The larger male pulled back, his eyes taking in the perfectly constructed face of his younger companion.  His image would forever be burned in his memory though this would be more of a happy recollection rather than the several pictures of all those he had killed in the past, no thanks to his genetically enhanced heritage.  It seemed to be an unfortunate aspect that came along with the strength, speed, and stamina.<br/><br/>His eyes turned up to gaze into Brady's as the young man asked the question.  He lifted one dark brow slightly, his thumb moving to trace down the curve in Brady's jaw bone just under his ear.  He slid it further down then across the nurse's cheek over to his bottom lip to gently rub there until he removed it and spoke.  "Of course."  He said plainly while still looking at the smaller man.  He didn't feel the need to explain any more.  It wasn't his way.  It had been so long since he had even thought of becoming close to someone.  He didn't even know why Brady had captured his eye and so quickly at that.<br/><br/>"I am surprised that you do not hold yourself in higher regard.  In all respects, I should be the one asking if you like me.  I am much older than you, and you...well, you could probably be with anyone you wanted though here you are, in my arms.  I am truly grateful for that."  He said deeply, giving Brady a tight squeeze with his arms, perhaps a little too tight before releasing to just hold him comfortably once more.
