"No." It was very direct honesty, but luckily Max added on immediately. "I came to find you as soon as I reached awareness." So he didn't have time to miss him. He knew his place was by his side.

Max didn't quite trust Harry's self-preservation, so he kept on focusing until at least one arm materialised more properly. Enough for him to reach for Harry's wrist and hold it, to keep him from trying to touch again. "You missed me?"

He knew Harry had said it, but he still asked. No one had ever missed him before. "I'm here. I'm with you."
