Jim didn't care. He didn't care if Bones cried right now, he didn't care if Bones fell apart, so long as he was there to catch him and keep him together. It was the thought of Bones going through all that completely alone that really terrified him.
Never mind what he had to deal with or not. Bones always had his own plate full more often than not but he was still always there for Jim when he needed it. He didn't want the doctor to keep anything from him, not even once, just because he thought Jim already had more than enough to handle. Nothing was nearly as important as Bones to him.
"I'll take that as permission, then. No take backs," Jim warned playfully, his hands smoothing down Bones's back. He could feel some moisture on his neck but he said nothing to it, letting Bones cry as much as he wanted to, holding him close and keeping him from pulling away for now.
