    Summary

    His breath passes through his body in cycles, and he allows himself to focus on it. The stretch in his muscles as his chest expands and back widens. Each inhale seems to unravel something in him, allowing the tension to bleed from his body.

    Once more he observes Olruggio’s features, taking in the color of his eyes — an intriguing shade that reminds him of a star-filled sky — and the harsh line of his mouth. He observes the dark strands that fall across his forehead, the cut of his jawline, the bridge of his nose.

    I want him and this life we built together.

    I want to live.

    or: qifrey learns to rebuild. olruggio is by his side.

    Summary

    He is still sitting, baggy pyjama top hanging off of his body and boxers slightly too far up his thighs when a soft murmur sounds behind him and an even softer hand finds a hold of his wrist. “Come back.”

    Will turns enough to see Mike half-lidded and sleepy, looking up at him with a gentle grin. Will smiles back, inevitably.
