More than Zerxus expression. More than the hand gripping his. More than the clarity of what life is and how long it has been that way, more even than the exhaustion in Zerxus' voice and how much this has all cost him....
The word still is what not only registers (it all registers), hits Steve like being kicked in the teeth. It's the word that echos in his head, and stays that way.
Steve is absolutely not angry, anymore.
He is pretty devastated.
"I feel plenty whole," he says, softly, braces himself up with the hand Zerxus isn't holding and slowly, thoroughly and with a whole lot of emotional warmth and sweetness, kisses him.
Not a move he'd normally make but he's not normally in hell, or in bed with naked people.
