You're really into that whole vulnerability thing.

[That's not a bad thing, especially given Crow's own desires. He wants to be left open as much as Rean wants to see him that way. It's sort of hard to get there on his own, though.

Having his guard up, huh? He supposes he really does. He doesn't know how not to. Even now he's sinking down in the water again, trying to get back into it but feeling a little like the door between them is a wall. There's nothing keeping him from running away, in here. He really wants Rean to hold him. Not even hold him down, he just wants to be held. To feel safe.

It's weird, because Rean's voice is extremely arousing. The idea that Rean really thinks about him that way is so gratifying, it makes Crow feel warm all over. At the same time, though, he feels a little frustrated and on-edge, knowing he's not allowed just yet to get up and go actually touch Rean. He's doing a really poor job of putting that aforementioned guard down.

He has to remind himself not to just sit there feeling complicated. Rean can't see him, so he has to speak up.]

...I want all that too, though.

[He laughs, a little pitifully.]

I'm really dying to come out there. I want to see you right now.
