Lavi smiled, hoping to put Allen at ease. “Ok, bear with me.” He reached
out for Allen’s hands and helped him to his feet. He wobbled for a
moment, Lavi keeping a firm grip on him until he steadied out. “Just
hold onto my shoulders and I’ll get your pants off, then help you into
these dry ones.”
Allen set his mug down on the table before taking Lavi’s hands. It took a few moments to get his balance, he could barely feel his legs. But he did as Lavi instructed, gripping his shoulders. Lavi’s body felt hot, almost burning to his chilled skin, and Allen had to resist a sudden urge to pull him closer. But he did adjust his grip, to let his arms press against the warm body too, and closed his eyes, resting his head against Lavi’s chest.
