Re: House of Strays: Ronan/Ben
[I miss you too. The words cling to his tongue and he wants to roll his hand over, grab onto Ronan's and use it to pull him close, snuggle into the curve of his throat where he can smell Ronan's soap and shampoo and that scent that always clings to his skin, no matter what.
But he doesn't. His eyes squeeze closed as he fights the urge to do all of that, because he can still hear Ronan saying that he did something with someone else - that while he thought it was a dream, there was a real touch and a real human being that he'd done some unknowable something with that Ben refuses to ask about. It won't help to know.]
I don't - I don't - [He hisses and opens his eyes, gaze turning on Ronan because that's the least he deserves, but he doesn't pull away, doesn't break the two points of contact between them.] I miss you and I'm not ready to come back yet. Does that make sense?
