[ Since Kyle had left Roswell as a teenager heading off for better things, he had become someone that did his best to offer kindness, empathy and help to people. Wanting to be a good man who didn't fear or anything else stop him from who he could be.

And somewhere along the way he had given up his ability to ask for help. Not wanting to be a problem for others while they were dealing with so much.

Yet with Charles he finally feels a place where he doesn't have to hold back, that he can put forward the worries he has as well as the fears. He can be open and doesn't have to hide any of those things.

It's a sensation that leaves his chest tight and his eyes prickling as he uses that hold to draw Charles a bit closer. ]

I want to do better with you. About being open and trusting myself with letting things out. Because I don't have any doubt that you are there for me, or that you would turn away from the worst or see me differently.

You make me feel safe, Charles, in ways I haven't ever. I feel freer to show all sides of myself with you than I have with anyone.

[ He loves so deeply but he's not always let himself bother others with himself. Yet here is this amazing man, who has been through so much, and he makes Kyle feel stronger for what he's been through... and to face what he's ignored for his own sake. Because he cares. ]
