Yusuf straightened and took his face in his hands and Nicolo wrapped his arms around him to keep himself from trembling too hard. The sudden whiplash of emotions coursing through him was intense and a little surreal and his mind was having trouble sorting through everything to figure out exactly what he should be feeling.
In the end, he gave up trying to figure it out in favor of simply returning those kisses and burying his face in Yusuf's neck so that he could at least keep his tears quiet as he lost control of them. Not that Yusuf would judge him on it, of course, but it was a habit born of their time...and of the house that Nicolo had grown up in, not that he'd told Yusuf a whole lot about it.
"I love you, Yusuf al-Kaysani. Even if you are a stupid, stupid man who could possibly think that I could ever leave you. I love God. He knows that and I will always love Him, but you are my husband. You are my life."
He stayed like that for a good long moment before he finally pulled back a little, hurriedly wiping his eyes on his tunic before looking back at the man. He'd spotted something that was a little tragic.
