I notice two tears starting to roll down the outer corners of both of his eyes as he begins to speak. He explains that he'd rather not live permanently in my house as it has memories from my past (ex). He'd prefer us to start fresh even if only in a studio. I then feel him cup my cheeks presumably trying to stop himself from wiping his tears as another pair leave his eyes following the previous streaks.

"We need a place to go...just for now...and my ex has moved out." I begin lovingly cupping his cheeks catching his tears as they are rolling. "It doesn't have to be permanent, but your ex is going to be living in your old place and we need somewhere to stay...just for now." I continue feeling his face grow hotter as I can tell he is holding back just a bit. "I love you and hate to see you in so much pain." I finish slowly thumbing away his tears and their streaks until I end up just under his eyes.

As I'm still wiping his tears he finally agrees to stay at my ex's house, but specifics that it'll only be two days max as he'll start looking for a place right away.

"Ok. Just remember we're in this together so wherever you go I'll be right there." I say understandingly as we both begin to unpack his belongings from the car and into my house.

I guess he was too upset to hear/understand what I had just told him as he blurted out that he thought I was not going to go with him when he moved. He continued to ramble saying how much he'd miss me if I didn't go with him.

"Of course I'll come if you really think it's best to move. I couldn't stand being away from you either." I begin caringly trying to calm him. "This is only temporary. I mean we do need somewhere to be...just for now." I finish as I set down the box in my hand so I can give him a giant comforting/reassuring hug. (Does his tears stream into my neck, shoulder during the hug or have I calmed him enough for them to stop?)

As I gave him a hug I felt his cheek resting against my exposed shoulder. Most of his tears were already dried so after we parted I picked up the box I had previously set down and finished helping him unload the boxes from the car into the house.

As soon as we got the last of the boxes into the house...

He asks me if I'd like to rest for a bit to which I readily agree. It had already been a busy morning. He quickly took a spot on my couch then motioned for me to sit. I happily sat down next to him, throwing my legs across his lap making myself as comfortable as possible. He then takes out his phone mentioning he'd like to start looking to a new place for us.

"As long as it's close enough to both of our jobs it doesn't have to be very fancy or big. A one bedroom or even studio would be fine." I say as he begins scrolling through apartment listings close by.

I point out a few I like, some are too far away and others are too expensive. Before I know it two hrs have gone by. We've saved a few listing that look promising and decide to call them later.
