Either way, Kurt settles his arm on Matthew's shoulder then dips the hand between his shoulder blades, rubbing small circles between them and a little ways down his spine, hoping to ease the anxiety his companion is still holding. The way Matthew clings to his jacket like a lifeline and presses closer is even more disheartening, but he inhales deep, steels himself to be the support that the other boy needs right now.

He shivers this time when Matthew's breath tickles his neck, that comment earning a soft chuckle.] Honestly, Matthew.

[Peering down from his peripheral, Kurt blinks and cants his head, the heat of his lips meeting Matthew's cheek then moving up to his temple.

Define 'normal' in this day and age when some many peculiar beings walk the Earth.
