Re: Holly's place: Holly/ Noah
Holly had a hard time with Noah's ability, right? Not like a hard time with it existing, but a hard time grasping it. Maybe it was that he was so closed down, but he did get that it fucked with the guy. Not just, his, Holly's, stuff, but stuff in general, the town and everyone in it. He got that. It worried him, right? He worried a lot about his effect on the guy, and that was totally part of why he wanted to know how it was for Noah while he, Holly, was going through shit in the facility. Because, sure, Noah hadn't physically been there, but Holly did get that it wasn't actually that easy, and that it wasn't that cut and dry.
But Noah was close, and, god, it felt so fucking amazing. So, yeah, Holly nuzzled back, let himself feel the guy's heat, how solid Noah was. He let the half-dose of the painkiller numb his arm. He sunk deep into the bed, and he listened. And, okay, so he was quiet for most of it. He was doing okay with the listening, he was, until the end. He stiffened slightly, and worry started massively spiking in his head. "Okay," he said, and he didn't ask why Noah had met Ren at his mom's. "How was that?" he asked, keeping it way casual. "And I know you felt it, right? Don't downplay it for me. Knowing is important, you know, for me. Explain 'yeeting out of your body." Beat. "Were you okay to drive after, or...?"
