Pushing the door open as quietly as he could Lucas peers into the room minutes later. Outside he got the basic idea of what happened and tried his best to console Lioriley before she left entirely. He'll circle back again to her after this, but for now all of his worry is focused on the man balled into himself.
The sight alone is enough to tear at his very heart, aching so profundly with the want to gather Max up in his arms. And why shouldn't he?
Quietly he slips into the room, shutting the door gently behind him. Soft noises, but he hopes it's not enough to give himself away yet before Max can tell him to go. Instead he pads over to the bed, kicking off his shoes and taking up the space at Max's back all in one fluid motion. Pressing his cheek against the man's back and angling an arm around him, Lucas finally speaks, low and calm and soothing. "Max. Talk to me."
