[He knows what it cost her to reach out. How much more it costs her to reach out to him.

To give when he's already taken too much from her.

He's not afraid of her, not really. He used to be. Before he finally accepted he was really just afraid of himself. Always had been. Always will be. Just couldn't stand knowing someone else knew it now, too.

So he reaches out, takes the steps, closes the distance, and laces his fingers through hers as he joins her at the window. Still staring out at nothing. Feeling everything.

He wants to laugh. Or cry. Or crack his forehead against the glass. So he just stands still, hyper-aware of how small her hand feels in his. How deceptive that is. How good it feels to accept comfort he doesn't deserve. Or maybe give it.]
