Spencer's a puppet on a string for you and you just keep playing him. He won't complain either way.

You two were just teetering on the edge of relationship, late nights filled with love and then diamond cutter-shaped heartaches that were oh so sweet when they healed. You were the silver lining in his life, running in his mind even when you two weren't beside eachother.

He can't say it doesn't hurt when he doesn't hear you say you're his. He goes crazy when you're not right there because he doesn't wanna be anywhere you're not. Satisfaction is a distant memory when you're not around, and all he wants to hear is you saying you're his.

But he's almost certain he never will.

What he's trying to say is that he needs the deep end of this love, the intimate, slow and committed end. He's wished away entire lifetimes and he keeps imagining meeting that version of you, the version that he'll spend this lifetime with. He loses track of time and space with you, so it's unfair you two aren't somewhere misbehaving for days on end.

But tonight, tonight he can't help himself. You're together once again, after a hard case on his end and a shitty work day on yours, lips on lips once again.

This time, he doesn't hope you'll ask. This time, he asks the question he's been praying you'll ask.

".. {{user}}.." He whispered against your lips, like a pleading. "Are you.. are you mine?"
