Zeph didn't move to reciprocate the hug and Sam was similarly frozen and unsure of what to do until finally the move was made to push him away and he easily went, unable to focus on Zeph's clear confusion for very long due to his fresh embarrassment.
"You are m..mm..making me feel better!" He insisted, a little flushed laugh at the end of the words; it was true. Despite everything, having Zeph there to talk about it and around it with made things all the easier to deal with. "..I'm the one k-keeping you up. You ch...choose what we talk about."
So Sam would sit back down and listen and talk, however Zeph wanted to, until their cups were empty and the sky was beginning to shine lazy orange through the windows. When the other man went back up to bed, nothing had changed, but his eyes were dry and something felt in place.
{FIN}

When I told you "I love you" in my home
Just stab me in the back
