Cerulean shook his head, though, attempting to stifle another sob. “Don’t hide,” Blue muttered, just loud enough for him to hear. “I’m here. Let it out, diamond.” Cerulean pulled him in, careful and loving all the while, a quiet thank you. 

Still, though, he said, broken and hurting, “They're all gone. I can't remember, and I miss them, and I should– I should be doing better, why the hell am I here, just to–” Another sob broke him off, broken and grieving and god, it sounded like he was breaking.

Blue understood. And he hated it. 

Broken memories. A quiet whisper of, why was I saved if I can't get any better? 

Well, maybe Blue can't figure himself out, but damn if he wasn't going to do his best to help Cerul do what he couldn't.

Blue leaned the side of his head against Cerul’s, slow and soft, unsurprised when Cerul leaned in in return. “I won’t tell you it’s okay, because I know it isn’t. But-but if I have anything to say about it, it will be, got that? I’m here. I’m here, so you’re not there, and we’ve got everyone else." He pulled himself closer, impossibly so, anything and everything to say I care, I'm here, please, it'll be alright. "And you’ve been through a lot, I know you have been. You deserve to grieve, you can have your moment, you need one. I'll cover for you, I’m here. Let it out, big guy.”

Cerul gave a quiet little laugh at that one, but he did.
