Julien stood back from the semi-cuddle but slid his arms to Alfie's hands, holding them in his own between them. He shrugged back, looking somewhere at Alfie's chest. "I'm not, I mean, I'm not afraid just, I don't want to put you in a position where you have to lie or say something you don't want to." he said, awkward. He really didn't care who knew about them as long as there was a them to know about, but Alfie felt differently and Julien would do what he could to make sure Alfie was always comfortable with them.
