Big Brother: Gay Edition (MATURE, Enter at own risk!)

"You're going to be okay, Cas," Halm said, tearing up. He hated seeing Cas in so much pain, and fear. "Everything is going to be okay. It won't be much longer, I promise." Marcos took Cas's other leg in his hands. With no warning, he pushed it back in too, resulting in the same pain. Halm held Cas's head close, trying his best. He glanced up at Nix. Oh God, he needed help too. Halm couldn't be with both of them, though.
"Nix, Nix come here," he said softly. Marcos raised an eyebrow, but didn't object.

This time, Marcos took hold of Cas's arm.
"We're almost halfway done," Halm promised. He was on the verge of tears himself now, of letting the tiny drops of water fall on Cas's face. Halm glanced up at Nix, putting his hand on Nix's arm a moment.
"I'm so sorry," he said, then took his hand away to hold Cas's head again. Marcos watched, not very sympathetic. He pushed Cas's arm in.

Halm wiped Cas's tears away, his own spilling over.
"Almost done Cas, see? Both of us are here for you." He said softly. His own head was almost touching Cas's at this point, he was so close. Marcos took Cas's second arm in his hands, not hesitating to force it down too.

(just wait until Torin goes through this!)

Halm was trying to comfort both Cas and Nix. He put one arm around Nix, pulling him close and covering his ear with one hand and the other way with his chest.
"You can't hold him anymore. I need to put his head in." Halm didn't pull away at first, but he slowly retreated. Marcos took Cas's head in his hands.
"Take a deep breath," he ordered.

Unfortunately, Marcos wasn't going to let Cas scream. He covered Cas's mouth and nose with one hand tightly to ensure he held his breath. Halm wrapped both arms around Nix, wanting to comfort at least someone. Marcos shoved Cas's head down, holding him under the water. The head was taking longer than the other parts of him had. He seemed to be down there forever.

Halm held Nix closer, not letting him go. He would hold Nix back if he had to. Finally, Marcos let Cas up, let him breath. He was completely back in his body now. Halm reached over as soon as he was up, pulling him away from Marcos and tucked securely into his arm.
"I've got you," he said, crying softly, "it's over now."

"Thank you," Halm said to Marcos, and then he was carrying Cas and Nix away, out of the water, out of the baths entirely. He held Cas and Nix so very close. He didn't think he would be able to bring himself to let go any time soon, either. Soon, they were back at the house, back home.

Halm brought everyone inside. Thankfully, the watering can had already been put away. He brought them to the bedroom, sitting down with Nix and Cas in his lap.
"He's drained," he said softly when he realized Nix was trying to wake Cas up. "He needs rest for now."

Halm laid Cas gently down in his lap, wrapping both arms around Nix. Halm himself was crying softly. He put his hand on Nix's head lightly.
"It's over now," he said softly. "It's over. Cas is gonna be okay."

"It's not your fault," Halm said gently, "It was an accident. If anything, it's my fault. I'm the one who left the watering can out." He rubbed Nix's head, being gentle with him. He wasn't upset at Nix, and he was sure Cas wasn't either.

Halm continued to gently rub Nix, wanting to help him calm down.
"I couldn't either," he said softly. "But he's safe now. He's safe, and alive, Nix." He looked down a at Cas's unconscious form, tearing up a bit.

"And he'll have that help. We're going to make sure he gets over this." Halm lightly put his hand on Cas's as well. He wanted Cas to feel safe here.

Halm nodded, biting his lip a little.
"I'm sorry for bringing you both here," he said softly. "None of this would have happened…" He sighed a little. He just wanted Cas and Nix to be safe. They were both his responsibility now, and he was screwing up.
