Re: Holly's place: Holly/ Noah
The fears weren't irrational though, were they? Unfounded fears meant they had no legs to stand on, dude, and seeing as Holly had just been literally shot... it was founded. Maybe he knew the sounds weren't guns, like, if he thought about it, but that didn't make the fear irrational. It was like one of the worst things Noah had ever second-handedly experienced, beat only by a couple other things like when he'd sort of felt someone who was crashing their car and then they fucking died when he was 11 or 12. That had fucked him up. This was messed up too. Massively. So, even though Noah was jumping at things because he knew Holly's fears were heightened, it all made sense to him.
Noah let Holly scoot backward, taking all the time he needed, but he hadn't expected the dude to do the upsell. (Or what Noah thought was an upsell in his mind.) He had just taken a breath to sigh contentedly when Holly looked down at him. Noah let the air blow through his lips. "Okay," he promised, and then, as Holly laid down, Noah buckled up behind him, knees to the backs of knees, cock to ass, chest to back. Noah brought his arm around Holly as the dude reached for him, and lacing his fingers with Holly's, he brought his hand to the dude's chest. He sighed into Holly's hair. "You feel good," Noah told him, digging his nose against the back of Holly's skull. "I missed you." Noah felt more protective of the dude too. Not that he normally didn't. But, especially now. And all he wanted, man, was to make sure the dude was okay. He snuggled closer, until 'closer' was an impossibility.
Finally, as he'd promised, he thought back to the other night. "It was scary. But, even saying that, it's like, it was way scarier for you. You were the one there. I just knew something was happening at the facility and I could feel you, right? But, at first, it was this bad feeling. That something was going to happen. And I just felt panicked."
