The embrace was instantly comforting, and the feeling of Lennon grooming him brought a warmth to the boy's aching heart. He pressed against his companion more tightly, as if they might become one that way and never have to part again.

He paused for a moment, tilting his head slightly to admire Lennon's features, the kindness that was ever-present in his face. I'm sorry. I didn't bring you here to cry at you... I wanted to make you happy, not sad. The boy's tone was a bit mournful.
