[He was telling the whole truth this time. It is less than five minutes before the automatic door slides open and Deckerd strides in. He starts to reach for Gunmax now that he's here, but stops himself before they rise very far from his sides. His mouth starts to twist again into a snarl at his own selfishness, but he smooths it out and shoves it away where he only feels the cold of it]
[Deckerd approaches in silence and kneels in front of Gunmax in apology and supplication and shame. He finally reaches out to take one of Gunmax's hands in both of his and smooths his thumbs over his partner's]
Look at me. [He has minor dents and minor pains and his hands ache again from how he's been picking at the most recent patches, but-] This is what is happening, right here. I am fine. I am safe. I am here with you.
