"You do," Cole confirmed and ordered carefully, seeing that he was about to go another round in fighting Chris. He reached to grab Chris's wrists so that he could move his hands up so that they'd cup Cole's face. His expression was calm and warm, trying to be the comfort Chris needed in this time of confusion. "It's alright, Chris. You can relax. I'm only here to help you."

Letting go of his wrists, Cole pulled Chris into a tight hug and moved to kiss his cheek affectionately. He was going to play the part of the only person who was there for Chris, the only one who cared enough to give him the love and attention he needed. "You know all of that already. Nothing's changed. You want my love and attention and all the affection you can take from what I'm willing to give you. And you know I'm willing to give you everything."
