"Right, and thanks," The offering was enough to bring a smile to Phil's face as he lets her hand play with his hair, as hurt and ravaged as she was. His fingers laced with hers, a sign of the affection he truly felt for Venus.

When she asked if he wanted to kiss her, it seemed time stopped for Gray. For the last five years, Phone Guy has not allowed himself to get close to anyone, to feel like he deserved a companion after everything that happened back home. He felt the failure breathing down his neck, a manic smile that filled him with fear and revenge, but not this time. He was with someone he cared for, admired even through the ever growing cracks in the starry mask that Milo wore. Phillip Gray finally allows himself to admit the fact that he loves her.

"Yes," Phil answered before his eyes met Milo's, his gaze speaking more than his mouth. Even his tone is that of acceptance and welcome, "I do."
