"I'm glad you did," he replies softly, returning his own kiss to the side of Chris' head again in those curls he loves so much. "I wasn't-"

His pause stretches for a moment, then he sighs and lets the weariness soak the edges of his words again. He's not going to keep anything from Chris. He'd asked for his love not to treat him as fragile even if he felt it. Wolfe owes him the same in return. "I wasn't doing well. Haven't been, really. My thoughts scatter and I dwell too long and keeping myself from simply falling apart has been a trial. I mean it when I say it's easier by your side. I've felt so alone recently, this is... Better. So much better."

The relief in his voice is palpable, and even if he can still feel that weight on his chest, it's eased just for being here, curled together in a knot with the man he loves.

Gently, he slides one hand from Chris' shoulders and finds his fingers instead, pressing his thicker digits in between to lace them securely. "I love you too. More than I can ever say. I'm going to spend the rest of this life and all of the next showing you."

He nearly goes tense again when Wolfe seems to hesitate, like he isn't sure he should tell him...but then he does and it stings, it puts a clamp in Chris' throat, but he's glad to have Wolfe tell him, regardless.
He should have been there for his partner more, rather than curling in on himself like a wilted flower.
He should have checked in on Wolfe more instead of assuming he had other supports who could help him or that Chris had done enough.
Wolfe shouldn't need him as much as that, wasn't that dangerous for his mage? Shouldn't he have been able to recover without him? Gods, what if he hadn't even come back from the testing as had happened with some?

Chris takes a deep breath and squeezes Wolfe's fingers and turns his face to kiss Wolfe's cheek, his voice low but steady when he finally speaks.
"I'm looking forward to it. I expect you at my side evermore, my Champion...my love. I promise to be at yours as well...I'll not leave you alone if I can help it."
