Yeah? [Corrigan goes impossibly soft, eyes warm and almost worshipful as he cradles Junpei's face in his hands. There's a protectiveness there too, eyes flickering briefly to the scars he's only caught glimpses of, his brow furrowing momentarily.

Then he leans in, kisses Junpei again, arms sliding around his slim waist, pulling him close.] I'm gonna do my damn best. Never gonna let anyone or anything hurt either of you, ever again. I swear. Gonna be a better dad than mine was.

[His voice drops, mouth warm and insistent against Junpei's throat.] I'm not letting you go. As long as you'll have me, I'm here.
