[Another deep breath steadies the vampire and the worst of the memories start to fade back into the deeper recesses of his mind. They will never leave. His long life stays with him always, another curse of his kind. All of his memories will always remain with him for as long as he shall walk this earth, which now that all of the white oak is gone looks to be forever.
Kol was looking for no words of kindness, no remission of his sins. He bore his guilt and wore the sins on his soul. It was a relief knowing he had families around him that understood the pain that their kind could feel,and that there were others out there that worked to keep from hurting others carelessly.
Turning in towards Edward further, Kol brushes against his shoulder and then brings their faces closer. He searches Edward's eyes and the compassion there withers his heart. He hasn't let anyone touch him this deeply since Davina, and now this friendship... ]
You have me, and I have you.
[This time when Kol reaches out he brings his nose in close and brushes it against the side of Edward's cheek. It's been so long since he's thought about gender being a thing in relationships that he doesn't stop to think about Edward being one way or another. He only wants to be close to someone right now, to be close to Edward right now. It's more than his attraction earlier. This is about the vulnerability that they've each shared.
He tips his head to the side and whispers his lips against Edwards, and then pauses.]
