Adrien stood up and unlocked the door. Val's face came into sight before the darkness - he could tell there had been tears on his face, as well. He opened his arms, and Adrien hugged him - the grip of Val's hands on his sides was warm where he had previously felt so cold. Val pressed his face against Adrien's shoulder, his back shaking as he sobbed; the fabric of Adrien's sweater stuck slightly to his skin where it had been wetted by Val's tears - and he couldn't help but hold him a little tighter when he realized that.

"Thank you", he heard Val's muffled voice say.

"It's alright", Adrien replied, shaking his head. "It's alright. I'm so sorry".
