[Maybe it was a horrible, ugly, battered mistake of a friendship. Maybe Luke did need a better excuse for a friend.
But the fact remained that Guy was still Luke's best friend. They've been through so many trials together, and they came out of it stronger than ever. Why should this be any different? Sure, it hurt. It hurt so much, and Luke is sure that he hadn't felt that low in a while. Maybe if Asch hadn't taken over his mind after he destroyed Akzeriuth, then he'd be the way he was too. Perhaps for much longer.
But here they are. Still holding on to this friendship, having been through the ultimate test. Maybe they feel like they don't deserve each other at the moment. But here they are.
The smile on Luke's face becomes more genuine, though it's still weak. He leans his head up a bit to nudge against Guy's, a simple, affectionate little gesture, and the arm around Guy strengthens now that he's returning the hold.
He's here. And he's not going anywhere, no matter what this place may throw at them.]
