[Chuck makes quick work of brushing his teeth, then grabs his own dirty clothes before walking out.
Once he shuts the door behind him, he rests his back against the wall. It's puzzling. Considering what they just did, and how this was so usual for them before, he shouldn't have been this flustered. His heart shouldn't be threatening to beat right out of his chest and his world shouldn't look so small. But it does.
He sighs deeply , hand resting over his stomach. He can see things changing - the taste of the toothpaste in the morning, the white noise when he lies in bed at night, and Mike's smile - and it scares him because he knows they won't be able to just not talk about it for too long.
He makes a bundle with his clothes and moves back to Mike's room, to gather whatever things he left scattered about.]
