Re: in-person: holly/noah
[Okay, maybe it was more fair to say that Holly was worried, okay? He was worried about the effect of what had happened to him on Noah. Like, he was concerned, right? Because Noah had already had a really hard year, and this shit wasn't going to make it better, right? He wanted to help, you know, not be the cause of Noah worrying or having nightmares about creatures under the town. Instead, Noah was wrinkling his nose and looking so fucking adorable, and Holly laughed a little bit at Noah's permission to be fickle.] Thank you. [Deadpan. Like, legitimate deadpan, and with Holly? That was a good sign.
And then there was moving and moving, and it was slow going? But Holly was crazy-careful. He wasn't interested in having any more pain than was absolutely necessary, and Noah was pretty fucking solid and strong, so Holly could lean on him a lot. And did he let Noah help him onto the bed? Fuck, yes. He wasn't interested in being a stubborn pain martyr, okay? So, yeah, he flopped back onto his back, and he pointed at the opposite side of the bed. As in, Noah should go there.]
