[There's too much in him. Too much static and exhaustion and latent fear and he pulls back to look at Caleb and for a moment his imagination provides what it might look like to see those beautiful eyes go dim. There's too much noise when his chest clenches tight.
He presses forward, an arm sliding around behind Caleb's back while the one in his shirt twists so tight his knuckles go white and Chris leans in to kiss him so maybe he won't notice that Chris' eyes have started to sting.
He should say something. Thank you, to start. I love you is a good option. I'll work on it might be a stretch, but it would be something.
He doesn't say anything, just pours it all into kissing his boyfriend, his oldest friend here. This sweet man he didn't deserve, but would keep close all the same.]
[ Caleb has heard a little of what they've been through and it's enough to set his imagination off. He can only imagine just how bad it really was and how much it's hurt Chris and Nate and others. He might have been left here alone but he hasn't been through everything they have.
So he offers all he can to Chris.
Holding him tight, the kiss fierce and filled with emotions he wants to show to the man he loves. To show him he's here for him, that he'll do whatever he can for him. That no matter what this place does, they have one another.
Barely breaking the kiss, his lips brushing Chris' as he speaks. ]
I love you. I'm here for you.
[ No reassurances that its okay or they'll fix things. Just that he'll be there for Chris and do all he can for him. ]
