[ he lets david pull him a little closer - if he wasn't interested, or didn't care to let david have that kind of leeway, it'd take a lot more than a tug to get him moving. ]
Then you gotta pay.
[ also mostly a joke. more an implication. now that they're close enough, he gets a hand on david, up at his neck to tilt his head back. all the bruises are long since gone, and not just because of time. there's more than a few downsides to the way this place heals.
but there's upsides, too. he presses his thumb over the pulse, feels the heartbeat, knows he can just leave more marks. more bruises. more anything. ]
