Headcanon that after their reunion James just looks at Thomas. Like, all the time. And refuses to go anywhere without him. And also touches him randomly to make sure he’s actually there. It’s like two whole days before they start talking to eachother.

YOU ARE A FOUNTAIN OF GOOD IDEAS MY FRIEND

like honestly. they would be in such an elated daze those first few days like oh my god. there will be time for Big Conversations later, right at first they’re more or less peaking at you’re here and I’ve got you and oh, my love, I missed you. 

10000% agree that James wouldn’t want to let Thomas out of his sight. like. he was DEAD. Every moment spent proving and re-proving to himself that he’s alive and whole is a moment well-spent. and Thomas would be just as far gone okay like the love of his life walked out of the sea and back into his arms he’s gonna be a little preoccupied with this development. just imagine James looking over at Thomas only to find Thomas already staring at him, stars in his eyes. imagine how they’d smile.

and oh god. so many I-can’t-believe-you’re-real touches. sitting together with fingers brushing, then laced. forehead kisses in the morning when they wake up, their heads on the same pillow. hands cupping each other’s cheeks + adoring gazes that promise that they’ve been separated for the last time. they’ve got ten years of affection to make up for. just try to stop them.
