Heahmund tilts his head when the other asks that question and he looks at him as he does. His hand spreads out over his back.
"I'm not young, my attentions aren't easily swayed, Ivar," Heahmund says in way of answer. He can see more than a few years but Ivar is young and who knows when Ivar would tire of him.
Ivar doesn't answer when Heahmund reassures him he's in this for the long haul. He knows Heahmund always tells him the truth and Ivar is grateful for it.
He loves this man so much it almost hurts sometimes. He knows it's foolish, but he's thought about the future a lot, and he can honestly see himself growing old with Heahmund. Well, older, considering the age gap between them. Their passions, intelligence, and emotions were very similar, all things considered.
Finally, he speaks, eyes still closed. "You really care about me that much?" Ivar's extremely needy, but fortunately Heahmund seems to understand, and provide a near endless amount of support.
Heahmund will give him as many assurances as he needs and about as often as he needs them despite sometimes it being frustrating. It is part of dating and loving Ivar.
