[ James wasn't stupid. Granted, he may have no memory of being gone, but he understood all too well how much time had passed, and he could only imagine how it would have affected him had their roles been reversed. How desperate he would've been to not let Jim out of his sight so easily.
At times he had wondered, admittedly, if Jim would really miss him when he was gone. If he wouldn't just change and adapt and eventually look inwardly and realize how fucked up this was, how much better it was to finally be free of him. So it was with a good measure of relief that he saw how much Jim missed him, and how badly he wanted him close, even now.
So no, he wouldn't be going anywhere else. He didn't want to see anyone else. His arms tightened around Jim, a small smile stretching across his features, soft and warm where Jim couldn't really see it. ]
It's fine, darling, [ He muttered, kissing Jim's temple. ] Let's just stay here a while. Then go back to the house.
