[While Zell hates feeling useless with helping him. It's almost as bad as that time where he could hear Jim breaking down and a door stood between them. At least now he has Jim in his arms and he's talking about it.

Reaching up to cup the side of Jim's face. Brushing his thumb along his cheekbone as he listens patiently.

Hearing him say he never wanted to die does ease some of the wretched feeling. Things are different since he came back. He did say it just makes everyone sad to Emma.

Slowly relaxing a bit, but still not quite fully smiling. Burrowing his face against Jim's hair as he breathes in deeply.]

Do you know why I call you Stars? [And time to lay on the sap to his boyfriend. He's not even sure if it'll even help, but he wants to say it.] Because you're my light in the darkness. [Pressing a kiss against him.] You made all of this better. You're bright, amazing, and I feel like I can do anything when you're near. [So, Jim has mattered and still matters to Zell.]
