He'd felt deliciously free, oddly, trapped the way he was between the tree and Alfie. He felt like he could give everything up and still be safe, be okay because Alfie was the one holding him there.
He blinked back and used the tree gratefully to keep himself up. "I- I wanted you to." he stammered, still out of breath.
