āYou're going to catch a cold.ā Saying his tone was nervous is an understatement. Desire was hot-headed, ready to start a war because Ren opened his mouth and although he was used to it by now, it didn't sting any less. Yet Restraint still worried, cared and without thinking twice he put his jacket around the other's shoulders. He'll deal with the downfall later.
theĀ rainĀ hadĀ stoppedĀ Ā Ā Ā momentsĀ afterĀ heĀ wokeĀ upĀ fromĀ hisĀ napĀ ,Ā jerkedĀ awakeĀ byĀ theĀ deahtlyĀ sceneryĀ paintedĀ inĀ hisĀ dreams.Ā itĀ wouldĀ beĀ aĀ placeĀ toĀ thriveĀ inĀ ,Ā ifĀ itĀ didnātĀ makeĀ himĀ soĀ sickĀ whenĀ rememberingĀ hisĀ deathĀ ,Ā ifĀ theĀ voicesĀ didnātĀ blameĀ him.Ā stillĀ halfĀ asleepĀ ,Ā heartbeatĀ racingĀ wildlyĀ inĀ hisĀ chestĀ ,Ā heĀ madeĀ hisĀ wayĀ toĀ theĀ verandaĀ ,Ā ignoringĀ renĀ whoĀ wasĀ standingĀ onĀ theĀ chair.Ā afterĀ openingĀ theĀ doorĀ ,Ā heĀ inhaledĀ deeplyĀ ,Ā closingĀ hisĀ eyesĀ thenĀ leaningĀ onĀ theĀ railingsĀ ,Ā restingĀ hisĀ headĀ inĀ hisĀ hands.
minutesĀ ofĀ silenceĀ passedĀ himĀ byĀ ,Ā orĀ maybeĀ theĀ worldĀ wasĀ deafenedĀ byĀ theĀ burdensĀ ofĀ hisĀ heartĀ ,Ā untilĀ renāsĀ voiceĀ caughtĀ hisĀ attention.Ā Ā [ DESIRE ]Ā didĀ notĀ mindĀ theĀ coldĀ airĀ onĀ hisĀ exposedĀ skin.Ā theĀ t-shirtĀ andĀ summerĀ shortsĀ didĀ littleĀ toĀ warmĀ himĀ upĀ ,Ā butĀ theĀ freshĀ afterĀ rainĀ breezeĀ comfortedĀ him.Ā theĀ jacketĀ isĀ welcomedĀ ,Ā however.Ā slyĀ doesnātĀ moveĀ ,Ā gazeĀ focusedĀ onĀ theĀ ground.Ā theĀ nightmaresĀ drainedĀ himĀ ofĀ energyĀ ,Ā hisĀ fightingĀ spiritĀ heavilyĀ diminishedĀ underĀ theĀ hauntingĀ voicesĀ screamingĀ forĀ helpĀ stillĀ echoingĀ inĀ hisĀ ears.Ā Ā Ā āĀ thanks.Ā āĀ Ā aĀ quietĀ mutterĀ ,Ā voiceĀ softĀ ,Ā tooĀ softĀ forĀ hisĀ liking.
