why he'd said "show," not "tell." He'd been giving Alex a way out, trying to ask for what he wanted and needed without demanding too much. But Alex had gone the harder route, to the words, even though he looked a bit like a deer in headlights for a few moments.
If he'd been expecting words, those probably wouldn't have been it, even after the I love you. As far as he knew, no one had ever needed him, except maybe Isobel, and that was different.
He'd certainly never actually expected to be Alex's person.
Before he can formulate a response, Alex is kissing him, and Michael can't do anything except kiss him back, wrapping his arms around him more securely and pressing tight against him. He still wasn't sure how to process the whole night, but he didn't want to keep trying. He just wanted to feel Alex, to bask in being loved, and wanted, and needed.
He shifted, rolling onto his back and tugging Alex on top of him, wanting the weight of him pressing him down into the bed. "I need you," he echoed, with a nip at Alex's lower lip.
