[He stares at her for a moment before his gaze softens.]
...It's hard to run away and ignore things now.
[A small exhale as he reaches over and pulls her to him.]
There are a lot of things we'll need to discuss, but... I'm tired, and I know this is what I want right now.
[Just. Holding her. Nothing more, nothing less. To feel her warmth against his, to know she'll be right there. Is this something he'll want more of the in future? ...Probably. And maybe they've already figured out that this is what they want. But this isn't the right time to decide, not with everything still raw and confusing.
And even if for some reason things don't work out, at least they had this chance. Chance to give in and be honest with each other. A chance to be selfish in their wants.]
