Written for the rarecommentfic ficathon: Banky doesn't let Holden just leave the convention. He watches him leave, licks his lips, and drops the Sharpie in his hand. He follows Holden outside, and they have a proper reunion. A proper healing - moving forward - never looking back moment. A moment that starts a future that feels less than surreal, less wrong.

It's been a year, there's a con, and Banky tells himself that closure is a good thing. Sequel to "Taking First". Holden/Banky

Of course he said no. Alternate ending. Holden/Banky
