Jacob stood quickly, slamming his knees into the coffee table in the process. It hurt but not enough for him to complain or sit back down.
"Yuki." He took the seat next to Yuki and pulled the other man into his arms. It was a loose hug, something that Yuki could easily pull away from. "Me too. I'm here. It's okay." Jacob felt his own break but it wasn't enough to cry. Crying was difficult for him and complicated but that didn't make his feelings any less than Yuki's. They were sharing the same pain of being separated.
"It's okay to cry or be sad. It sucked." Jacob tried to smile but the gesture was hallow. "But I'm here and you're here. So it'll get better." He closed his eyes and inhaled, remembering the scent that he knew was Yuki's. "We'll take it slow, okay? Just... don't hold it in."
It was complicated because there was more that had to be said but no matter what, Jacob cared about Yuki and he'd do anything to help ease his friends pain.
