[Clinging is also fine. If he's honest with himself, this is one of the things he's missed most about being in a relationship. He likes the intimacy of fooling around and watching someone else come undone solely because he exists and he's doing things. It's a different experience than his past relationship, but somehow this is even more rewarding given how much progress this marks for them.

Watching someone who just a year ago was so locked down and pokerfaced slowly unravel is fascinating and insanely attractive. Why the fuck doesn't he have a third hand to touch himself? Wait, no, that's a weird thought, what the fuck. Okay Egbert, don't be weird.

Dave moaning in his ear doesn't fucking help though and there's a pleased groan low in his throat in response.]

I love you. I love watching you come undone just by my hand and I love having you next to me and I love everything about you, even the parts you haven't fully shared yet. I love them because they're yours and that is all that matters to me. [It's still said in a low and drawn out sort of tone as his hand picks up its pace.] And I love that you finally totally believe me.
