Julian followed close behind as they made their way to the lift. As they stood there Noel felt a hand slip into his. When he turned around to look, he saw Julians fingers intertwined with his, with a small smile on his lips. Julian and him had always been close but he couldn't help but notice how his heart thumped so heavily against his chest. The lift opened and they stepped inside.

Noel shrugged and tried not to let his mind dwell on the feeling of Julian's warm hands. As the doors opened, they stepped out making their way down the corridor finally stopping at Noel's hotel room door.
