Fingers found their way into his hair, his elbow shifting just so on the mattress until he made it possible. Carding the long digits through soft blonde, he hummed a sound of approval. The fingers on Jim's jaw shifted, the tips tracing over lines of his face with a tender feather light touch. Feeling the warmth of that skin increasing under his fingers, he smiled more, a smile that lit up his eyes and features and furrowed smile lines into the corners of his lips. Making Jim flush for any reason made him... happy.

The tips of his fingers glided up to the lines at the corners of Jim's eyes, tracing each one that pressed into the skin when Jim smiled brightly. He loved that feature. Loved how his eyes seemed brighter and how dark his lashes were making his eyes even bluer at those moments. Impossibly and beautifully blue. Catching Jim's upper lip to nip softly as he pulled away from the second kiss, he arched a brow at the comment that followed.

Leaning in, he brushed his lips over the skin at the corner of one of Jim's eyes where he kissed gently. "I know, darlin'..." He almost added a but until Jim made that last comment. Not that he could put his finger on anything in particular he ever did for Jim, but he wouldn't argue it if Jim said he did.

Lifting up just enough to once more take in the features of his lover's face, he hummed a low soft sound. He curled the strands of hair around his fingers idly before letting a small amount of his body weight press into Jim. "All I want right now, is for you, me and Jo to be a family. I know it's askin' a lot. Probably never thought you'd have to deal with a kid. Much less a thirteen year old... But you're part of me now... You're my family.
