afraid to touch him in fear that he might not want to let go of the other man, he instead keeps his hands there at the man's elbows. gentle. soft. eyes remaining closed as he just stays there like that crouched in front of him of the apartment that he's known for the past nearly six months now. )
You know you can't lie to me, right?
( the words are soft β an attempt at something lighter than the heaviness this conversation and everything surrounding it feels, but. also a truth, one which he softly gives to the other in regards to how he's doing and how he will be. )
