❛ you're .. awfully aggressive — ❜ he seems genuinely afraid. nero probably senses it. he's not the only one with trust issues.

✍︎. (ooc.) i wanna interact with people grrrr

✍︎. (ooc.) hey, go follow!

does he need to go comfort him? yes. so guess who's knocking at his door.

good. sigh. he opens the door, closing it behind him and immediately hunting for him, calling his name.

he looks in his room, and he immediately rushes to his side, holding him tightly. he can tell what's happening. ❛ hey, hey — calm down. you're okay. you aren't burning. ❜

him trying to shove him away makes him just hold him tighter. memories, not right now, please.. ❛ you aren't burning. hey, look at me. look at me — ❜ he puts a hand on his cheek. ❛ you aren't burning. you're in your room, i'm here, holding you. ❜

he flinches a little, and he closes his eyes, holding salem tighter. his hands go to hold his so he can stop trying to pat out the flames. he can't stop him with words, and the fear is basically radiating off of him and effecting him, so he's just going to hold him.

he flinches a few times within those hours, signalling he was reliving his own death a few times. he almost felt the blood. little did he know.. he whimpers a little, holding salem's hands tightly. he can't believe he let himself relive his death when salem was.

when he finally noticed salem is calm, one hand slowly moves to wrap around his own stomach. he's in a lot of pain. salem and thomas experience things very differently. glancing at him, he just shakes his head no, burying his face into his shoulder again. so much pain.

... pokes the reader.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

AGGRESSIVE HUGGING. HE NEEDS TO GIVE HIS BOY SO MUCH ATTENTION.

AAAAAND.. mwah. ❛ happy birthday. ❜
