Of Replaceable Lover and First Time Offenders.

And Shannon didn't get his hopes up. He just enjoyed Killian having him at all. And he made sure to call and knock before he went over to Killian's all the time now.

Today Killian had invited Shannon out for dinner at this small sea food place on the edge of town. It didn't look like much but the food was awesome.
Walking into the place, he pressed Shannon to him extra tight.

Shannon was quite proud to have Killian taking him out like this. He leaned into Killian's side as he entered, holding the man's hand, wanting to milk this for all it was worth as they took their seats.

Killian, though he usually liked to scan everyone in the room, managed to keep his eyes exclusively on Shannon.
"Soh loveh, tell meh whats yar pleasure." He offered the boy a menu from the table. "Tha crab claws are good."

Shannon actually noticed this and it was because of this that he was grinning as he glanced down the menu.
"Are they? I prefer oysters and mussels." He nodded lightly, scanning the menu though occasionally glancing over at Killian.

"Anythin' ya want." Killian was rather nervous, he had never asked anyone to go steady, and he was not afraid of being turned down, just he had never done it before...

"Something on your mind?" Shannon arched an eyebrow, his hand reaching to lay atop Killian's across the table.

"Onleh you.". Kiian grinned flirtatiously, his famous go-getter grin. He would have Shannon as his one and onky and he would be happy with that.

Shannon giggled softly at the grin.
"You look nervous." He questioned, his smile bright though.

"Ah guess ya could say tha ah am ah little nervous.". Killian admitted softly, taking Shannon's hand to kiss it softly.

"About what?" Shannon hummed, his cheeks flushing at the man's lips on his hand. "I've never seen you nervous really." He noted lightly.

"Because dearie, ah ave never been really been nervous.". This was just a change for him..."Anyways love, are ya single?"

"Course I am." Shannon nodded lightly. "But that's not important. What's making you nervous?"

"Ah'm gonna ask ah boy out tanight. Ta beh mine an mine aloneh.". Killian's smile was still strikingly gorgeous, but still managing to be goofy.

Those words made his heart ache though he tried not to let it show, practically burying his face in his menu.
"Oh..." He trailed off before speaking again. "Want some advice or something?"

"Sure, gimmeh yar best adviceh." Killian's smile widened at the boy, he adored how Shannon was trying not to see disappointed, not wanting to be a baby about it. "Ah really need et, ah don' know what ah would doh if they turned meh down."

"Well I don't know the person so if they're not into mushy shit it won't work but you should be sweet about it. Most people will have a problem settling with you since you're a manwhore." He smiled softly at the other, sitting his menu down. "Make sure to promise to them that you're done with fucking everyone else. Tell them they're all that matters now. Definitely hold their hand and look them in the eyes. No one can say no to those eyes. Tell them that you love them, if you do.. and tell them why. The little things..." He glanced over at Killian. "Like how you adore how their eyebrows never stop moving." He giggled softly. This was one of the many things he loved about Killian. He continued to list the things he adored about the other. "How you can't stop looking into their eyes that are the most beautiful color you've ever seen. How their every touch makes your heart skip a beat. How good their lips feel against yours... how much you long for them when they're not around... how you'd be content just to lay with them for the rest of your life... how the second you hear their voice you can't stop grinning... how when they look at you in that way that only they can... you feel like you're the only person in the world." He sighed softly, looking down to play with his acrylic nails to distract himself.

Killian blinked over to Shannon, rather stunned actually. Sure he had many people tell him all about his eyes and how sexy his was but no one had ever said anything like that. Shannon seriously loved him, that much was obvious but the way the boy talked about him...
Why had Killian not seen this earlier?
The way he truly felt about Shannon. Love was a fleeting thing in most cases, it came and it went.
But he had loved Shannon since that first night and even now...
Killian reached over, his large hands gently closing around Shannon's much smaller one's as he tilted his head so he could see into Shannon's eyes.
"Alrigh' Dearie, ya know how ah am. Ah am ah total man whore, always ave' been. But then I met this boy and he was realleh gorgeous. Heh was in drag when ah met him, and soh ah jus' figured heh was not as attractive as ah boy but heh proved meh wrong. Heh is stunnin' either way ya look at him. And ets not jus' his looks. Ets the way he giggles when he finds something he likes. Its the way he walks in his high heels, like he is something special and heh knows et. Ah adore tha way he squeals when heh sees his da*n drag race show es on, and how heh spends time with meh doing things besides sex, the sex is great, ah ave' ta add but with hem ah am happy ta jus' sit on tha couch and watch thah show with hem. Ah ah'm happeh because heh tells meh about it with that same adorable smile heh has when heh is particularly pleased. Ah like hes nails, especially when thay are clawin' down mah back. He gives amazin' blow jobs but like ah said again, ah love him fer soh much more than tha amazin' sex. In fact, ah love em soh much thah ah want ta make him mine. Mine and mine aloneh. An ah want hem ta call meh his, ah want ta beh his lover an his man protector. Ah'll beat tha livin' 'ell outta any man who dares ta touch em because heh is mine. Ah want ta beh his knight in shining armor or anything else. Ah can beh anythin' heh wants meh ta beh, anything ta make him happeh soh ah can see thah smile thah light's up heh's face when heh es happeh. An hes eyes, oh his eyes, ah could get lost en em if heh would sit still long enough." The man chucked at the thought, Shannon was so bubbly sometimes you could not physically force him to be still.

Shannon had been prepared to sit through Killian speaking of whoever he'd fallen for, until it became clear he was talking about him. His jaw dropped as he listened to the man talk.
"Killian..." Blood flooded to his cheeks as he picked up his menu and bopped Killian over the head with it. "You're such an ass." He grinned wide before leaning over and kissing Killian square on the lips.

Killian returned the kiss passionately, gently pressing Shannon close as he possible could before he broke the kiss to whine.
"Es thah ah yes then Dearie?"

"That's a hell yes, dearie." Shannon winked lightly, his smile wide as he bounced excitedly in his seat.

"Told ya et was hard ta get em ta sit still." Killian rested his cheek in his hand, staring over to Shannon.
The boy was his...
It felt strangely amazing.

"Well when you get me all excited." Shannon whined softly, trying to sit still just to prove a point though he still had to tap his nails against the tabletop. "You really think all of that?"

"Ah'm not very creativeh." He wiggled his brows at Shannon. "Ah'm an honest man Shannon, ya know thah much love." Killian adored the way the boy still had to be moving something. "Onleh my Princesseh."

"So you really want to be my... boyfriend?" He asked, chewing his lower lip, almost afraid of the answer.
