“ there's nothing left to say now.”

"Y-Yeah… that much I can relate to, but… I'm here. I'm okay because you protected me, right?" Corbin smiled weakly up at Cyrus. "You found a safe hiding place for me, and I'm okay."

Cyrus couldn't get his tears to stop, but he nodded and went back to nuzzling into Corbin's neck

"You protected me, Cy… you did a good job. You… y-you put yourself in danger to keep others safe… you can't blame yourself for everything that goes wrong."

Cyrus took a deep breath " I know.." he said softly

Corbin was crying softly as well, but he wanted to try and help Cyrus. "I love you… okay? Thanks for protecting me…"

" I love you too, and your welcome.."he said softly

Corbin sighed shakily and held tighter to Cyrus. "I just… don't want you to get hurt… you'll be careful, won't you?"

" always." He said softly

Corbin nodded a bit, drawing up his wings. "I'm scared… I don't want to lose you…"

" then we are the same.." he said and wrapped his wings around corbin

"Yeah…" Corbin laughed weakly, relaxing a bit in Cyrus' embrace. "I hate when you have to do that sort of thing…"

Cyrus sighed and gave a soft trill " I'm so tired.."

"You should get some rest, Cy… I can finish making breakfast if you want."

" no. It's fine, " he held tighter to Corbin. " Just don't leave me"

Corbin sighed softly. "Alright, we can both go back to my room then. You really need to rest."

Cyrus nodded and let his arms and wings fall " alright"

Corbin took Cyrus' hand and led him back to his bedroom to lay down.

Asra looked up at Cyrus " you okay?" He asked softly

Corbin lay down on the bed, making sure to leave room for Cyrus.

Cyrus nodded and laid down with corbin

Corbin shifted to get more comfortable, curling up into a ball.

Cyrus curled around him and said his goodbye to asra as he went to work

Corbin seemed more relaxed when he and Cyrus were alone. He huddled closer and closed his eyes.

Cyrus held tightly to Corbin. He whined softly when he bent his wing the wrong way

"Careful, Cy… don't hurt yourself." Corbin murmured softly. "We don't have to do anything today…"

" that's Good.." he said softly and nuzzled into corbin

"We can watch TV if you want." Corbin offered.

" okay.. you choose though"

"Alright." Corbin sat up a bit and turned on the TV.

Cyrus sat up as well, checking his wing
