“No” humbled into Dwayne’s side, biting his long thumb nail. “Get them so stop”

Dwayne gently rubs his Laddie’s back soothingly, sighing. “Believe me, bud, I’d love to, but I think they’re gonna keep goin’ for a while.. maybe we can convince David to let us hunt some of ‘em? But there might be too many people out tonight for that..”

Laddies tears became more pronate as he started tearing clumps of hair from his head out of desperation. He usually was calm and collected but the fourth was one of the few times he freaked out.

”Hey- woah, woah. Breathe for me, bud. It’s alright, I’m here.” Dwayne says as he gently tries to pry Laddie’s hands out of his hair to stop from hurting himself further. Once he manages to get a hand away he gently places it on his own chest, right over his heart. “Listen- ya feel that? That’s my heart beat. Can ya feel me breathing too? I want ya’ to try and match that, okay? Just take deep breaths.. in.. and out..”

“Nonono make them stop” laddie mumbled over and over, shaking his head side to side quickly.

”I know, bud, I know it’s loud. But I need you to breathe with me, okay?” Dwayne says, pulling Laddie into his arms properly and holding him close, trying to at least muffle the sounds of the fireworks a little bit to hopefully help.

It took a while but laddies breath became somewhat normal. Though he still flinched at the fireworks in the background

”There we go, that’s it… I’m sorry it’s so loud, bud. Hopefully people will come to their damn senses and they’ll stop soon- if they don’t I’ll head out and get you some headphones, alright?” Dwayne offers, still gently rubbing Laddie’s back comfortingly.

Laddies grip on Dwayne shirt tightened, “no don’t leave” he whimpered

Dwayne held Laddie tighter in response, patting his back. “Alright, alright- we’ll get one of the other guys to go instead, yeah? I think Marko was plannin’ on making a snack run later anyways.”

Laddie nodded into Dwayne chest, drying his tears on the older vampires tank top

”Feelin’ any better, bud?” Dwayne asks softly, still trying to shield Laddie’s ears from the ongoing fireworks.

Laddie only nodded slightly as he tried to pull up a blanket from across the nest onto him.

Dwayne helped tuck the blanket around Laddie, gently rocking from side to side slowly. “Good, how about ya’ try to get some sleep now, yeah? I’ll be right here whenever you wake up..”

I do what I do and I do it well

That you do, maybe a little too well at times

What, you jelly of the audience?

Heh, maybe a little. But no front row seat tops the view of ya’ I get to see everyday, so I can’t say I’m too jealous

Hmm see, just enjoy that you can flex on others that you are one of the select few that can see me in my most raw and vulnerable form

Fair point, you raw and vulnerable is one of my favorites sights as well, if I may say..

Pls don’t turn this dirty

Ofc angel- I do actually quite like when you’re vulnerable with us, makes me feel special and all that

Heh, I could say the same about you, babe. Yet somehow I think my list about you would be longer

“No” humbled into Dwayne’s side, biting his long thumb nail. “Get them so stop”

God damn tonight is loud what the fuck. Can’t a guy go on a night walk in peace??

Guess so- the fireworks were pretty, at least. Just loud as all hell

I don’t know if “managed” is the word I’d use to describe the noise you lot make. Do you have a sound tech guy? Is someone monitoring levels? Because I can hear you guys from my apartment, which is an almost a mile’s walk away from the boardwalk.

Shockingly yes, however most of the time it’s someone the boardwalk/venue staff hire for us and it’s usually someone kinda shit. We’re trying to find someone permanent but no luck yet- we even let Michael have a go at it once. Key word once.
