"Oh?" Mingyu challenged, finding his voice again as he pulled back to meet Fox's gaze once more, always, always falling a little more in love with him with every breath, with every word Fox spoke, with every moment spent together like this. Just remembering what an irrepressible little thief Fox was made him laugh, made him want to be stolen more than anything.
"You'd do that to have me?" Once Fox speaks it, Mingyu knew it to be true. It was a far more romantic thing to be something hard-won rather than heaven-granted. All this time, all the superficial love and adoration lain at his feet, no one ever cared enough to see him for who he was. With Fox—
He believed it. He believed it wholeheartedly. That he was something Fox would pursue.
"Promise me," he went on, voice tight and low. "Promise me you'll remember that. Promise me you'll do what it takes to have me, to chase me to the ends of the world if you have to."
Smiling, he took Fox's hand and pressed it over his heart.

"Be my Orpheus. Am I worth that much to you?"
