Warning/Spoilers: none, only some shmoop that wanted to get out
Summary: It was always there … this constant craving.

It was always there. Buzzing in his veins. Crawling underneath his skin. Siniging in his blood. He could feel it in his head, in his arms, even in his fingertips.

Sometimes it surprised him with its intensity. Then again – on other days – with its tenderness. Its protectivness.

But he could silence it down. Every night. Or morning. Whenever he came home. The moment he closed the frontdoor behind him, locked it to keep the world outside, it came to a rest. Like a nervous junglecat finally being able to lie down.

Gil slipped silently under the covers, and pulled Nick close. The constant craving to make sure that his lover was safe finally stilled.
