Alec nodded, catching himself off guard when he teared up and a lump of emotion caught in his throat, probably a culmination of life fucking his family royally recently. "Keeping going is something I think I'm pretty skilled at, if nothing else. The irony that I don't actually have Campbell blood in my veins but still managed to inherit the workaholic tendencies and cluelessness about commitment. I'm so sorry, K. For all that shit." He let himself sink into the familiar warmth of Kade's embrace and appreciate the closeness. He was kind of relieved that he was hungover because it prevented him getting aroused and giving into the sexual desire that never faltered for Kade since the day they first slept together in high school. If there was at least a minute silver lining to a raging hangover, this could be it. He didn't want that to be a distraction this time, even though he figured that if they really did start the process of working things out today, they'd probably end up having make-up sex when he was feeling better. He slid his hand beneath Kade's shirt to caress his back. "But I just... sorry, but my head keeps going back to how homesick you were in NY and that it just wasn't somewhere you felt settled or content. Is that what you're saying, you want to try again to move over there indefinitely, if we can live out of the city and maybe near some water? I don't want to make any promises based on maybes anymore but that's... it's where I live now. It's where I need to be and I don't foresee returning to Sydney on a permanent basis anymore. I'm happy living near all my brothers and my nephews, being part of their lives."
