Grateful for the coat, he curled up in it until it was time to leave the car. By the time they got inside he still felt rattled but safe. James was safety and his house was safety. Nothing could get him here because James would keep him safe. Eli was muscular sure but he wasn't a fighter. His friends always told him he was too soft hearted for that.

Guess they were right after all.

Letting his boyfriend take care of him, he didn't resister at all to being dried off then nodded as he took the clothes. Going to where he knew the bathroom was, he didn't even think to take his makeup off. Quite literally he yanked the wet clothes off to hang over the towel rack then he pulled on the borrowed clothes that were a little too big for him since James was broader than him.

But he was glad to have them as he darted back out to the other room. Makeup could always come off later. He wanted to go back to the person who made him feel safe and went to wrap his arms around him from behind.

"...thanks..."
