He'd dreamed of a moment like this with Ford countless times with but even his avid imagination had not prepared him for the reality of it all.

Ford had shifted position and hand tangled a hand in his hair which allowed for Tycho to sit more upright on the floor that they had been sprawled on. Albeit still underneath Ford which was just fine by Tycho as he deepened their kiss and wrapped his arms around the other mans waist. Had he actually died during the transformation, after all and this was some sort of after life paradise?
