"If you are sure." He began to head upstairs with her.

She followed closely behind.

....Seculus?

2016-02-24 07:06:47

🌀

They reached the upper floor and one of the guest room doors cracked open quietly. He peered out from behind his hair.

....yes......oh.

2016-02-24 07:07:34

●

She peeked in behind him.

Zane said he wanted to see you. I didn't tell him what happened but...he's worried.

2016-02-24 07:13:12

🌀

Zane looked at her. "Are you talking to him...?"

...I know he is, but I....do I have to?......he's...very.....

2016-02-24 07:14:11

●

"Yes and no."

He won't hurt you...I promise.

2016-02-24 07:17:18

🌀

"...what? Oh. Did you turn him?"

........I know he won't....but he'll want to....touch me, and......

2016-02-24 07:18:04

●

"What? No. Never."

I won't let him.

2016-02-24 07:20:05

🌀

"Are you having one of those....'eye conversations', then?"

.....are you sure?

2016-02-24 07:20:52

●

"No just...God gave me something."

Yes.

2016-02-24 07:22:11

🌀

"Ohh...so you are reading his mind."

Hesitantly, he opened the door a little wider and shuffled out into the hallway, looking up at Zane. He stepped forward to hug Seculus and he flinched away.

2016-02-24 07:23:30

●

"Ye- wait." She reached out and took his arm. "He doesn't want to be touched right now."

2016-02-24 07:26:56

🌀

He stopped and lowered his arms. "Oh. I'm sorry." Seculus relaxed slightly. Yeah, he would understand that. But now he was more concerned. Had he been beaten? Abused again? Seculus shook his head a little. ....no? That was slightly better, at least.

2016-02-24 07:28:30

●

"You don't need to apologize. It's not you fault."

2016-02-24 07:30:36

🌀

"...I would not want to make it worse, though, by accident." The next part he directed toward Seculus. "If you do start talking again, though, I will be happy to talk you through it...assuming it is something I can actually help with, of course." Seculus smiled, just a little, more in acknowledgment than anything, and Zane smiled back.

●

Ivory smiled as well. At least it was something.

"Which one of you dildos ate the last cherry popsicle!" Nick called from the kitchen.

2016-02-24 07:37:13

🌀

Seculus's smile disappeared and he darted back into his room. Zane frowned and looked down the stairs. "That man does not sound pleasant."

2016-02-24 07:37:38

●

"He's-"

There was the sound of loud thuds as he ran up the steps.

2016-02-24 07:40:44

🌀

The second he appeared, Zane stared him down sternly. "That was unnecessary."

2016-02-24 07:42:17

●

Nick stared up at him. "Who is this one?"

"Zane. My boyfriend."

"...I thought he was Cale's boyfriend."

2016-02-24 07:50:07

🌀

He almost said Cale was straight. Then he thought better. "....I am not Cale's boyfriend, I am not interested in men that way. We are roommates, and he turned me."

2016-02-24 07:52:07

●

"Turned you ga-"

Ivory elbowed him.

2016-02-24 07:55:31

🌀

"No. He definitely did not. As is evidenced by this." He held up Ivory's hand in his. "Do you have something to actually talk to me about? What is your name?"

2016-02-24 07:56:36

●

"I'm Nick. Ivory's friend."

"He's a lot nicer once you get to know him."

2016-02-24 07:58:43

🌀

"...oh. Nick. You were mentioned. If you say so...."
