Xufeng doesn't think about it as he starts slowly rocking his brother. And the silent sobs will never be mentioned. It doesn't matter that his shoulder is soaked through, just that finally he can be there for his brother.

Even when he feels Runyu go still, he doesn't let go. His hold is loose enough that his brother can simply pull away when he's ready. Until then? They both need this. His eyes squeeze closed at the quiet words and he lets go of what lingering pain he can. But really, he'd been angrier with himself than Runyu.

"I'm here."
