[Fai can't make himself see clearly - even if his vision wasn't swimming with exhaustion, there is absolutely no holding back the tears anymore, not a shred of dignity or consideration for it left. He just wraps around Feliks and clings, his own limbs more wiry, hardened by his rough living, but right now shaking uncontrollably with both emotion and fatigue. Feliks feels different, that much he can tell - changed both by an Evolution and by time, and the latter doesn't seem to have been too kind to his frame. But to Fai, right now, he is a breathtaking blur of sparkling flame and warmth and color and light, as if everything he has missed for almost a whole year has been condensed into one overwhelming experience.
Desperately running one hand over the other boy, as if trying to make absolutely certain that he really is all there, gasping down sobbing breaths, his other hand latching on to his hair as if trying to anchor them both, he simply rocks with Feliks's small frame held in his arms. They're together. He's safe. He's home. Even now, even with Yuui gone, that feeling isn't completely gone, after all.
And now, finally, he can't hold it back.]
I'm- I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm- You're- You deserved better.
