[Elliot inhales deeply, his own heart a racing tempo that he doesn't wish to quiet. It's proof to him that this is real. Leo has changed so much, yet he hasn't at the same time. Embracing him feels right. He wants to write a new song with Leo, something just for him that is meant for him from the beginning.] You've never held back when it's important. You're a pain like that.

[He teases him gently. As much as he wants to convince himself he'll be cool about this, Elliot is easy to fluster, even moreso about someone so precious to him. He holds onto Leo selfishly, burying his face in his shoulder.] I won't share you either. Deal with it.

[Those words don't make Elliot gasp, or tear up, or react noticeably, but when he hears Leo say that his heart feels lighter, like he's floating.] I like that...but the new story needs a new title.

Leo. [Elliot grumbles stubbornly, tightening the hug a little.] I told you I am fine.
