( he’d been lingering outside the door when edgar exits, all with the intent of checking if he was alright. his absence had been noted, andrew could almost admit he missed seeing him.
it’s a brief reminder of his own social inhibitions, so he cannot fully speak on it, but it—
( door creaking open for the first time all day. shirt rumpled, cuffs and fingers marked with smears of dried paint. rebellious curls have worked themselves free from the tie at the back of his neck. )

( there’s a nod of acknowledgment. ) i wasn’t certain if i should maintain formalities, richard.
( he follows behind him without question, holding his hand tight throughout. it’s slightly relieving in the moment. )
oh, don’t think about it too much. and, it’s richard. you’ve saved me far too many times to keep mistering me… andrew.
( pulls him up from the seat & into the dark corridors, hands still joined. )
sleepy season… is it not? i find myself dozing off even during the day as well.

i believe in god sometimes, but i believe in god the most when i imagine a god who has my mother’s laugh.
( andrew silently watches him for a little longer before giving a small nod in return. he’s still hesitant to slip his hand into richard’s. it steadies him a little bit more. )
i also cannot deny your company, even if i can’t fathom it. it does feel rather nice you’re sparing—
