Xaloc took Jamal's right palm, placing it against his heart, "Don't beat yourself about the past. I might have the world but I love you. Jamal, I don't have a heart that is shining or pure, it's crumbled, dark and selfish. Would you still want it? Would you still stay with me?"
Jamal smiled, his hand feeling the powerful beats of Xaloc's heart, "Dom you still remember what I told you in Delos? I will always love you Xaloc, even in the future, as long as you let me, no even if you don't let me, Xaloc, I will continue to love you. My heart would never beat for someone like this again. My words have not yet changed, as long as you give it to me, I would accept it with all joy. I would stay with you forever, I won't go anywhere again."
He watched as a layer of gold dusted Xaloc's cheeks, spreading past his ears and neck with a wide grin. Why on earth did he like seeing Xaloc so embarrassed? His fingers itched, he wanted to paint and capture this forever.
