"I know," he says softly, nodding a little. There's a weird sort of hesitation, not really in his words more than just hanging in the air between them and he slowly reaches over and tangles his fingers with Mick's. He needs those sorts of things more than Leonard does, usually, and sometimes he indulges it for Mick's sake. But this is really more for himself this time.

Sometimes, it's just nice to know that there's some kind of constant in his life. "You've always been here when I needed you, since we met. I don't see that changing any time soon."

Mick breathes out slowly, tangling his fingers with Leonard's. It's the most he can offer in terms of comfort tonight. A safe place, caring for his best friend and his little sister. Holding his hand in the dark.

A small smile.

"Yeah, you ain't gonna get rid of me anytime soon." Whatever happened, Mick would stand beside him for the rest of his life.
