Anthony squeezed Elijah's hand, revelling in this moment. The word that Elijah used was not lost to Anthony, and he did certainly notice it—perhaps a bit interested in whether Elijah actually meant that or whether he had just fallen victim to bad phrasing as well. Given that the last time there was 'bad phrasing' they ended up coming out to eachother, Anthony was perhaps a bit more hopeful than he should have been. "It seems that our relationship will last for quite a long time, then," he said. A small part of him hoped Elijah did just phrase it wrong, but.....a bigger part of him forced the worry away however difficult it was. This time is different, Elijah is different.
