( They have a lot to talk about, and Basil will beat himself up later for the conversation straying from the topic of Kel. With everything that was said, everything shifted, and just sort of escalated from there. He breathes with Kel, his heartbeat beginning to slow -- but still constricting all the same. Nothing
When Kel makes that promise -- when he steps closer to him -- he can't help but feel that fear fill him once more, Basil taking in a breath when he feels those arms around him. He freezes for a moment before he returns the motion, fingers clinging to clothing tightly.
A choked sob escapes him, and he buries his head into his shoulder. He's been holding things back for so long. He hasn't wanted to let go. He knows that he's needed to keep things together. )
