Lucas threw the bottle across the room and held his head in his hands, trembling. I can't… I can't… I don't deserve it… The nurse quickly got up and came over to him. "Lucas, calm down, baby… it's alright…" He shook his head. "I'll get you some more meds, okay?" He nodded a bit and she brought over the bottle from before, giving it to Callie. Make sure he takes two.
My Heart Is Like The Ocean Searching // O/O // Closed
Callie nodded, moving closer to Lucas and holding out two pills in his metal palm, praying Lucas would take them.
Lucas tentatively took the pills and dry swallowed these as well, moving closer to Callie. He gets clingy when he's stressed. Be careful. The nurse warned Callie.
It's okay, He reassured her, hesitantly putting an arm around Lucas, unsure of his reaction.
Lucas crawled into his lap and hugged him tightly, trembling. I warned you. The nurse shrugged, laughing quietly to herself.
Callie smiled, blushing a little bit. How on earth did he get into these situations? The perfect prince, hugging him. He wrapped his other arm around Lucas anyway, keeping him close.
Lucas buried his face in Callie's shoulder, unable to relax yet. He seemed drained despite it being early in the day.
Callie let him, his blush more visible against his tan skin now than before, although Lucas didn't seem to see it.
Lucas curled his legs around Callie's waist and his arms around his neck, needing the closeness and too upset to be embarrassed yet. The nurse just kept quietly laughing to herself and returned to work on other things.
Callie kept him close, letting him do whatever he needed without complaint. Why would anyone complain about this? Having an adorable prince sitting in your lap, hugging you like his life depended on it. Callie knew Lucas needed some time to let him calm down, so he gave him time.
"I-I'm sorry…" Lucas whispered, his voice breaking. He knew Callie couldn't hear him and his hands were shaking far too badly to sign anything, so all he could do was hug Callie tighter and hope he'd relax.
Callie rubbed his back gently, holding him close, as he knew Lucas just needed closeness to calm down.
After a few minutes, Lucas finally seemed to start relaxing. Probably because his meds kicked in. Either way, he wasn't as tense and his shaking wasn't as strong.
Callie noticed this and relaxed his hold on Lucas the slightest bit, although he didn't let go quite yet.
Lucas reluctantly pulled away, repeatedly signing 'sorry'. He couldn't make eye contact with Callie and he was starting to blush a bit. He hadn't bothered to move his legs yet, though.
It's okay, Callie signed back repeatedly, not sure if he should take his other hand from around Lucas' shoulders yet.
Did I make you uncomfortable? Lucas glanced up at Callie nervously.
Of course not, Callie signed back, a warm smile on his face.
Are you sure? I shouldn't have clung to you like that. I'm sorry. Lucas didn't seem very reassured, probably also because he was still sitting in Callie's lap.
It's okay, seriously, Callie signed, his free hand still around Lucas' shoulders.
Lucas hesitated before replying. Okay. Another pause. Would it make you uncomfortable if I didn't get off of you immediately?
Callie smiled again, blushing the smallest bit as he replied. No. Not at all.
Okay. Lucas's hands trembled a bit and he tentatively hugged Callie again, hiding his face.
Callie hugged him tightly again, enjoying the feeling of holding something, even in his own metal hands.
Lucas sighed softly and seemed to relax, glad that Callie didn't think he was weird. Honestly, he really enjoyed being close to people, but he almost never got to even touch someone else. The nurse was pretty much the only one he could go to when he got excessively stressed since one, she had his pills for it, and two, she would let him hug her and wouldn't report him to the king and queen or anything.
Callie sighed softly, resting his head on top of Lucas' to further comfort him. He hadn't had anyone to hold like this since he left Australia, his best and only friend being in Mexico. He liked the feeling, the comfort and warmth that came from it.
We should probably go. Lucas signed nervously, glancing over at the nurse. I know somewhere where we could be alone.
Callie nodded, letting go of Lucas almost reluctantly.
Lucas hesitated before untangling himself from Callie. The nurse tossed him another water bottle, which he caught, and he pulled Callie up with his free hand. He led him through hallways until they reached an obscure room that seemed to be a sort of lounge. Lucas was the only one who ever came here, so he knew they'd be left alone.
Callie looked around, spotting a couch and sitting on it, looking up at Lucas. The room was rather cold compared to the rest of the castle, and he pulled his leather jacket tighter around him.
