Re: The Return to the Barge

Will rumbles with a hum of agreement. "You were thinking that, too. Once we get that, nothing can take it away from us." With the added benefit of nothing taking them away from each other.

Will closes his own eyes and leans in for a kiss. Slow, gentle...grounding. The sort of kiss that could easily last forever. He knows he's not 'better', and that he won't be back to his now-normal state of 'mostly stable' for a while. But he's feeling settled and well, right now.

"Welcome home, Malcolm," he murmurs against Malcolm's lips.

He smiles a little. "The safe place is where you are," Malcolm murmurs back, sliding his arms up around Will's neck as he kisses him again. "I love you," he says softly in the wake of that kiss.

Every sentence helps him relax a little further. "I love you," Will returns.

They should get back out there, but for once Will's mind completely and utterly rebels at the thought. It's not just that it's a bad idea or that he can't imagine it. His mind won't even bring it up for him, at the moment. Self-preservation actually wins in Will's mind, for once. They're here, the Barge has them, he doesn't care about anything else.

"Do you want your tea, or should we hop back in that shower before you dry off too much?" is the important decision right now.

Malcolm wants to feel Will’s skin against his skin more than all the tea in the universe. He smiles and lets his hands slide down Will’s arms to take his hands before he starts walking backwards, tugging Will with him, but also trusting him to steer because Malcolm’s eyes are on Will’s face, like he needs to soak it in after not seeing it for ages.

It had been minutes.
