[For this long he'd managed to hold most of it together-- at least on the outside, inside he was near-enough to falling apart he'd feel ashamed later. The kiss was abrupt, however, slightly painful against his scalp but the rough scrape of Jack's jaw, slightly chapped lips, and an edge of desperation combined in the right way to have him give in. And he did, both arms wrapping around him with a soft sound sent into Jack's mouth. He tipped his head and kissed him like a drowning man might seek air, frantic and full-bodied, giddy in how he seemed so much better now than minutes before. Had it only been minutes?
A wet sound stuck in the back of his throat and he gave out a shuddering breath through his nose. Relief so tangible that Jack might feel the suppressed sob that threatened. But reason and fear snuck up on him and he tried to pull away, to speak to Jack about how they shouldn't-- couldn't waste time because he was injured and Eugene wasn't sure how badly. He didn't make move to unwrap his arms from him, though, door still ajar.
At first he really couldn't bring himself to do it but his desire to keep Jack with him won over the need to kiss him silly.]
Just-- let Adele have a look at you, okay? I saw it h-happen, it wasn't your most... stellar moment.
