"This is fine," Thomas said, moving closer to Krem when he'd gotten settled. He took a second (or maybe longer) to look him over, see skin he hadn't seen since they'd gone swimming together all those months ago. They'd both been different, their relationship different so Thomas felt like he was seeing Krem with new eyes.

"It's really fine," he murmured, nodding and reaching over to trace one single finger down Krem's thigh towards his knee. He circled around the muscles there, the bones that he could feel before moving back up his thigh and tapping gently.
