Really the best thing Leonard can do is sit closer, reach out and touch and wrap his fingers around his. Touch he can give him, something to console and ground them both.
His eyes flick to Leonard's at the 'it's not you' because for years now he's honestly wondered. Was he just too needy? Was his timing that bad?
And Mick knows, as much as he might rail against it in the moment, that one day he'll break. His resolve will falter. He's strong but he's not inhuman. He can't hold out forever.
"Okay." And that one word is so goddamn hard to say. Partners. He.. he can live with that. As long as Leonard will have him, because he is hopelessly dependent on him. Needs him like he needs air. "Okay. Can we.. "a hard swallow because he's being needy again and he hates himself for it.
"Can we just go to bed? Please? I won't.. I won't do nothing. I promise." Mick just needs to lay close to him tonight and listen to him breathe. Try and sort out his head and his heart.
