"Thanks," Jake whispers one night.
"For what?" Tommy asks, looking at Jake in confusion. "For telling you the truth?"
"No," Jake mumbles, turning his face into Tommy's shoulder. "For making me feel human again."
Tommy feels himself blush all the way up to his forehead. "Any sane person would do that."
"But you're the first who's tried," Jake says, and he's blushing too, one hand scratching awkwardly at the baby hairs at the back of his neck.
Tommy's not sure what to say to that. He just presses a kiss against Jake's temple and hopes he gets the message.
Jakes smiles against his collarbone, and yeah. He does.
