   Summary

   Drift hugs him. He doesn’t have the strength to hug back, but Drift is wrapped around him and squeezing him so tightly he thinks he might burst—solid, lovely, gentle against his chest. Right where his spark is, and he allows himself to settle into the safety, to imagine that maybe one day he could settle into all the touches without fear or shame or guilt. He tries, this time, to allow himself some private comfort in his lover’s hold. It hurts somewhere deep and cathartic in his spark to wrap his arms around Drift’s waist, helm against his chest. They stay like that, raw and open, all wrapped up in each other.
