Fighting both what he knew he should do, lest he be punished for putting his needs first, and what he wanted to do--shouldn't. do!--which was to give in to the distinct pang of need that had driven the part of him which hungered for contact to leave his head burrowed against a ghost's shoulder. It didn't help that his libido, not just awake now but also primed, was also loudly berating the ending of a kiss before it'd gotten really good.
His hands released the desk and came up to grip Ambrose's sides like the ghost could be an anchor in his own personal storm. And wasn't that just tops? Latch on to the intangible being, there's a good parapsychologist. Unaware of the disturbance that stole the phantom's attention, Alrec clutched him harder while he tried to get the conflict under control. A deep breath. There wasn't any harm in accepting comfort. Another deep breath. He could give this just a moment more.
What must this look like, he wondered, and was pleased that such an inane thought had finally crept through the more painful ruckus of his mind. He rolled his head so his cheek lay on a pale shoulder and his eyes could study the elegant length of a strangely warm neck. Ambrose was sturdy enough, but had he made himself visible to any of the other occupants of Lavenza who happened to stroll by? Or just him? Did Alrec appear to be hugging the air? He moved his arms around Ambrose as if he could test the theory himself, soaking in the warmth.
Oh, but he would suffer for this later.
With that lovely reminder, his internal battle continued to rage. So lost in it, he started when Ambrose spoke, a jerking motion that eased the moment the ghost moved to hold him in an embrace. "I have not," he said quietly, refusing to let his anxiety drive up even further at those questions. "There's nothing else on the books for another couple of days, and heaven knows I didn't keep many personal contacts in Valesport proper. Perhaps they belong to someone else? And if that's the case," he added, easing his head up from the ghost's shoulder to meet his gaze, "I'm not the one you'll need to ask."

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
