Feeling the man move towards him to cuddle made Elijah smile more. He took the man into his arms and brushed his fingers over his. "I have a feeling we will never be 'normal'." He chuckled quietly and closed his eyes, resting his head against his. "I will admit something. You don't need to be nervous about touching me. Even if we are having a difficult time. I like just having your hand on mine, or a little hug. It helps remind me how you care about me and I guess having been so alone in my life, I crave this little physical attention. I hope it doesn't seem silly to you." He smiled more and took Anthony's hand in his.
