[ What he can give, he does, unstintingly, for as long as Maedhros needs ]

I know. [ He murmurs, and presses close, so that his brother can touch and hear and smell and know that this is reality ]

I am always here for you Nelyo. Always. The fire has no hold on you.

(For that, he adores him and he is prepared to return the favor whenever Maglor has need!

He is not ashamed to do just that. His hand touches the skin of Maglor's cheek and his soft hair; he breathes in deeply, recognizing their scents. There is no scent of fire or burning.)

But you do.

Always. [ Maglor leans into this hand and sings of their childhood ]

As long as you need me to, Nelyo. I am here.

(His hand settles into a comforting, stroking rhythm over Maglor's hair.)

Whether we stay in my room or yours doesn't matter. I just need to see you are...safe.

[ Maglor purrs happily as Maedhros does, eyes lidding in content ]

I will stay with you, Nelyo. I am well.

[castintoflames]

(The contentment is shared. As long as he can sense Maglor and feel him, he can finally close his eyes and rest.)

Thank you for coming.

I will always come, Nelyo. I promise. You only need to call.
