So featherlight, like a caress. Matt wasn't touch-starved, he got plenty of affection from his loved ones, but he always welcomed more. This however was different. More intimate in some way, despite not necessarily being romantic. It was just... loving. Pure and unquestioned. Matt let out a small sigh, eyes closed, leaning a little into Kate's fingertips like it felt good. Which it did.
"Maybe don't think of it in terms of cheating," he said softly, "But instead just let it enhance what's normal for you. It's okay not to see things exactly as I do. Just as I can't see things exactly as you do. Maybe what matters is understanding what we can and finding a middle ground for both of us. I like sharing this with you. I like you knowing me as you do. Sight and all."
His hand came to rest on her shoulder, his other one on Lucky's head. His heartbeat quickened with her touches, a warmth settling over him that made him feel connected and at peace.
"I like my partner knowing me."
It came out like a soft murmur, as he hesitantly let his fingers move from her shoulder up to her own face. He didn't stroke over it all, just let his thumb lightly brush against her cheekbone. To rest at her pulse point on her neck, feeling her heartbeat.
