Of course, that only makes Jonas blush even more. He finds it a much less charming trait in himself, even though he's already confessed to his inexperience. It would just be nice if he could at least pretend to be suave.

He would also like to be able to return the compliment, but every word that comes to mind feels clumsy. He lets his kisses do the talking, and if Rupert's looking close enough, he might even catch a fleeting smile. Everything about this is so far from the life he's been living, he briefly forgets who he is and what he's done. The world doesn't exist outside of this bed.
