Frank takes his hand away at the flinch, standing on his knees so he can watch over Matt and catch him if things get bad. He keeps murmuring nothings, Shhh, it's okay and the like until it seems like the other man is calming down. Finally, Matt speaks up and he could almost laugh. He won't, though, knowing the other man can probably sense the way his eyes have filled with water somehow. Freak.

"Yeah, me either, buddy. Let's get up?" he suggests, voice soft and impossibly gentle as he slowly moves to get up, hand on Matt's knee for a quarter of an instant and then a more solid touch as his hand settles on Matt's shoulder. "If you're ready, I'm right here."
