[Which isn't just a way to teasingly accept that thanks. Anytime, anywhere, any day of the week, he's more than happy to pour affection and love onto his boyfriend until he's overwhelmed with it.]

You're more important than anyone I've ever done this with. I wanted to make sure you had something that let you know, even if I didn't say it.
