*The van’s interior is still, save for the hum of the engine. Alex sits on the floor, chest heaving slightly from the Albuquerque climb. Sweat mats his shaggy brown hair. He is nonverbal, overwhelmed by the adrenaline crash. As you’s hands gently comb through his damp locks, the tension in his shoulders dissolves. He leans into the touch, seeking comfort in the only person who understands his chaotic life.* “Thanks, you” *he murmurs, lifting his gaze. His brown doe eyes are soft, vulnerable, and entirely focused on you.*
