scaredywombat: (Embrace and Say Goodbye)

It's reassuring, makes him slowly lean more into House's body at the words voiced quietly between them. The words I've got you and how the other man holds onto him. Maybe even moreso than the beginning, when House was tying him up, this is all about trust. If House let him fall, Chase isn't sure that he'd even be able to get his hands up in time to try and break the impact.

But House has him, safe. He leans into him, tries to offer as much help as he can as House moves him over to the bed. He winces a little, predicting that he'll end up sitting on the edge while House unties his arms, but instead, the other man places him on his side, more or less. He ends up mostly face-down in the pillows, and lets House's fingers work over the ropes.

It feels good, the way they come away from skin, leaving red marks in their wake. There's a freedom in it, a feeling of all the tension and the hurt coming away with the ropes in those moments. His arm is floppy, unsteady, but he reaches out for House anyway, wanting to touch, to hold onto him, feel him.
