To be frank? Arthur had never even considered that this relationship with Tony would even turn into a relationship in the first place. He had thought he'd militarize Tony Stark, they'd sleep together and that would be that. Afterward, they'd go their separate ways and he would never hear from the billionaire again. Now? They were years into this and somewhere over time, he had fallen in love with him. Couldn't really imagine what his life would be like without this man.

He smiled softly and slid his hand over his neck. "I can't imagine you begging for anything...," he admitted and leaned in, rubbing his nose against Tony's. He didn't really care how sentimental that was or corny. After Inception, he truly couldn't think of doing another job for another few weeks. He needed some time off. He leaned in and pressed another soft kiss to his lips.

"I love you," he whispered very softly. With the danger of limbo during that job, it really made things extra clear for him about what was important. His job was important, no doubt about it, but this man was just as important if not more so.
