A night together

Roberto sat in his flat, feelings of loneliness weighing him down.
I don't know what to do without James. He is my everything. My world is missing from my arms, he thought to himself. A Knock on the door interrupted James from his thoughts.
"Who could that be?" he said. As he opened his front door, a warm, familiar face appeared.
"James!" he excitedly gasped, as he let him in and closed the door. James and Roberto hugged, not having seen each other for a month.
"I missed you so much," Roberto exclaimed, a tear sliding down his cheek. James withdrew from the embrace to look into Roberto's eyes.
"I missed you too. More than either of us can imagine," James said, wiping the tear from Roberto's face with his thumb before leaning in for a kiss. Roberto received the kiss passionately, chills running down him.
"I love you," Roberto whispered as they pulled from the kiss. Their foreheads leaned gently together, and they paused to look into eachother's eyes. Roberto examined the spirals of blue in James's eyes, each like a deep galaxy swirling in space. The lovers embraced again, their lips brushing one another's as they were swept into another kiss. As they passionately kissed, James ran his hand up the back of Roberto's shirt, his chilled fingers brushing up his spine.
"I love you too, Roberto," James whispered.
