Re: In-person: Holly W/Noah N
[Okay, true. But, for Noah, even if it'd been about sex at the start, it evolved pretty fast into something more, and he wanted Holly to get that too.] Would you love me if I was disfigured? [He smiled and he laughed a little when Holly said he wanted to be felt up.] No, but you also gave me some boundaries, man. I couldn't just ignore the stuff you said, just because I felt what you wanted. [It was a line Noah was always trying to walk, really. These days he'd think a lot less about pushing, but in the beginning, it'd been a tightrope walk. Noah turned his face toward Holly's as the dude grinned.] Just my hands, huh? [He spread his fingers, knowing Holly would look at them. Then, he curled them into his palms.
He tried to remember if Holly had told him about Tandy. I mean, he knew? Sort of? So it was possible. But, it was hard to remember if he'd been TOLD or if he'd just osmosis'd it.] Does that make it, like, easier or harder with him? [Noah closed his eyes at the rake of fingers, then laughed at the comment about Aleksi's hole. Amazingly, he didn't say anything else about it.] No, somewhere in the woods, I think. I can ask. [Shifted and facing Holly then (more or less), he looked at the dude.] You're protective of me. [He said that sweetly as he looked at Holly the same. But, with another sniffle, right? Even though he wasn't crying anymore.] I'll stay put. I promise. [He'd try, anyway.]
