"Mmkay…" Nix mumbled in reply, not really caring much what he was doing anymore.
Big Brother: Gay Edition (MATURE, Enter at own risk!)
group
Derlik grabbed the remote, turning to a movie. He held Nix close, patting his back.
Nix looked up at the movie weakly, hardly even seeing it. He was having trouble focusing, and it was hard to see the TV.
group
Derlik looked down at Nix, gently kissing his cheek and keeping him close.
"I've got you…"
Nix closed his eyes, letting the movie just be background noise while Derlik held him. "Are Cas and Zachary okay…?" He asked softly.
group
"They… I think they're still asleep," Derlik said softly. "They should be okay…"
"Okay…" Nix hiccuped a bit and curled up tighter. "What about miss Serna? Is she back yet?"
group
"No, she isn't," Derlik said softly. She was still caught up in her machines…
"Mm… hopefully she'll be back soon…" Nix sighed softly.
group
"Hopefully…" Derlik let out a breath, hugging Nix close.
"Mm…" Nix huddled closer to Derlik. "Do you think she'll be back by tomorrow?"
group
"I think she might be," Derlik agreed. No, she wouldn't, but he wanted to give Nix hope.
"Mm… hopefully she will. And hopefully her girlfriend is okay, if that's why she left."
group
"Hopefully." Derlik let out a breath. He'd have to tell Fale later to come help Serna.
"Mm… how long until we have to leave?" He asked in a weak, soft voice.
group
"Three… three hours," Derlik said softly. It was almost morning.
Nix nodded weakly, tightly gripping Derlik's shirt. "I… o-okay…"
group
Derlik held Nix close, kissing his head.
"We won't be able to fall back asleep, will we…"
"Probably not…" He huddled closer to Derlik, trembling a bit.
group
Derlik held Nix to himself, his hand moving to run through Nix's hair.
Nix leaned into Derlik's touch, trying to relax, but obviously still pretty distressed.
group
Derlik held his breath a moment, kissing Nix's head.
"I've got you…"
"Mmm…" Nix looked away, falling silent and planning to keep quiet until he had to leave.
group
Derlik fell quiet as well. He hugged Nix close, kissing his head.
Nix kept quiet until the sun rose, looking up weakly with dark circles under his eyes. "Mm…"
group
Derlik looked up slowly when he realized it was day in the dark caverns of the Underworld, letting out a breath.
"It's… time to go…"
Nix turned his ears back and buried his face in Derlik's chest, obviously not wanting to go in the slightest.
group
Derlik was silent, holding Nix close. Still, the god stood. He couldn't let Mother get mad at them.
Nix whimpered softly, starting to tremble a bit when Derlik picked him up. It was time. He couldn't put it off or ignore it anymore.
group
"I've got you…" Derlik was silent, holding Nix close.
