@O6KENT jamie's a forward thinker though, defs, so he keeps an arm as tight around roy's neck as possible while he keeps his weight off his man's bad leg. ̔cause he's, like, an empath, he is.

( the air lets itself out of roy’s body when familiar pressure presses on his leg, like he’s one of those bloody inflatables at the petrol station. kids’ll call it sad, but roy’s always imagined the relief it must bring.
