He makes a quiet sound of surprise when he feels Luke's weight on his lap. It's a suggestive move, and he can feel arousal stir in him, but he doesn't act on it immediately. More than anything, he wants to just rest, so when Luke uses that closeness purely to hold on ... He certainly has no complaints.
Wrapping both arms around Luke, he buries his face in his neck and settles there. Just to breathe. Along with the warmth of love in his chest, there's an ache that twists his throat, a longing to have a life like this. A life with affection and warmth and no worries or suffering. They didn't have it in Duplicity and they won't have it here. He supposes the truth is no one can have that, not completely, but for them ... Could they ever have it, even just for a fleeting moment?
The older he gets, the more he understands Bode's desperation.
