[ Fraser pulls him the rest of the way forward and wraps his arms around him. ]

I'm fine. Are you hungry...? I brought some pigs in a blanket.

[scarrystories]

[ Give him a moment to hug Ben very tightly first. ]

[understood]

[ Oh. Yeah, okay. The initial chaos fades enough for Fraser to take in Andy's distress, and he immediately shuts up and holds him closer when he realizes. ]

[scarrystories]

I'm okay, it's fine, I promise.

[understood]

Okay.

[ He's not going to stop hugging him. ]

[scarrystories]

[ He presses his face against Ben's shoulder and makes a childish, whiny noise. ]

[understood]

[ Fraser kisses his hair. ]

... I know it's morning, but do you want to just go to bed with me?

[ It is not morning by anyone else's standards, Fraser. ]

[scarrystories]

It's morning?

[ He does desperately want to go to bed. ]

... yeah. Yeah, I wanna go to bed.

[understood]

Yes, darling. It's after four.

... come on. We can sleep in, for once.

[ He starts nudging them towards the stairs. ]

[scarrystories]

I don't want you to feel like you have to soothe my feelings.

[ But he's not letting go and guiding Ben upstairs. ]

[understood]

It's not— out of obligation. I just want...

[ He trails off, not sure how to express himself. ]

[scarrystories]

Okay. Okay, I just worry.

[ He really does try very actively not to be a dick. ]

[understood]

[ Ben thinks a little more before figuring out what he wanted to say. ]

I got lonely without you.

[scarrystories]

The idea of sleeping in our bed by myself didn't sit right.

[understood]

I didn't want you to lose sleep over a few thoughtless words, Andy...

[scarrystories]

No, don't feel guilty. I'm just stupid.

[understood]

You are not stupid.

[scarrystories]

[ Ugh, Andy kisses him. ]

My feelings for you are so big, everything feels huge.

[understood]

[ Yes, kisses are good. ]

The good things, too?

[scarrystories]

Yeah, everything's big.

[understood]

[ Fraser kisses him again before stepping away to get undressed. ]

[scarrystories]

[ Andy strips too, staying close to Ben. ]

[understood]

[ He's hurrying a bit so they can get cozy under the covers. ]

[scarrystories]

... I am sorry about your friend. And I'm sorry I didn't listen.

[understood]

[ Ben nods in acknowledgement, reaching for Andy again once they're settled in bed. ]
