@boyforgiven he goes, willingly, pressed up against wrenโs body with his head in his shoulder. the phone has been disregarded, now looking ahead at the tv screen.
@boyforgiven he still canโt bring himself to look at him, so instead he moves a little bit closer. all he wants is wren, but his brother was making it so damn hard.
@boyforgiven moving his hand, though not for long, heโs soon tracing shapes on the back of wrenโs hand. at first it has no purpose, but after a while heโs spelling โi love youโ instead.
