James had spent time worshipping every inch of Connor before taking him to bliss. All the time, one thought ran through his mind – why would Connor turn down those offers to stay with him? James knew he'd hurt Connor with his lies and what did he truly have to offer him? He was middle-aged, snarky and had a blood-sucking ex-wife.

A soft kiss pressed against his shoulder, before Connor asked sleepily, “What's wrong, James?”

James sighed, but he'd vowed to tell Connor the truth, as much as he could. “I don't understand how you'd give up your dreams for me.”

OMG! *melts* Oh, this was lovely and hot and I love that Connor knows when James is upset and that James is willing to tell him the truth about what he's feeling.
and the answer is, because he loves you, Connor, because he loves you.

*bows* Good to know it worked. James messed up and is trying to make amends, but has to worry about it all.

Thanks for reading.

Poor James; he really doesn't understand, does he?
*pets*

Not really, he doesn't think he's worth Connor giving his dream up for him.

Thanks for reading.

Oh, James! For a supposedly intelligent man, he's being remarkably stupid about this!

You do know James is glaring at you now ;) He's just doesn't see why Connor would stay with him rather than chase his dreams.

Thanks for reading.

Glad Lester's being honest - now Connor can reassure him

Lester has learnt his lesson, he almost lost Connor because he lied. I'm sure Connor will reassure him ;)

Thanks for reading.

James is trying, but he can't help worry.

Thanks for reading.

The boys have realised that, now they just have to remember it.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Aww, James- you really don't understand what you mean to him.

Sweet drabble.

No he doesn't, but I'm sure Connor can prove it to him.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Good to know it worked, poor Lester just doesn't understand how Connor wants to stay with him after his mistakes.

Thanks for reading.

For a moment there I thought Lester wasn't going to tell him, it's good that he decided to be honest with him.

Lester has learnt his lesson, and will be as honest as he can be with Connor.

Thanks for reading.

Definitely, but James just has to worry.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

*g* This makes my shippy heart beat faster - finally they're talking. (Not to mention doing all that other stuff!)

Glad you liked the boys talking (and more).

Thanks for reading.

At least he spoke up and didn't pretend there was nothing wrong. Glad they are communicating well, even if they both have a ton of issues.

James has also learnt they need to talk. I'm sure they'll solve their issues, once Burton's dealt with.

Thanks for reading.
