[Hal blinked, turning his head.] You have to ask?

David... Every time we're apart, I miss you.

[Though he was incredibly thankful that Dave never deteriorated. He was always here, never getting worse. Never dying on him.]

[He squeezed his hand again tightly and gently brushed his thumb along the older man's palm.] I guess it's kinda silly but... you mean more to me than you think. _{A-And I really do love you.}
