Summary
body.
"When Arthur had, in idle moments, thought of the potential of John’s body, he had envisioned a form as large and solid as John’s voice was dark and deep. In their moments of deepest connection, he had imagined being wrapped in sturdy arms, pulled back against a broad chest, a giant leaning down to whisper in his ear, a tiger encircling him. In reality, John’s physicality is more like a spoiled housecat.
'One would think,' Arthur says into the rumpled night, 'That our experiences would have given us a higher tolerance for discomfort.'
John scoffs and wiggles in closer, front pressed to Arthur’s back shoulder to ankle, left arm tight around his side, hand loosely clutching Arthur’s nightshirt, right above his heart.
'Why the fuck would it work that way? We suffered enough, I want to be comfortable now.'"
In which they get to be comfortable, and Arthur learns John's body.
