You are good enough for me. You're better than I deserve, but I'm too selfish to give you up. I don't know how I don't drive you crazy. Maybe I do. But you always listen, and you're sweet, and kind, and try your best even if my problem isn't your problem.
[He laughs, even though his chest is tight, and his heart is pounding.]
You're right. Let's eat at home more. I want to cook for you, and I can cook healthy, delicious dishes from all over our world, and you can't find them in any restaurant.
And I do want to run together, even if it's early, and we could join a team-- though I'm very good at sports that involve throwing, and, well... every other type of sport. But I would play at any level for you.
Sometimes you drive me crazy. [ QUICKLY, HE ADDS: ] I mean, in a good way!
You challenge me. I like that. And you're thoughtful, and caring, and the smartest guy I know.
I kinda like everything about you.
[ He might as well just say "I love you." Or at least "I think I love you-- is it too early? I can't tell if it's too early." It's pretty much what he means. ]
Let's do it! Home-cooked meals and team sports! I'm terrible at pretty much all of them, but it's just for fun, right?
[ His heart does a happy flip flop when Cam says that the all-around like levels are mutual. Jeff can't stop grinning, even if Cam can't see it. HE CAN PROBABLY HEAR IT IN JEFF'S VOICE. ]
Then we'll try our best to win! What do you want to start with?

[Cam's thinking the same thing, that he loves this man, and all that's keeping him from saying it is the fear of it being too soon.]
Yes. For fun. I love winning.

[A laugh, he's grinning too.
And no one's going to break Cam's forty-three year streak.]
I don't know, what do you like? I'm partial to baseball, soccer, tennis, swimming, fencing, and boxing.

...baseball? Let's start with baseball.
[ He's good at running! Baseball's a good sport for that! ]

[How is he in a better mood already?]
But tonight, all I want to do is relax.
Preferably on top of you.
