[His next breath comes out shaky and strained and his hands both come up to settle against Claude's chest, grounding, somehow. But isn't that part of the problem? Leaning on Claude like this, literally and figuratively. The fact that he wants to turn that question back around on Claude. Is it okay? Can it be when he is still floundering to figure out so much about himself?]
This doesn't feel real- [A sharp little laugh, caught somewhere just shy of falling into hysterics again. He finally pulls back enough to blink down at Claude, one hand covering his face to stop that strained laugh from getting out of control.]
