"Work on yourself for what exactly?" Matteo demanded. He refused to stand, instead reaching out to wrap his arms tightly around Adrian's waist, burying his face against Adrian's stomach before looking up at him from his knees.
"What is wrong, Adrian? Whatever I did, I am so fucking sorry. Please, baby. Talk to me. I will apologize to you thousands of times until you forgive me, just please tell me what is hurting you."
The dam finally broke.
Adrian couldn't hold back the suffocating weight any longer.
Tears streamed down his face as he looked down at his kneeling boyfriend, his voice cracking with pure agony.
"Do you... Do you think I'm boring?"
Matteo's breath hitched. "No, baby. Absolutely not."
"No, you think I'm lazy and that I can't handle you," Adrian cried, his shoulders shaking with emotion.
Matteo's eyes widened in disbelief. "No, baby. What are you talking about?"
Adrian wiped his tears, but they kept falling.
