His heart

Arlen did not know when he moved, his hand lightly cupped the back of Ravi's head, letting him lean against his shoulder. He barely used any strength as if afraid that Ravi would break if one held him too tightly. He circled his arms around Ravi quietly as he brought him to an embrace.

He did not say anything. He just wanted to hug him when he heard those words.

Ravi's entire body stiffened in Arlen's hold. The body holding was just too warm, so warm that he wanted to submerge in it completely, he wanted to just let go and fall, letting this man shield him from all the storms for a while.
