we are all broken
So many moments have collided and spidered away from each other to lead Finn here - moments spent fleeing his own bed because there's another person in it, moments showering and then showering again just to make sure, moments in dark corridors at LongNight, smacking fake skeleton hands to the ground. And now that they are here, gods if the Spyglass isn't greedy for it. Every touch of Tobi's hands is like a cool and gentle breeze, her fingertips gentle enough that he can't associate it with anything else - it's just this.
Unlike the doctor, Finn has no idea of the body beneath his own that he might start to explore given enough time; at the moment he can barely focus enough to keep himself grounded. Tobi's fingers dance down his back, teasing beneath his shirt, and he arches into the touch, humming encouragement against the side of her neck. She'll be able to feel the very edges of the whiplash scars that stripe across his back--
And then in walks the nurse.
There's no hiding it. There's no jumping to one's feet, since they're still mostly tangled up in the blanket. There's nothing they can do at all; the most Finn manages is a half shuffle into sitting on the sofa, his curls thoroughly messed up at the back, his cheeks a rather fetching shade of pink. And that's... all he's got. What Tobi's plan is, though, is beyond him.
