" you may still have a job, I work every midnight to whenever I want to close and jackass here is a freelancer." Solace said, pestering callum
"I'm very sure that saying you were abducted by the fae would get your job back though," he said chuckling slightly as he did
Callum shrugged, " not feeling the greatest today, just enjoying the snuggles."
Callum winced but didn't answer, his brain was killing him, replaying the sound of Ollie choking on his blood, the shots of the gun. His body started shaking as his brain took over. Flashbacks cause him to phase out of what seems like real time and back into the situation from the start. He felt his body curl into an almost fetal position, as his brain relapsed, *bang, crunch, and the choking sounds as the branches broke under Ollie. The smell of the dried blood and dead deer so families in his nose. (panik atak)
Callum hadn't realized he was sobbing, just now coming out of the horrible relapse. Solace stood over him and he gripped the man's hand. Something happened in those woods, and it fucked callum up. This was his third panic attack in the last two weeks. It callum would never tell solace what had triggered them, only that he was alright and that he would be fine.this wasn't fine. This was heavy trauma.
Oliver was scared, he had not seen Callum like this before. Hadn't witnessed a panic attack from an outside view, he had had some in the past, mostly when school was bad, but he hadn't in a few months, and seeing Callum like this was making him freak out a bit.
'Its my fault, I asked him, I pushed him…'
He took a deep breath, trying to remember the things years of therapy taught him, he couldn't freak out now, not when Callum was having an attack, Solace would be stuck trying to help them both, and Oliver didn't want to put that on him.
He looked at Callum with tear filled eyes, a small pain in his back and on the back of his head, where the scars are, as if his body was reacting to Callum's flashbacks.
Solace was able to pull Callum out of the attack, gently loving on the smaller and making small gushing sounds. He rocked Callum gently, making small hu shes and running his fingers through the smaller hair. " its okay, Callum. Ollies is back now… He's okay.." He said softly, looking up atOlliee with a worried expression
"ollie hell be okay, i promise. i don't think I could handle both of you at once " solace said tiredy
solace, could feel his anxiety rise with the two others. " why don't we all try to relax in our own rooms for a bit?" he questioned, letting Callum head to his room first
solace sighed " cuddles?" he asked as he went back to his room. grabbing his waystation(no copyright here lol) controller
“ its okay Ollie. You couldn't have known..” he said softly
"i… I don't know, he's been like this since you didn't return.. whatever happened, really fucked him up.." doubt crept into solaces mind. What happened, what made a strong man like that cave? All he wanted to know was how he could help his friend, but Callum was locked up tight, maybe they'd never know…
Oliver looked at Solace saddly, "I wish he would tell us, then we could help…I hate seeing him like this". Oliver pouted, he loved his roomates, he himself didnt know if it was just friendly, or something more…and it hurt to see them struggle. He sighed and started to fall asleep.
solace sighed as well "he's always been like that, you know this," he said softly, pulling the blanket onto both of them.
"thats what we all thought.." solace said, patting the others back to put him to sleep
