He sniffled softly, biting his lip a little.
You'll See Just How Crazy I Can Be (rp with Icefire, feel free to stalk!)

"Do… you want me to stop touching you?" The god asked, his hand still against Nik's cheek.
Nik shrugged, still trying to blink away his tears.
group
Derlik carefully moved his thumb, wiping away a few stray tears from Nik's cheek.
Nik looked up at him uncertainly, still trembling faintly.
group
"You're okay, Nik…" Derlik spoke softly, doing his best to comfort Nik.
Nik closed his eyes tightly, a faint whine leaving his mouth.
group
Derlik hesitated, then slowly pulled his hand away. He figured even now Nik didn't want his comfort.
He sniffled quietly, one hand coming up to rub his eyes.
group
Derlik kept a close eye on Nik, keeping close to him.
Nik was still shaking. He almost wanted to ask for a hug, but didn't know if he really wanted to ask or not.
group
Derlik was close to Nik, just a bit, his hands resting between him. He wanted to hug Nik close, and comfort him. But he didn't push.
Nik let out another faint whimper, trembling slightly.
group
Derlik couldn't do it. He couldn't leave Nik to suffer like this. He reached out again, gently moving over to hug Nik.
"Shh… It's okay," the god murmured, trying to comfort Nik.
Nik cuddled close to Derlik, leaning into him with a faint sigh.
group
Derlik rubbed Nik's back gently, holding him close.
"I've got you… you're going to be okay."
He let out a shaky breath, holding onto Derlik.
group
Derlik rubbed Nik's back, tucking the man's head against his chest.
"It's okay…"
Nik sniffled a little bit, breathing shakily.
group
Derlik continued to gently speak soft comforts to Nik, patting his back and doing his best to help Nik feel better.
Nik let out a shaky breath, still holding onto Derlik.
group
Derlik held Nik close, arms wrapped gently around him.
"No one is going to hurt you, okay? I've got you…"
Nik swallowed softly, closing his eyes tightly.
group
Derlik fell quiet, just holding Nik close. He started to hum softly, what sounded like an old lullaby.
Nik listened to him quietly, trembling faintly.
group
Derlik continued to hum, keeping his voice low and gentle. He hoped it would help Nik calm down, like it had Derlik long ago.
Nik eventually did start to calm down, relaxing faintly into the god's arms.
group
Derlik continued to hum as Nik calmed down, a hand gently going up to the human's head. He was glad, to see Nik doing better.
Nik kept slowly calming down, held in Derlik's arms.
group
"How are you doing?" Derlik finally asked, when it seemed Nik had calmed down enough
