[With Allen's feet moving down, that's Clay's cue to lower him to the floor as well, shutting his eyes when he feels his... his boyfriend's(??)... forehead resting against his own, holding on just as tightly. It really was happening, and in that moment, Clay can feel himself start to (metaphorically) be pulled back down to Earth, his connection with Allen letting him live in the moment right there with him, rather than go bouncing off like a hyperactive puppy. He still has a bright grin on his face, but he feels a little calmer. It's one of the things he's been looking for.]
[While Clay felt himself get pulled back to Earth, Allen felt lighter than he had in years. With Clay, it was easier to put those worries and weight that had been weighing him down aside. He could feel his fears ebbing away from Clay's arms around him, his nerves getting calmer. To be there in the moment, instead of stuck in the past or possible futures that had not yet come to pass. What mattered that he was here now with Clay, his...his boyfriend, with a smile as bright as the other's on his face. He hadn't thought he'd been looking, but he certainly had the feeling that he's found something at long last.]
