"So now you see why I try so hard to keep our private life private for now," Heahmund said and there's a gentleness to his voice. He would like to be able to give into Ivar. There's no shame when it comes to their relationship and his decisions are made out of logic and pragmaticism and a look at their relationship in the long term and not just instant gratification of now.
Age gave him the luxury to have that point of view.
Ivar knows that he's all but got Heahmund wrapped around his finger on just about everything but this one issue. Anything he wants, Heahmund eventually ends up giving in, and letting him have it. He leans over, tracing his fingers lightly over Heahmund's arm and then up the side of his neck to his face.
"You must really love me to put up with so much," he says, words light but with a heavier tone behind them. Ivar's never had anyone who wasn't his parents or Floki who cared for him this much.
"Of course I do," Heahmund smiles briefly. There's an incline in his head to glance at Ivar as he's driving. The traffic becomes a little more thick as they approach the theater and he turns his head to press his lips to Ivar's fingers briefly when they slow to a stop momentarily close to where they need to turn off to the brewhouse theater.
"Do you not really love me as well?" it's somewhat teasing.
There's something so very comforting to Heahmund's words, a solidness that Ivar craves after a lifetime of having the people he cares about leave him alone when he seemed to need them most. It was a promise that Heahmund would never leave him if he could help it.
Ivar leans all the way over, kissing Heahmund on the edge of the mouth. "You already know the answer to that," Ivar says. He loves Heahmund so much and he doesn't see that changing anytime soon. He wants Heahmund around for the long haul.
