We do. I do. I . . . I'm still in the same place. Never quite got around to moving. Sets did though. And all the other people who used to be there. Different roomies these days . . .
[Steve was babbling a little. There were many reasons he hadn't moved, though some he'd never consciously allowed himself to acknowledge. One of them being that he'd wanted to be there in case the impossible happened and James came back to him. Stupid maybe, but it had been in the back of his mind all the same, keeping him in place.
He made a soft sound at James' words and bent his head as the man started to lean in, eyes closing. The muffled sound that came from him at the contact would have been embarrassing with almost anyone else, but it was James. Steve didn't even notice he was weeping, the tears slowly trailing down his cheeks.]
[Steve had been so lonely for so long, it was such a heaven/hell experience. And the guilt could easily crush him if he ever gave it any attention.]
