Troy placed his index finger over Lazul's lips softly "Shhhh. I'm not mad at you Laz. I don't want you to leave, either... Quite the opposite." Troy said softly, letting his finger fall from Lazul's lips and gently tucking underneath his chin to lift his head up a little "I want you to stay... With the pack... With *me*, for as long as you wish."

Troy took a slow and deep breath before he moved forward, keeping his movements slow and steady. He placed his lips over Lazul's and slid his hand from Lazul's chin up to his cheek, holding the soft flesh in the palm of his own hand as he gently kissed Lazul - he didn't dare deepen it, not wanting to further scare Lazul off, but he did smile into the kiss and after as he pulled back and looked into the other's eyes "I don't want you to leave, Laz." he whispered, voice a little strained with a rather unfamiliar emotion.
