[ Caelus has a lot of questions. Like: how did they get back to the Astral Express from the amusement park, and why are they in the same bed together? But also — but at the same time, he just feels such an intensity of relief at seeing that Aventurine is fine after everything that happened that he just lets out a shaky sigh and —
— pulls Aventurine closer, holding him tight as Caelus buries his face in his shoulder. ]
You're alright...
[ Which — well, that warm reception might come as a surprise. After all, before this, Caelus had always been pushing him away. Now, though? Now he's squeezing Aventurine close, genuinely shaking, as though Aventurine has been a real friend of his for dozens of years.
If Aventurine thinks this might be some sort of act — Caelus is actually trembling as his fingers curl loosely in Aventurine's hair and he takes slow, shaky breaths. ]
