[ Jim shakes his head just a fraction, still not quite willing to believe any of the people manipulating them are victims themselves. It's just too much to think about, and at least this way they have a face to be angry at.
He can't be very angry with Zell kissing him, though, and anyway his worry over Zell is stronger than any other concerns. He makes a quiet noise as Zell nuzzles his neck and tilts it to give more room. ]
[Doesn’t quite catch the shaking of his head. Right now, he’s just going to enjoy the feeling of Jim in his arms and the warmth between them. Everything else can shove it for the moment. Right now, Jim is his whole world and he’s not going to think about anything else for a while.]
Right now. [His voice is low. He is glad that Jim didn’t listen to him. That Jim reminded him what having a partner was all about.] Just this. [He’s going to make use of Jim giving him more by pressing kisses down the length of his neck. Leaning his side against the wall as he relaxes. He’s going to try to sleep like this. His neck is going to complain later but worth it because he really doesn’t want to move or let go. Reaching up to brush his bare fingers through Jim’s hair.]
You've got it. [ Jim leans into Zell's hand for a moment, just enjoying the feeling of his boyfriend's touch. He makes a gentle, happy noise - he loves those hands, no matter what they did tonight - and wonders if he should try to get Zell to move to the bed.
They're comfortable here, though, so Jim leaves it alone and hopes that Zell can get some sleep. ] I've got you.
[ And he does, all night, Jim watching him by the gentle light of the tablet for any signs that something else is wrong. ]
[He mumbles a quiet I know after Jim says he's got him. Jim's words and presence were like a spell being weaved around him. He can sleep soundly for a while thanks to it. Zell can feel safe because Jim is there for him. Humming a song softly to Jim as he continues to stroke his hair until he's unable to continue as he drifts off.]
