Of course I am. [Immediate. Of course he's happy. Of course he's here because of how Matt makes him feel. There's no question there.] I love you.
[And... in the trend of honesty... he takes a deep breath.]
I am afraid of messing this up. Of losing you, or ... doing the same thing I did before. I won't lie about that. But that's not why I'm still with you. [He's basically kneeling in front of him, while he says it. Gripping Matt's hands.] I'm with you, because I want to be. Because I love you. Because... I don't feel like I have to be someone else.
And if I need to remind you more often, then I will.
