Body shivered underneath the touch, it was the closest anyone had been allowed to him in at least two weeks of a harsh reality. There was a hesitation still, even if he wanted the comfort provided by the one who was so clearly his other half. For the first time in a long time, he felt shame that had been such a long, distance memory. However, standing there revealing it in - it was more familiar friend than it ever had been fleeting. Sharp inhale was obvious, but there was just the hint of a grin flirting at the corner of his mouth when ears were graced with the tone. The demand, the possessiveness. “Mm.” Hummed, content to pretend that - nothing had changed, everything was still very much the same. “Was that a rule?”
It was only at the change of pace, the hand around his throat that made it more than obvious he wasn’t getting off that easy. “No one.” It was a defaulted, rehearsed answer at the very best. He’d failed to prepare anything better, maybe he was foolish enough to think that he could have avoided the other long enough that he’d forget about them, about this - even if that version of reality made him ache far worse than physical wound.
