    Summary

    Cassian’s drunken haze must’ve been heavy, because he clapped his hand down with such force that Azriel dropped the bag he had been holding, the contents - a bundle of fabric - tumbling out onto the street.

    “Sorry, Az,” Cassian murmured, dropping to a knee to gather his brother’s discarded purchase.
    Azriel raised a halting hand. “Don’t—“

    Cassian stilled as he picked up the bundle of fabric and the bag. He glanced between the two of them, brows furrowed.

    Rhysand chuckled. “Are these naughty things for Mrs. Berdara?”

    Cassian’s gaze drifted from the fabric to Azriel then to Rhys. His eyes were wet.

    Summary

    Steve's rarely been touched in a way that didn't equate to some kind of hurt. The cold metal of a stethoscope against his frail chest or the sting of a needle drawing yet another blood sample, when he was a sickly child. The bone-shattering punches thrown by the neighborhood bullies on the playground, or by his own father at home, drunk and wild. His mother, weak and clutching at him as she grew more incoherent with the drugs as the cancer ate away at her insides. Touch was something he shied away from, something he told himself he just didn't want.

    Except...he did. He just didn't know how.

    Until he finds a flyer for a local "affection and intimacy services" program.

    In which Steve learns how to become comfortable with touch, and there is one very good dog, and a slow-burn romance.
