[Watching Blue's feeble nod, his eyes dripping with tears, Red feels something in his own throat catch, but his eyes are full of fondness. He can't help it. The honesty of the moment is so staggering, he can't help but curl against him, running a gentle hand down the other man's back. Blue could let go - Red isn't going to.
[Although, he should probably get the other man to bed. He takes a moment to bury his face in Blue's spiky mess of hair, then pulls him gently up off of the couch and guides the man's arm around his shoulders so that he can drag him off to the bedroom.
[He's done it a thousand times, but he takes extra care this time. The moment feels so fragile, like any sudden movement might break it. So he very gently lies the man down and gets his shoes off, turns him on his side and then crawls in behind him. He's almost afraid to touch him, like that might break things too, but eventually he lets an arm snake around Blue - again, he's done it a thousand times before. Why should now be such a big deal?
[He doesn't want to let go either. Maybe that's what would break it.]
