“hello, beautiful angel,” he greets, matching seojoon’s smirk with a tender smile. he doesn’t offer him anything other than a place to sit on the cushy sofa. he settles down beside him and rests against the backrest of the couch.
it’s quiet for a moment before emrys breaks the silence. “how are you?” he starts, and then, “you are quite early, so i have to admit to being a bit worried — are you well?” he reaches for seojoon’s hand.
it’s like being pushed into the sea, salty and sun warm near the surface, and everything goes quiet. even his heartbeat calms to a dull thud, slower than usual and his lashes flutter closed in a long blink as he floods past the door into the room like all the water drained. && he can hear again, the gentle smile emrys gives him is a sore sight. he sinks down into plush cushions and thinks how this place is always changing. everything has a life of its’ own, a presence. it’s familiar in a way he craves right now. gazing around absently, he spots the differences, takes note of what’s grown, what’s displaced, the curious curl of plants in the denotation of life they whisper. low the voice draws his attention. “nothing to worry about,” his words are a croak, so he clears raw emotion from his lungs and tries again. “nothing more than usual.” he revises, rearranges palms and moves so that fingers lace and he pulls emry’s slender arm lightly to bring them closer together, feel the warmth. “i didn’t really wanna be alone. you know i’m a total fucking baby when it comes to this. plus, you’re the only person who doesn’t look at me like an idiot or try to jump my bones,” he chuckles, it lacks conviction or humor, mostly composed of a spiteful melody. he smiles gently, tired but genuine, lifts the hand in his without breaking eye contact and lays a small kiss to the back of emry’s hand. “did i interrupt you, baby? i can totally get fucking lost if i’m crashing. have you been doing alright since we last spoke?” dropping their hands he rubs his thumb over warm skin idly. ending things between them was difficult, still is, almost every day. but at least he still has this.
