"Say something at least?"

🌀

He bit his lip and remained silent. He hadn't spoken in a week. He wasn't going to speak now. Even now.

2016-02-21 09:39:36

●

"...Well I guess that's good enough for now..."

2016-02-21 09:40:22

🌀

He was still sorry. So sorry.... They rubbed his back for a second. "....here. An 'I'm sorry' bonus or two."

2016-02-21 09:43:01

●

"..." She looked to him. "He doesn't have to apologize."

2016-02-21 09:44:29

🌀

"No, an apology from me." They drew their hand back. "He'll be able to tell when that vampire you've been having trouble with is in the area. /Anywhere/ in the area. And...something extra for you and Ivory."

●

"What...?" What is it now.?

2016-02-21 09:52:55

🌀

...what did they do? I'm scared...is it something terrible again? Sometimes they don't seem to know when something's 'good' or not, I-I don't know, I just hope it isn't something like...like before...I don't know....

They glanced between them to see her reaction.

●

She looked to Seculus. "What was that? Say that again?"

2016-02-21 09:58:05

🌀

I blinked. I didn't say anything. What...?

2016-02-21 09:59:36

●

...It then hit her. Well this was something to get used to.

2016-02-21 10:00:53

🌀

What? /What/?....

"...well? Are you alright with it?"

2016-02-21 10:01:21

●

"I mean...I guess it would be nice to read his mind sometimes. Thank you."

2016-02-21 10:04:29

🌀

They smiled a little, tired. "You're welcome." He wasn't sure he liked it. Now she'd have to listen while he went on and on in his head about stupid things like dying, that'd be horrible, he kept it in his head for a /reason/...!

2016-02-21 10:07:47

●

"Seculus." She reached out and took his hand. "It's okay."

2016-02-21 10:10:51

🌀

He was shuddering, and couldn't squeeze it back. If there was one thing he didn't want, it was people having to see what went on in his head. Madison was one thing. He wasn't around him quite as much. Lance had heard /one/ dark thought of his and gotten concerned. Ivory being able to hear all of it.../all the time/....

2016-02-21 10:13:03

●

She moved to where she was right in front of him. He could read her thoughts. He could read them loud and clear. Each little dark thought she had. And he was still here. Did he really think it wouldn't be the same for her?

2016-02-21 10:26:03

🌀

.....maybe not after this.

2016-02-21 10:26:51

●

She said she was never going to leave. Why would she now?

2016-02-21 10:28:21

🌀

He cheated on her......he was disgusting....horrible.....he was broken now......like he wasn't before.

2016-02-21 10:29:05

●

He wasn't broken. It wasn't his fault. The day she found him on the porch proved that enough.

2016-02-21 10:44:36

🌀

...that just proved that he couldn't handle it. Like everything else. It was his fault, he could've stopped himself, but instead he.....he............

2016-02-21 10:46:25

●

She placed a hand on his shoulder. Breathe, Seculus. It's okay.

2016-02-21 10:48:51

🌀

He started crying quietly again. He'd kept himself from doing it for a week, by not talking, mostly, but now he could be heard again and he didn't want to be.

2016-02-21 10:51:33

●

Ivory softly rubbed his back. This was the least she could do.
