@abasedetective - glanced away a bit. Bradley did not value himself high. A medically discharged army vet who had been in the VA rehabilitation centre for a long while, barely made his way back to the real world. He thought no one would want him.

@abasedetective That confession along with the hand kiss made him smile and blush a bit, but he would deny the blushing, "oh wow, I love you a lot too and I have never had to put up with you, you are amazing. It's you who have to put up with me... being me," he murmured softly and -
@abasedetective He smiled softly, "okay, I will try next time if it happens, I just do not want you to feel bad about it, okay?" he stated softly and took his hand after that kiss. "Let's go and explore the place now?"
@westcoastism Bradley smiled a little and waved his hand, "I mean, a little bit yes, but it is fine. I get it and of course, I did not mean to make fun of you for liking the octopus either," he did not want CJ to feel bad about the how he reacted to things sometimes.

@westcoastism Bradley shook his head softly, "hey, that's totally fine, it was just an offer. Not everyone's cup of tea. Besides I can go with my colleagues too, I started to get to know them better, it would be nice bonding too," he smiled softly, "but if you like football we -

"Hey there," he beamed and greeted CJ with a soft kiss, now that they were boyfriends.
