[ her touch is like electricity. it's like being in a drivesuit again and feeling the current zing along the circuitry suit. it's a heady feeling. intoxicating the way really good alcohol is. it's warm and easy and the taste of her in his mouth is better than anything else he's ever had.
she asks him to stay the night and there's really only one response to that. ] Yes. [ yes, he'll stay the night. yes, he'll stay with her in her bed and hold her until she wakes, even if insomnia hits him again. yes, he'll probably do whatever she asks of him.
not just because he likes the way she feels when they're like this. but because she's quite literally the best thing to happen to him in years. naomi is the silver lining to the dark cloud that seems to swallow his life now. she makes him feel like maybe there's still something worth living for other than the knowledge that yancy wanted him to. it's likely that he'll never be able to put into words just how much she's done for him. depression is still a near-constant companion and he still gets in his funks but, well.
moments like these are things he didn't think he'd really have again. real emotional connections with people are things he thought he'd given up. and raleigh's never been more happy to be proven wrong. ]
