Ming began massaging his boyfriend’s shoulders. Kit was more stressed out than he had ever been. He put a hand on one of Ming’s as a grateful gesture. What would he have done if he didn’t have him? What would he have done if he wasn’t here for him through this? He knew there was no way he wouldn’t have lost his mind if Ming hadn’t been there to soothe it.
