[Concord is absolutely a cuddler, so the surprise that Ali will indulge is a very pleasant one.
He wedges his downward beneath Ali's pillow, allowing him to lay down against his bicep of the crook of his elbow with a layer of feathery down overtop for further comfort. The arm that was hanging over Ali hooks around his back and pulls him in to hold close. Ali's warm and slender body fits just right up against him, pressing into his scar in a way he finds comforting.]
I imagine so... yes... [what a shame that is, he considers saying, but that is also a silly thought. It also sounds a bit like he's blaming Ali for this taking so long, when he's at the least equal part of causing their longstanding rift. Better to not focus on what could have been. So much is, now.]
Glad we figured it out. I did not know I wanted companionship like this so much. [proved himself wrong on that one]
