[ Fortunately, Steve's prepared to stick around until that day, and every day after. More than being prepared for it, he wants to stick around. TJ may not have any confidence in himself, but Steve has enough confidence in TJ for the both of them.
He'll prove there's at least one nice thing TJ can keep (though, if you asked him, there are plenty of nice things TJ could keep if he wanted, if he could be convinced he deserves them).
He laughs at the text, smiling all the way to his eyes and showing his teeth, even as the picture hits him with another pang of longing square in the chest. What he wouldn't give to be done with this mission and crawling into TJ's bed and kissing that mouth (or the other thing TJ described, though he'd be more than happy with just kissing). Still grinning to himself, he taps out a response. ]
Sorry, I'm not much of a poet. But I swear you're better than not bad. I could paint a picture in honor of just your mouth and how perfect it is. [ The truth is he's drawn it at least a dozen times, smiling and looking soft and serious and caught between his teeth in that way that drives Steve crazy. ]
