  Summary

  There was nothing holy in fear.

  Holiness was Nick standing in Rafael’s silent kitchen with rain on his shoulders and dinner cooling behind him. It was the familiar shape of his hand against Rafael’s waist. It was being carried inside someone across years of separation, preserved not as a wound but as shelter.
