“ there's nothing left to say now.”

Corbin got up and stretched before he headed off to finish getting ready.

Cyrus yawned and gathered his dishes, going them up while waiting on corbin

Corbin soon returned looking a little more put together and headed out the door with Cyrus.

Cyrus kept giving corbin soft kisses and hugs the whole time, making up for not cuddling him all night

Corbin trilled softly, letting Cyrus do what he wanted. He walked into work and clocked in before sitting behind the desk.

Cyrus sat behind him as usual but noticed that the kids who'd been tormenting corbin were inside the shop. “..”

Corbin eyed them uneasily, keeping close to Cyrus. They seemed to consider coming to pester him, but decided against it upon seeing Cyrus.

Cyrus gave cold glares, getting up for a second to go get another book to keep him from snapping at a few of them.

Corbin seemed uneasy when Cyrus left, and for good reason. Once Cyrus was gone and Corbin was alone, one of the braver guys in the group came up to bother Corbin. Corbin tried to insist that they left, and threatened to call up his manager as well to kick them out, but the guy grabbed his wrist anyway.

Cyrus had just gotten to the magic books, picking out a few one elemental bending

"P-Please let go of me…" Corbin tried to tug his arm away, but the guy gripped him tighter until he grimaced. Corbin pulled harder, but his wrist was starting to hurt pretty badly, so he couldn't pull away without injuring himself.

Cyrus had just come back, looking up he saw the scene unfold. shaking from Anger, he stood and waited for the man to register what was going on, when cyrus walked up to him with a pissed trill.

When Cyrus returned, the man let go and Corbin pulled his wrist close to his chest. His eyes stung with tears and he moved behind Cyrus, trembling lightly.

Cyrus noticed he was a harpy eagle-like keigo “ shouldn't you be at patrol?” he said sharply. Cyrus had sent his location to his friend, knowing he might not able to fight if the soldier wanted to take him on. Cyrus was short compared to his speices but he wasn't going to take shit from an ugly looking fucker.

The guys scoffed and left the store after a bit of muttering amongst themselves. Corbin sighed shakily and hid his face, clinging to Cyrus with the hand that didn't hurt.

Cyrus sighed, looking down at his phone. “ keigos on his way to look into the dumbass who grabbed your wrist and to look at you, he wants to check if he hurt you bad. If that's the case then the dumbass gets to catch a criminal case.”

"O-Okay…" Corbin was still cradling his wrist close to his chest, noticing that it was already starting to bruise. "It kinda hurts… is that bad?" He asked softly.

Cyrus held Corbin's wrist carefully, “ not that bad but still pretty bruised.. “ crys jumped a bit when keigo came in. He had a ace bandage in hand and a flush on his face. “ are you okay cori?”

Corbin jumped as well, pulling his arm close to himself again. "A-Ah, um… yeah, I'm fine…" He replied softly. "It's probably a sprain at the worst…"

Keigo nodded walking up to cot in “ can I see?” he asked softly and held out his hand. He planned on wrapping Corbin's hand just to be sure,

Corbin tentatively held his hand out to Keigo. His wrist was looking somewhat swollen already, and you could see the imprints of the man's fingers in the bruises that were blooming.

Keigo frowned a bit, sighing softly. He wrapped corbins wrist and a good bit of his hand. “ there just be easy with it..” he said and pulled cot in into a hug. “ I deal with the boys and make sure they don't come pestering you, okay?”

"Okay…" Corbin sighed shakily and relaxed into the hug, closing his eyes. "They keep coming in here and bothering me… this is the first time they've actually gotten physical, though."

“ it barks before it bites, they hit near you before they hit you..” he said. Keigo was wiser then he seemed but still cared tenderly for corbin

"Yeah… I-I gotta finish my shift now, though…" He sighed softly and looked away. "What's gonna happen to them?"

“ they'll get an ear full and a slap on the wrist from the general and that's it..”

"Makes sense…" Corbin sighed softly, sitting back down in his chair. "It's so annoying…"

“ ya think.” he said with a chuckle and sat next to corbin and cyrus

"Mmm… you said there might be a criminal case if they hurt me, though."

“ yeah, cause I'ma push it.” he said “ but it will take time. “
