He might as well have pulled the beating heart from his own chest and handed it to you, Kitten. What can you hand him in turn?
How about vulnerability? That thing you show no one. That thing he caught a glimpse of when he kissed you in that cage of ice, snow, and berries. That thing he desperately wants to see and feel again. The thing that, if you'd let him, he'd protect with his life.
It takes courage to show it, Kitten. Just as it took courage for him to care. You've matched swords and wits with him. Are you willing to match hearts as well?
AND NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBORNE Z! Ulfric and Iona continue to stare at each other and scream while Galmar does something stupid and brave and gets cut in half by the Ginyu Force. Beerus gets angry because Khajiit don't have pudding cups. Ralof and Adrian do a very drunken and awkward Fusion Dance.

The first half reminds me of a scene from Stephen Lawhead's "Song of Albion" series.
After defeating an opponent at a warrior school the main character is surprised when he finds him at dinner and tosses a gold torc at him. (Some sort of neck adornment) He had an arrangement with his father. He was to give the torc to the first man to beat him. He was also never to come home without it. The main character offers it back, offending the first guy until he explains.
"I want to give you a gift of equal value, and this is the only thing I have."
By doing so the opponent met his father's conditions, kept his honour, and was able to stay in line to the family holdings.
The guys in the story did not kiss, so the second half of this page doesn't fit.
Still, it was a good series. Well written to the point that putting the book down at the end of my lunch break felt like waking from a dream. Should you be interested.
