If you've got a free Sunday this weekend. ( not a question, just like Alit's wasn't. )
[Alit isn't used to seeing Michael so open and accessible -- not that they ever had a particular need to be covert anymore. But even through the screen, he shines impassionedly and Alit thinks he could get used to it.]
Even if I didn't, I can make time if it's for you.
( not a single tinge of doubt, he's just talking now, which actually requires some effort, he must speak through the soreness from his smile. it's an attempt to match Alit's smugness but what kind of a competitor--with no experience to speak of--can he be? he has no practise with holding himself back from bliss. )
Then I'll just have to hold you to it. For both our pleasures.
