[13:45] The Real Simon❤️: I'll be there in ten

He arrived in 11. I know, because I was near enough counting down the seconds, scared this was some horrible prank and that I wouldn't actually get to see him.
He was only a minute late, but it was the longest minute of my life.
The second I heard him knock, I rushed to the door, flung it open and pulled him into the tightest hug of my life.
'I've missed you, you fuck.' I muttered into his shoulder. The taller boy laughed.
I stepped back, my arms still tightly clinging to his shoulder as I looked him up and down.
He had gotten thinner, more gaunt, and a little bit paler, but he still looked beautiful.
He still smelled like Simon. He even sounded like Simon, but there was a slight rasp to his voice.
'Sorry. I've just woke up.' he blushed.
'I'm just glad you're here. Come in, come see everyone.' I looked him up and down one more time before I extended my hand for him to take.
He looked at it, and I saw the pain in his eyes before he smiled at me and edged around me.
I stood in the doorway, lost for words as he waited for me to shut the door.
He wouldn't even touch me.
Why couldn't he touch me?
