Nodding with a small sigh of relief, the Titan tilted his head a bit, closing his eyes and resting fully. The tension seeped out again, the large man contented with the answer. It wasn't that he wanted to keep things, only that he needed time to sort them out and understand them. He could easily be honest about his desires, they knew that much, but he wanted to piece together what those feelings and ideas were before voicing anything half cocked.

"I'm just...afraid. I don't mean to seem like a coward. These feelings are strange to me, and make me uncomfortable for reasons I can't fully understand, and so can't properly explain. That, and I don't want to make you uncomfortable, either, when we've only just figured this much out. I could be happy like this, forever, but I know...at least a part of you wouldn't be happy with just this. I'll try. I promise."
