"I believe," Steve murmurs, slowly nuzzling Orpheus's face, "that you have taught me more about love than a thousand books and songs ever could. And I believe that there are sides to you that you've shown no one but me for a thousand years. I believe your faith in your gods is a beautiful thing, and I believe that as much as I love your for your music I love you for your goodness and gentleness so much more. I believe that having you in my life has given me a place to call home when I lost everything else. I believe you are my center, and without you I'd be adrift and lost."
