Elliot's kiss lifted some of the tension, prompting TJ to feel somewhat more at ease. It was a lot to take in, a lot to process. It wouldn't be easy on either of them, but... He liked Elliot enough to try, at least. They'd gone so far as to agree they're actually dating, after all. Tj didn't enter into actual formal relationships lightly.
Now that he knew Elliot was alright with physicality again, TJ scooted over to his side of the couch and leaned against him. He rested his head against Elliot's shoulder and draped an arm over his stomach, basking in the closeness. "I guess since we're sharing... The last time I got involved with anyone seriously..." TJ paused, swallowing back the mix of bitterness and sadness that seemed to form a lump in his throat. "I was with this married guy for almost a year. A congressman, no less."
