[Rean's definitely stubborn. The harder Crow pulls away the harder Rean pulls back. It's been frustrating at times, but right now he's so grateful he can't put it into words. A lot of things still sting, and that's not going to go away without a lot of time and work, but having Rean there, being able to touch Rean, is grounding. Crow can almost believe it'll all be okay someday.
Almost. But that's better than it was, so here he sits, clutching Rean's hand like a precious thing and doubling over til his face is resting against his own arms. He closes his eyes and takes measured breaths, willing himself not to get emotional again just from relief. He's exhausted, but he doesn't want to stop feeling Rean's warmth, so he doesn't let go.]
You're really something else, Rean Schwarzer.
[That's Crowspeak for "I love you so much my heart might burst".]
