It helps a lot more than he ever expected it to help and it's hard to focus on anything except for that weird, raw ache in the center of his chest that comes from the realization that he doesn't willingly let people touch him very often.

Not that he says anything immediately. He's listening. It suddenly makes more sense now why Jason let Clarke take him, why Jason likes Clarke and the nature of their relationship. If Clarke's already been fighting that battle...why? Why would she know that?
And then those last words settle in his ears.]
