Chapter 3
Kevin nodded slowly. "Love." He repeated, for his own understanding. "I know that, Tod. Believe me, I do. I'm just... I don't think I'm capable of giving you everything you deserve. But I selfishly want you to be my husband, regardless." "You're impossible." Todrick chuckled again. "Let me try, once more." He sat up, and moved to be on top of Kevin's thighs, his hands finding Kevin's once again, their eyes locked. "Is this okay?" Kevin squinted at him, looking for some kind of figurative language, though he found none. "Yes." "Betas are the least susceptible to understanding the concept of love. In fact, we struggle with understanding the concept of not understanding the concept of love. Are you with me so far?" "No. But continue." "That's why you were afraid of it, when I first met you. Because it was one of the only things you couldn't wrap your head around. So it terrified you. But as a Beta that has witnessed an Omega fall in and out of love, before falling back in... Let me tell you; it's not something you can understand, because it's something you have to feel." "I don't understand where you're going with this." Kevin replied honestly. "Stop trying to put a definition to it. You're thinking too much. I don't have to understand love, to know that I am utterly, without a single doubt, in love with you." Kevin stared at him, his invitation to continue.
Todrick smiled at him. "Love is not perfect. It's about compromise. It's about... Being happy. And that isn't something you can research, or understand. Scott and Mitch function in a different way than Travis and Alex did. But both couples had love in between them, unconditionally." Kevin took a deep breath to absorb what he was saying, and he nodded again. "I understand." "No you don't. And you're not supposed to. I don't understand it either. Let go of your own understanding, Kevin. It's not enough this time." Kevin was quiet for a second. "You sound like you're trying to make me afraid of it again." "There's an easy solution to that; Are you afraid of me?" "No." "I trust you. Do you trust me?" "Of course." "I'm in love with you. Are you in love with me?" "Yes." Todrick's smile grew, and then he leaned down to kiss him once, pulling away to stare into Kevin's eyes. "That's all we need to know." ********
