No one had ever touched the scars like that. Hank had occassionally touched there, usually in giving him another injection, but nothing quite like that. It brought a shiver out of Charles that he could repress; the touch was almost intimate even though he knew it wasn't meant to be. His hand came up, thumb rubbing over the same place Kurt had touched to erase that tingling feeling left behind.
"...needle marks," he said very quietly, admitting aloud something that only Hank would know. The sleeve was tugged back into place and Charles flexed his elbow once before he looked back up to Kurt. "Sometimes, we leave scars on the outside to bear the ones inside." His were not intentional on the same level of Kurt's, but he had done the deed in the depths of his pain.
"Some... will never understand and in reality, they can't."
