[Huaisang's head lifts at that comment and his tone. Brow furrowed with empathy and concern, Huaisang studies his lover's face.] Is he asking that of you?
[Huaisang's still pretty unclear on what 'romantic exclusivity' means to Dorian and what advice he's asking of Huaisang, but he wants to try and help.] It ... it seems to me that if someone loves and accepts you as you are, they would never want you to give up something that brings you great joy, and certainly they wouldn't want to deny you love.
Love is trust and love should have no rules and restrictions, but because people are messy... I think... I think it's likely that he's scared or insecure. He may fear that if you love others, you'll love them more than him and leave him behind. I think it's reasonable to want a life with one bonded partner, someone you wake up beside every morning, someone who watches your back and cradles your heart. I think it's also reasonable to love many people, to give yourself joyously to the people who matter in your life.
You may have to find for yourself where the boundaries are between those two things. What differentiates romance, friendship, brotherhood, and what overlaps between them.
Love him wholly and joyfully, but also remember to protect your heart. If you love him wholly and joyfully and yet he still says it isn't enough, then he doesn't truly love you. If you love him wholly and joyfully and he still says he's scared, then hold his hand and be patient until his trust and love for you overcomes his fear.
[ Dorian sighs, the sound dreamy and any tension that would have been obvious in either his body or on his face is now gone. ]
Oh how I adore you so. [ He's well aware that he hasn't been too clear on what it was he needed advice on, but Huaisang just said it. ] You know, it's not often that I contemplate romances and what it is I truly want- but in these last few weeks that seems to be all I've been thinking about. [ And not completely by choice either. Rhys put him on the spot (not a bad thing) but it was odd to toss feelings into desires and consider relationships.
He presses kisses all over Huaisang's face, humming by the time he finally settles lips on his lover's. ]
[Surprised but delighted by Dorian's reaction, Huaisang giggles, cuddling into his arms and returning some of those sweet kisses.] Dorian!
So I take it that was helpful?
[Squealing with delight at the kisses continuing all over his face, Huaisang moans when Dorian finally claims his lips. Hugging tight, Huaisang presses close, reassured that Dorian really isn't going to let him go.]
Incredibly. [ Dorian responds against Huaisang’s lips. If there’s one thing he’s absolutely certain about, it’s that no matter how much he botches this, he’ll still have this man as a lover. No one has been quite as supportive and considerate of his feelings, desires and whims. Whether it’s conversation, drinks or just feeling and acting pampered, Huaisang is his partner.
He holds a little tighter and keeps up those kisses. ] Thank you.

[Nuzzling at him, Huaisang settles in to cuddle for hours, happy simply to be held in Dorian's arms and loved.]
