Derlik ran his fingers through Nik's hair, looking up at Smoke when he heard the kitten. He sighed faintly again.
You'll See Just How Crazy I Can Be (rp with Icefire, feel free to stalk!)

Nik closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. Smoke shifted, looking at them. "What's going on?" he asked curiously.
group
"Nik isn't feeling really good right now," Derlik explained gently. He held Nik close, raising one hand up to the shrunken boy.
Smoke frowned. "Why not?" he asked, eyes flickering from Nik to Derlik. "Did you do something to him?"
group
Derlik shook his head a bit.
"We… Ran into someone that Nik used to know," Derlik said gently.
Smoke still seemed confused. "I don't understand." He said.
group
"I… He just had a bad experience with the person." Derlik held Nik close still, rubbing his back.
Nik glanced up at Smoke, wanting to hold the kitten, but…Smoke was currently a tiny human, not a cat at all. Smoke cocked his head. "Oh."
group
Derlik looked up when he saw Nik glance at Smoke.
"Do you want to help Nik?" He asked gently of the kitten.
Smoke nodded eagerly, shifting closer. "Mhm." Nik closed his eyes again.
group
Derlik reached up to Smoke, tucking his cheek gently and turning him back to a normal sized kitten. He picked Smoke up, moving him over to Nik.
Smoke mewed softly, squirming until he was pressed up close to Nik's chest. Nik shifted to wrap his arms around the kitten, holding him close.
group
Derlik held Nik and Smoke close now, not saying anything. He ran his fingers through Nik's hair.
Nik kept his eyes closed, holding Smoke close to his body.
group
Derlik held Nik close, still running his fingers through Nik's hair and over his back.
Nik took a deep breath, still holding onto Smoke.
group
"No one is going to hurt you like that anymore," Derlik promised gently.
Nik shrugged slightly, still holding onto Smoke.
group
"That includes me. I'm not going to hurt you." Derlik sighed, watching Nik.
"You already did." Nik replied quietly, not opening his eyes. Smoke stayed pressed close to Nik, purring quietly.
group
"And it won't happen again." Derlik cupped Nik's head lightly.
He shook his head a little bit, not opening his eyes.
group
Derlik fell silent again.
(*Derlik lmao)
Smoke kept purring quietly, looking up at Nik worriedly. The little kitten didn't understand what had happened or why it had effected Nik so badly.
group
(do I need to say it again? Crusty toeeees)
Derlik looked at Nik gently.
"You'll be okay," he said gently.
(I didn't know you had a toe fetish, Swim :P)
Nik shrugged slightly. Yeah, maybe that was true, but…still.
group
(-o-)
Derlik sighed, keeping Nik close.
(;P)
Nik kept holding tightly to Smoke.
group
Derlik carefully rested one hand on Nik's neck.
Calm… He slowly started to influence Nik.
Nik took in a deep breath, slowly starting to calm down.
