[ he doesn't move away as kavinsky stiffens. he has the feeling this is something that kavinsky needs right now, that it's something the boy might even crave even if he might pretend otherwise. nico knows that it's something he does when he's hurting. but for too long, he'd pushed away any kind of contact, refusing to allow others in. he'd been like a shadow, dark and cold, but kavinsky is like knives, sharp and dangerous. still, nico knows how to navigate something like this. has done it before.
he lets kavinsky have his say and then shifts again. this time, he kneels on the floor in front of kavinsky and takes the shirt out of those tattooed hands. it's tossed aside so he can take kavinsky's hands in his ( this is what will would do; this is what will does for him even now ) and leans in close. he can smell the liquor on kavinsky's mouth like this, but pays it no heed. ]
Do you honestly think I'd be here if I wasn't worried about you. If you were so right, I'd be over fucking Vex right now. But no, I'm here with you. Doesn't that mean something?
