Summary
And then Alex leaves for a week, and what does Michael do?
Well. Michael spends their time apart daydreaming about some other future, some future entirely incompatible with all the plans Alex had wanted them to make. Going home. What a joke. Stepping onto a spaceship and fucking off from this planet that had raised him, that had knocked him about and hurt him terribly, that had isolated him and scarred him and taken from him so much of what should have been his. This fucking planet, that had given him Alex Manes.
God, the guilt is—so fucking debilitating, almost as bad as the panic. He’s failed Alex profoundly, and in the process of discovering the monumental impact of that failure, he’d gone and punched his brother in the face, he’d screamed at Maria and Rosa, who had been out there trying to look for Alex, worrying about him, a hell of a lot more than Michael had been doing, because—because nobody had told him.
And also because, he hadn’t fucking noticed.

Summary
They stand there in the circle of each other’s arms, swaying as if to music, for long enough that Alex starts to feel the cold. But he doesn’t want to move. He never wants to move again, afraid somehow that to step outside of this moment will shatter something, that what seems too good to be true will reveal itself to be just that.
But eventually Michael shifts, one of his hands coming around so he can brush a thumb along the line of Alex’s jaw. “Do you want to go back inside with the others?”
The way he asks the question, Alex knows the answer he’s meant to give, and he smiles easily, looking up into the bright, obvious hope in Michael’s eyes. “Not even a little bit.”
