"Don't think I'm ever gonna get over you calling me, Darlin'." Tim whispered softly as he returned Raylan's lean, breathing in the older man's comforting scent. Even if it was kissed with sweat and the dust of the day.
It was ironic. Everybody out here trying to protect Raylan and Raylan would be annoyed with the lot of them if he knew. Tim should know better, but this whole attempt at a relationship for the first time in his life had him being a little stupid.
"I pushed myself too far today," he began. "There is more damage than I originally suspected. Malcolm helped me get back here, poured me on the couch. He asked if I needed any help to the bathroom and I made a joke about having missed my weekly crawl of shame.
I could tell he wanted to ask me something before he left and I invited him to ask," trying to be open, trying to establish that conversational connection. "He asked 'Why did you leave 1306 this morning, where lots of people would be willing to help you out, so you can be here by yourself, crawling to the bathroom?'"
A fair question.
"I tried to explain how terrifying it is for me to be at the mercy of anyone. I explained about my mother, and my father. How I grew up. Information I haven't even talked with you about. I was trying to show him why ... I tried to let him inside my head." It was as good a description as any.
