Virulent Dreams in a Fractured Cosmos Chapter 58

Zane Ling looked at Orion.

During the years he was away, Orion had been sleeping. Time had left no trace on him and he was still the same as he remembered.

After the initial period when he couldn't control his emotions, he felt a little lost and didn't know what to say. He just held Orion' hand, and his fingers scratched Orion' palm nervously through a layer of transparent protective film.

Orion's hand was very nice, with long, thin fingers and distinct joints. It was the same one he had liked since childhood. When he had nothing to do, he liked to put his palm against Orion's and overlap his five fingers. Orion's fingers were always longer than his own, but that was not the case now.

---He suddenly realized that he seemed to be no longer a child. The things he liked to do when he was a teenager, such as sticking to Orion or leaning on his arms, now felt indescribably awkward.
