RHYS TEXTED TO TELL me he was at my building but asked if he could come up instead of me meeting him downstairs. I buzzed him through the security door and waited outside my apartment. It was hard to read emotion and intention in a text, but something about it felt wrong.

When Rhys came out of the stairwell, I almost gasped. He was as white as a sheet, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

“Rhys?” I asked, starting toward him. I'd only taken three steps when my anxiety kicked in and my thoughts zeroed in on him being mad at me for coming to his work last night.

“I really need someone to talk to.” Rhys's voice was so quiet I barely heard him, but he remembered to look at me so I could read his lips.

“Of course. Come in.”

When we were in my apartment and the door was locked, Rhys kind of hovered in the living room.

“What's wrong?”

“I really want to hold you right now. I need to feel you.”

Rhys looked like he was only steps away from crying, and seeing him so torn up pushed the last of my anxiety aside, and all I could think about was comforting him any way that I could.

I reached out and took his hand. It was true we could get close on the couch, but it didn't seem like enough. He needed more than just comfort; he needed intimacy.

Without a second thought, I led Rhys into my bedroom and right to my bed. I wasn't in the habit of making my bed in the mornings, so I quickly pulled the comforter up as Rhys kicked off his shoes. I pulled out my hearing aids and took off my shoes before nodding for him to climb in with me.

I expected him to pull me up against his chest like he had the last time we'd cuddled, but he surprised me by rolling into me. I wasn't used to being the one who was cuddled against, and even though he was so much bigger and stronger than me, he seemed to fit perfectly against my body as his head rested on my shoulder and his arm draped over my chest.

I rested one hand over his arm where it lay over my chest and gently rubbed the back of his head with the other. I didn't know if it would comfort him, but it did wonders for me, so I figured it couldn't hurt.

After a few minutes of silence, Rhys began to tremble against me. At first, I thought he was cold and shivering, but then I felt a wet spot on my shoulder and realized he was crying.

What had happened between when I saw him last night and right now? Instead of saying anything or trying to get him to talk, I rolled into him and held him tight, rubbing his scalp and back. He was crying softly enough that I couldn't hear him, and I was only able to tell when he stopped by how his breathing went back to normal and he stopped shaking.
