Jared let out a faint breath, closing his eyes for a moment.
Idk what I'm doing but I have a character // OxO // Closed
Victor finished reading the chapter after a little while and set down the book. He still kept his arms around Jared as he rests back into the bed, making sure the other was comfortable.
Jared blinked when Victor shifted, but didn't really move.
Victor glanced at Jared. "How are you feeling?" He murmured. He wished be could do something to take away the pain the other had been going through but he didn't know how.
He shrugged faintly. "I…I don't know. I just…I can't believe he would do this to me." he replied in a quiet tone.
He nods a little and sighs deeply. "That's the frustrating thing about people. We never know what they're going to do." He kept Jared close, playing with his hair.
He nodded faintly. "Yeah. I just…" he shook his head a little. "It's not like he was talking about me, as a person, he…" he bit his lip faintly. "He just…used me. Like…like an object or something."
He nods slowly and ran his hand through Jared's hair. "What he put you through is unfair and quite fairly disgusting. You do not deserve what he as put you through. You are not an object. You are a living, breathing human being and what he did was wrong."
He leaned into the touch, closing his eyes. "I…I know." he whispered.
He nods, his eyes soft. Jared really didn't deserve anything that the world was putting him through. He really didn't. He continues to hold Jared and okay with his hair, wanting to become a source of comfort.
He let out a quiet breath, staying still and cuddled up with Victor.
Victor kept the other close, running his hand through the others hair. "I've got you." He murmured quietly.
He nodded faintly, staying cuddled up to Victor even though he knew it was inappropriate. Victor was employed by his family, for god's sake. This wasn't appropriate. But Jared couldn't bring himself to move away.
Victor knew that this was inappropriate, but Jared needed comfort, and his job was to take care of Jared. Feelings were out of the question, but he was human. It was bad that he was getting so cozy around someone, but… Jared was just… he shook his head to get rid of the thoughts.
Jared leaned his head on Victor's shoulder, closing his eyes and letting out a faint breath, unable to bring himself to pull away.
Victor hesitated before resting his head on top of Jared's and shutting his eyes in content. "I've got you." He murmured softly.
Jared nodded faintly, still leaning into Victor quietly.
Victor nods a little, keeping his arms secure around the smaller. He wanted to say something… But he didn't dare risk it.
"Sorry for being needy." Jared mumbled. "I know this…wasn't in your job description."
He shook his head. "You're not being needy. You are a human being in need of assurance. I don't mind at all…" He gently squeezed the others shoulder and offered a gentle smile.
"Are you sure? I…I don't want to burden you." He said in a quiet tone.
He nods slowly, "I'm positive." He reassures quietly, his hand going to run through the others hair and offering a gentle smile.
He leaned into the touch faintly, letting out a little sigh.
He smiled a little at the sight. This was nice… Jared was warm, the room was quiet, sunlight fell through the cracks in the window, offering a bit of light… It was peaceful.
Jared shifted a little to cuddle closer to Victor, eyes closed.
Victor smiles a little, shutting his eyes in content. Hw ran his hand absent mindedly through the others hair, resting his head on top of the others.
Jared stayed quiet, pressed close to Victor.
Victor kept quiet as well, occasionally humming or tracing patterns onto Jared's arm.
Jared was quite content with this set-up, staying close to Victor.
After a while, Victor dozed off again. It was just so peaceful and calm, and Jared's warmth had slowly lulled him to sleep.
