Summary
“He took it real hard, Chris. When you stepped through the door and tried to leave us forever, he was heartbroken, man. And I mean it. Heartbroken.” Her head bobbed with the last word, her eyes comically wide as if she was trying to mentally channel knowledge into Chris’ thick skull.
It did not work. “I doubt it.” Chris laughed, feeling the back of his neck break into sweat. “He doesn’t function like that. He’s a fucking machine.”
“He’s definitely something,” Ads said. “But he was sobbing. Ugly sobbing, into my neck. Like, torrential. He had a lot of shit bottled up.”
“Adrian doesn’t cry.”
“He does now,” Ads said. “Over you."
-----
Adrian hadn't called. He hadn't texted. Not since Chris had got back in one piece from the other dimension. And all Chris could think about, after Ads had brought it up, was that he'd made him cry.

Summary
But this, Adrian below him with a look of sheer awe slapped across his face, was different, even so. In every single way. Adrian had his arms raised slightly, cushioned next to his ears as his fingers flexed over and over, as though he were trying to calm himself. Despite his claim to attempt the effort, a few more tears had tracked down his cheeks between Chris licking up the first and then, and they left stark, vertical lines of shine down his face. Almost grey against his skin, where he had been turning pinker and pinker since Chris had begun to inspect him with a sort of curlool authority that clearly annoyed and aroused Adrian.
-----
set moments after nothing held back, not this time; Chris and Adrian have started to become much better friends. Capable. Connected.
