He shouldn't need a moment like this, he should be stronger. But Mick is simply too damned tired to care. He needs it. A few moments to lean against his partner, to borrow some of his strength to bolster his own when it flags.

Naturally his partner can't sit in the quiet for more than a minute before he needs to talk and Mick's huff in reply is nothing but fond as he turns his head to catch his lips. "Shut up Lenny. Ain't gotta say anything." He simply has to be there with him.

That's all Mick has ever needed.
