Re: Museum: Connor and Ragnar
"No. I may just call him Stan, now. He can be a Stan. I doubt that he will notice the change."
Athelstan was right that it was a necessity to touch. He had been able to do as much in his dream, true, but this was different. Ragnar knew that he was awake.
"It is hard to believe- it is hard to believe I have you, let alone you not leaving me. But you have always come back to me, haven't you?" Ragnar can't stop looking, can't stop staring at the man standing before him. "You have somewhere safe to stay? Did you find your brother?" He wanted to know Athelstan was comfortable.
A smile curled up on his lips. "You have not changed. You are still-" as beautiful as he had been when Ragnar had first taken him home. "-you are still you." Ragnar blinked, not at all ashamed that his eyes were shining with tears. He cleared his throat. "How long do I have you now? Today?"
