[Sometimes the hardest part isn't accepting help, but asking for it. Lance knows that all too well himself. It wouldn't be fair to make Shiro put his emotional storm into words when it'll all end in a hug anyway.
He feels the way Shiro trembles and holds on tight, letting Shiro squeeze as hard as he needs to. The words "It'll be okay." rise up in Lance's throat, but he swallows them down, knowing that for the moment, platitudes like that aren't welcome. It'll eventually be okay, just not now. Maybe not for a while.]
