[With that Phoenix's expression seemed to soften, nodding his head in response to Venoms words.]
I can, that, is, I want this. One thing you've probably already gathered from me Venom is that, at least in terms of my emotions, I try to be as transparent as possible. And more than anything in a relationship, I want something based around trust and open communication.
I know part of it may be due to the sheer difference in our age but I'm no spring chicken. I'm looking for something that I know will last. Something I can put my heart and mind into with confidence. Perhaps a bit more than that even, I want something in which I know my partner is mutually happy, genuinely so.
I know the situation is muddy at the moment. Between us still only just getting to know and understand one another, and Miles's involvement in all this, there's far more drama and chaos than I know any of us want.
[Truthfully he still wasn't sure what to do about all that.]
But I do know I care for you, on a level far more than anything that's simply physical. It's because of that that things are the way they currently are. And I do apologize for my inability to make up my mind regarding it all.
[He pauses, his eyes finally breaking away from Venom only to shift down to the side, his hand balling up slightly against the handle of his cup.]
Perhaps that's probably why I absolutely agree with you. A few dates, anyway to just be able to really open up to one another. I think that's all I wanted even back when I first asked you out so many months ago.
