[ Adam frowns at Noah's frown before he rises to his feet quickly. It's not easy for him to be affectionate, he's never been a physical person. If he's small and quiet and easily ignored he's less likely to be hit. But there's a moment where he thinks he's hurt him, hurt his feelings and he wants nothing more than to fix that.
His arms move to gather Noah into them. This isn't the usual slapping kind of hug boys do. This is Adam touching someone who hasn't been touched in so long. If he can give him that he will damn well do it properly. ] I'm so glad you're alive. [ His hand presses between his shoulder blades, careful but firm. ] And I want you to know that. But we're getting a replacement file, okay? [ He doesn't let go but he does lean back a little to look him in the eyes. ] You don't have to read it but I want to. I don't want anything happening to you that we could avoid.
