Every time Billy said he loved him Rik felt faint. It was a mix of fluttering heart because he really liked Billy and panic because it was way too much too fast. Rik sighs and takes Billy's hand before sitting heavily on the bed.

"Stop worrying." He says at first but the looks up at Billy curiously. Billy was way out of his normal behavior when getting involved with someone. "You don't have to think about other people. It takes me a long time to let people even touch me usually. I don't like strangers touching or kissing me."

The Dane is still visibly nervous as he realize it is moving a little too fast but the fear in Billy's eyes make his head shake. "I'm not running away but it might take me longer to say...."

Now Rik is scared that he has said something wrong. His eyes widened and his palm started to sweat. His past causes him to worry so much about doing the wrong thing. "Just..."

He looked down at their hands and bit nervously at his lip. "Well... wait for me. I promise I'll catch up."

The truth is he is feeling confused. His heart pounded every time the Brit was close and felt devastated any time he thought about the fact that they might be separated for months. At the same time, the idea of someone clinging to him this tightly so soon was off putting.
