His smile grows. He had really hoped Yuan would say that! The little bite on his lip was cute too, since he knows it's nerves and it's so unnecessary. He moves his hand back just a bit so he can keep all of Yuan's focus on his words for the moment.

Not even twenty minutes ago he'd had mad anxiety over sharing what he was feeling, but here in Yuan's presence he feels so confident- so sure. He knows and trusts the emotion. He may have been wrong to believe before, but this is different, he's certain.

"Stay with me, A-Yuan. Don't ever go back to that life. Stay and be mine."
