Colin didn't care if he was being squeezed too tight. It was good. He liked being squeezed. It felt better. He just relaxed against Zach. Zach wasn't angry with him and he was glad. Oh, Merlin, he was glad. "I love you, too. I do. I do. I do." He almost said something about the fact that he sounded like he was getting married.
"I didn't mean to say anything very bad. I just- I was worried and Justin can't-" He pulled away after a moment, looking down. "We talked and I thought...well, I thought you might want me to hide because of your dad and I didn't want to hide...but I told him I loved you...and he was very upset. He's still very sad. I looked in my camera." He frowned a little at that. "I'm sorry."
After a moment, he looked at Zach again. "Sitting. We should sit." So he moved to sit down, not wanting to stand right now. He just felt tired again. "I'm glad you still love me. I don't really like all this growing up. Dennis and I are going to see Mum and Dad soon. We're going to stay at our house, though. Maybe we'll get it attached to the floo." Now this was like avoiding the real issues. "Why don't we...umm...talk about everything."
