The fresh tears weren't stopping, thought they only felt like they hurt worse as he cried. He kept a hold of Leatherhead, afraid that if he let go he would lose the other and end up being alone. At Leatherhead's words he nodded, even if he wasn't entirely sure where the other meant by 'back' with as muddled as his thoughts were, right now it didn't matter. It only mattered that they would be together.

He moved back slowly, giving Leatherhead room to stand, but without losing contact with him.
