Conversations with dead people

[imthepilot]

The bar is too busy tonight. There's too much going on. Too much noise, too many people messing about. And those doll things - Bodhi shudders.

Instead he takes Galen's hand draws him towards the outside door. It's a clear night and cool without being cold. A light jacket and Galen's hand in his is enough to keep him warm.

"I never knew moonlight on water could be so... beautiful."

"I love you, Galen. So much." His voice is rough and thick with emotion.

"Bodhi," Galen manages, clinging. "Bodhi. Yes. I thank the Force that you exist."

[imthepilot]

Bodhi pulls back just far enough to kiss Galen, desperately. He wants to apologise for keeping Galen from Lyra but- but he isn't sorry. Doesn't regret keeping hold of Galen's hand. Doesn't regret that Galen chose him.

Galen holds him and kisses him and stops trembling, only to start shivering.

It's getting cold out there.

"Lets go in." He's cold too and they need to be away from here. "Let's go get a drink."

[galen_erso]

"One that is both hot and contains alcohol," Galen says, getting up and holding out his hand for Bodhi.

He doesn't want to let go, right now.
