( he's not going to lose it in front of kyle. that much is incredibly important to him, even as his chest aches and he has to swallow down a lump in his throat that threatens to burst. the whole point of shutting people out of the room was to prevent exactly this, but the idea of sending kyle out of here now is somehow so much worse.
he waits another moment, hovering just short of any real kind of contact, and then nick turns very abruptly and throws his arms around kyle's neck. he clings tight, enough that it's probably a good thing kyle isn't human, and he exhales slowly.
