omg ERICH 😠the approximately three seconds his brain will allow him to be safe and warm and happy, before his world the way he’s constructed it just comes crashing down on his little bubble. And rationalising why he feels like Algy and Biggles matter to him, and how it definitely has to be something other than because they’re kind, decent people, at least one of whose holds him in the highest regard.
I really hope that if he ever allows himself to think about this moment again, what he realises is that he knows he had the power to hurt Biggles emotionally, and that he chose not to, because 1) he only has that power because Biggles cares, deeply; and 2) he only restrained himself, because he cares deeply, too ðŸ˜
(The conversation at the end though!! 😆 so utterly them, I love them all so much.)
This was so sweet and lovely and sad, thank you so much for the wonderful coda!
