[ Jim can't be quite as happy as his boyfriend is - where Zell sees a solution, Jim just sees the miles and miles of hard work ahead - but Zell being happy, combined with the relief that at least it's something, makes Jim happy as well.
He settles in next to Zell, throwing half his body over his boyfriend's to keep him there, and rests his head on Zell's chest instead of a pillow. ]
[ Zell knows the journey will be worth the ending. If Jim starts feeling like he can accomplish things and that he has a future again, then it'll be all worth it.
Now he has a boyfriend half on him. Wrapping his arms around him as he nuzzles against the top of his head. Breathing everything in deeply and feeling pretty warm inside and out. There is hope, and he's going to keep reminding Jim of that. ]
[ Jim's quiet for long enough that it might seem like he fell asleep or something, but eventually he squeezes tight around Zell and makes a contented noise. ]
