“Wow.”

It didn’t take very long, nothing beyond a second, to recognize that face before him. This felt like a huge blip in the system, something he shouldn’t really be doing. But he had been breaking the time rules for too long.

       “How’re you doin’ kid?”

There are only a few times that James has felt real hope since he fell into the multiverse but this is one of those times. He chuckled. 

“I’m doing better now...but how are you?”

@engiild replied to your post “           No.”

How about yes?

No.

       “What trouble have you gotten into, huh? Must have been somethin’ serious if you’re coming to me.” He’s joking, of course. Eli knows full well James doesn’t need an excuse to come see him from time to time. But he sorely wishes the older man wouldn’t make such a big entrance every single time.

I never would have imagined myself looking to him with the amount of affection that I do. Attraction, yes, friendship even, perhaps. This however, this is different. This is... much more than that. I think I might--

He’s loyal, genuine, and oh so very sad. I see it in the way his shoulders drop when he thinks I’m not looking. I taste it on his tongue when he kisses me and tries to forget what he’s running away from. I feel it when his breath hitches as he sleeps against me, lips against the back of my neck.

I’m afraid to know if his thoughts align with mine. If they don’t... the thought alone pains me beyond anything I’ve ever known before.
