** Chapter 10 **

Tom had lain awake for hours after Doug fell asleep, thinking about how much time he’d spent worrying about his and Doug’s relationship. It seemed they’d been given a second chance; something had prevented Tom from closing off completely, and he was glad for it.

“I love you, Doug,” he whispered, feeling tears sting his eyes. He held them back; he’d cried a little when they were making love earlier, and could have died of embarrassment. But Doug only pulled him closer and kissed him.

Tom put his head on his lover’s chest, comforted by everything about the other man - the steady way his chest rose and fell as he breathed, the way his arms enveloped Tom, his smile, how he made all his problems disappear…

He smiled gratefully. He couldn’t have gotten through this without Doug; he simply wasn’t strong enough to handle it the right way. But Doug made him stronger somehow.

“Thank you,” he whispered, pressing his lips against Doug’s chest before getting comfortable and closing his eyes, letting sleep take him as well.
