“ there's nothing left to say now.”

Corbin buried his face in Cyrus' shoulder, sobbing weakly. "I-I was so scared…" He whispered. "I thought— I thought y-you'd been shot, Cy… are you sure you're okay?"

" I'm fine cori. I made it back to you, just like I promised" he spoke softly

Corbin nodded weakly, clinging a bit tighter to Cyrus. "P-Please don't leave me… I need you…" He whispered.

" I'm not leaving you cori. " He said and sat down, putting Corbin's legs around his waist. He held tighter to Corbin and rubbed his back" I've got you.."

Corbin kept his face hidden as he held tightly to Cyrus, choking on his sobs. "W-What happened— out there…?" He asked, trembling in Cyrus' arms.

" a protest started against a few braver crows and dump people. The started a riot and our soldier splitting it up got hut. We were called to fill in for a riot shield guard. Most of them stopped when the saw my team, need mind you it's elites, buy one didn't and pulled a gun, the minute he aimed it at me keigo took aim and shot him. The general justified it as him or me… Keigo chose you and me."

Corbin exhaled shakily and gripped Cyrus tighter as he listened, shaking more violently. "S-So… if Keigo didn't… d-didn't shoot that guy… you might be dead…?" He asked weakly, looking up so Cyrus with tears in his eyes.

Cyrus's eyes pricked with tears. " Yeah.. yah I would be. There would have been no might." He said shakily. Cyrus wiped Corbin's eyes and kissed right underneath them " please don't worry, I came back fine cori.."

Corbin hiccuped weakly, fresh tears rolling down his cheeks when Cyrus brushed the other ones away. "B-But you… but you could have n-not come back at all… and that scares me…" He whispered.

" it scares me too, but look from my eyes. I could lose you too. Someone could come in here and I could be hurt.. I wouldn't be able o do anything.."

"Y-Yeah…" Corbin buried his face in Cyrus' shoulder again, sniffling and hiccuping weakly. "C-Can we… can we go home…? I-I don't wanna be here anymore…"

" neither do I.." he said softly and stood. Cyrus was met with a very upset snow owl and harpy eagle " god dang it Cyrus why can't you pay attention!" Asra scolded as he hugged the bluejay and crow " cori I'm so glad your alright."

Corbin was still sobbing weakly, unable to offer any words himself. He clung tighter to Cyrus, keeping his wings fluffed up and raised to hide himself.

" cori, I know it's a bit to ask but can I hold you?" Asra asked. He held his arms out sightly

Corbin glanced up, considering for a few seconds. He looked up at Cyrus, unsure, but then looked back to Asra and hesitantly nodded.

Asra held Corbin gently" it's alright, I won't drop you.." he said softly

Corbin buried his face in Asra's shoulder, sobbing weakly. He drew his wings up again, trembling in Asra's arms.

Asra held Corbin. Rubbing the crows back softly and wrapping his warmer wings around him. " How bout we all head home. He needs to rest.." asra suggested

Corbin hiccuped weakly, his grip strength waning. He slowly started relaxing in Asra's arms, but he seemed completely exhausted from stress.

Asra sighed, he knew Corbin was strained to the point of exhaustion. " Cori, please don't push yourself. I don't want you to get hurt.." he said with a soft whine. He wrapped his warm fluffy wings around Corbin like a soft blanket.

"M'not trying to…" Corbin replied weakly, his voice a bit cracked from crying. His head was hurting now as well, and he just really didn't want to be here anymore. He wanted to sleep and forget all of this had happened.

Asra nodded and walked out, heading to Corbin's house

Corbin kept silent as he was carried, just clinging to Asra tiredly.

Cuts and keigo followed hastily " god asra, hold him any tighter and you might break a rib. " Keigo said with a soft laugh

"Mmnh… please don't break my ribs…" Corbin mumbled softly, still seeming pretty out of it. He tried his best to keep his wings up, but the tips were starting to drag on the ground.

Asra chuckled " I won't break you cori.." he said softly and kisses the side of his head. " I doubt youll remember this.." he mumbled to himself more then anyone else

Corbin relaxed a bit with his eyes closed, slowly starting to actually calm down in Asra's arms. He was pretty much limp by the time they reached his apartment.

Asra went inside when Cyrus unlocked the door. He went to go lay asra down and then continue to look at Cyrus's wing.

Corbin curled up when he was laid down and sighed shakily, burying himself in his pillows and blankets.

"do you want me to stay?" Asra asked softly as he went to o check up on corbin
