Yusuf had no words which worked out because Nicolo had all the perfect ones. He blinked at his lover and friend as he spoke and only closed his eyes once his ear was pressed to Nicolo's chest. Half of his heart. That was half of his heart in there. In his husband.
Tears fell out of his eyes as he stayed there for a second just holding Nicolo and listening to his heart. Finally his head turned and he pressed a kiss over that strong beat. His forehead pressed to it before he finally looked up and saw tears to match his own.
"God was always first. I knew that," he explained. "You told me that very first day that I would be second and I accepted it. To know now...the sacrifice you made for me... Because of me..."
He lost his words once more. Luckily he could also be a man of action. Yusuf straightened up and cradled Nicolo's face as he pressed their lips together. One kiss bleeding into two and into three as he refused to pull away.
"I love you, Nicolo di Genova. I love you more than there is sand in the desert. More than flowers love the sun. You are everything, maío. Everything."
