Sousha swallowed slowly before shaking his head a small bit. "I-I can't." He curled his toes in his shoes, sitting up a little. "You don't have to carry me, I can walk, though, probably," He insisted, contradicting the truth.

Eclipse raised an eyebrow, moving so that he was on his feet, though still crouched and supporting Sousha. "You sure about that?" He asked, wanting a straight answer this time. Brushing back a lock of sliver hair and pulling up his hood he looked around one more, before returning his attention to Sousha.
Sousha let himself be supported as he slowly stood with Eclipse as the other was looking around. "I dunno," He mumbled shyly, blushing a little as he was cupped in the bigger person's arm. It felt nice, but he couldn't let that distract him too much. He'd let it distract him from the pain in his neck, though.
Eclipse hummed, and looked the smaller male over more closely. Supporting most of his weight wasn't too hard, though he absentmindedly wondered what Sousha would think if he found out that Eclipse was a werewolf. "You're not hurt too badly are you?" He asked, genuinely worried for him.
Sousha was a rather thin individual, but he was worried that he might be bogging down the other just a little. He started to walk slowly with the other, his legs shaking wildly but he refused to be deadweight against Eclipse.
"I'm okay. I'll be okay," He just murmured back with a nod.
Eclipse watched him for a few steps, before scooping him up. "Clearly not completely fine." He said softly, not meaning to be rude or anything as he started off. Eclipse himself wasn't exactly burly, more thin himself, but also strong. Slowly he turned down an alley, headed home.
Sousha gasped softly as he was scooped up, clinging to the collar of Eclipse's collar, his face reddening with a soft, shaky noise. He quickly relaxed against the other as his body protested the tenseness of his aching, damaged muscles.
Eclipse chuckled at the other's soft gasp, cradling him close to his chest as he walked. His pace was brisk as he headed down a few more streets, and as they got close to his home, they began to see dark haired men in the streets. All shadowed in alleyways, none bothering them.
Sousha looked around warily, careful to keep his head on Eclipse's chest and steady as his gaze flicked around this way and that. He curled his toes again and occasionally caught glances of the other's broad face beneath his hood.
"Are we almost there?" He finally asked as he spotted the shadowed men.
"Yep" he said softly, the scars on the left side of his jaw, what seemed to be claw marks, standing out against his pale skin as he walked, occasionally nodding or signalling a guy that stepped forth to question him.
Sousha watched the interrogations, pushing himself closer to Eclipse's chest at each appearance of a new face. He just wanted to get somewhere enclosed and where he could bandage up his neck. It was starting to ache really bad.
Eclipse noticed the other hiding, and picked up his pace, suddenly feeling very protective. "It's alright…" he murmured lowly, keeping up the pace as they slipped inside an apartment building. "Are you in pain?" He asked after several beats more,
Sousha shut his eyes as he moved with Eclipse's pace, finally nodding a little. "Yeah. My neck is really sore," He croaked, glancing up into the dark apartment and hiding his face again. Why did he even decide to go to New York? Now he didn't even know where he was, but at least he was protected.
Eclipse nodded, "I have a first aid kit in my apartment," he said softly, heading directly to the elevator, shifting the other in his arms to select the correct floor. The elevator rose swiftly, and Eclipse was glad for that, wanting to help the other.
Sousha nodded again and now that he was inside, let Eclipse move him however he needed, making sure just to keep his body relaxed against the other. As the elevator jerked to a stop, Sousha clung to the other again.
Eclipse held him gently, but firmly as he walked down the hall, opening the door easily then shutting it, locking it behind them. Setting the other down on the couch he headed for the bathroom, pulling out the first aid kit then heading back. "Alright, let's get you patched up."
Sousha sat up slowly so his neck was parallel with the rest of his body, watching Eclipse approach him. "I think it's just my neck," He mumbled to the other, pointing to the dark purple bruises on his neck. "I might just go to a hospital or something."
Eclipse hummed softly when he saw the bruises, "I would suggest that, though going now isn't exactly safe." He said softly, moving to pull bandages out, "Do you mind?" He looked up at the other.
Sousha nodded slowly and watched Eclipse curiously, his eyebrows raised as he watched. "Mind- mind?" He asked, then it hit him. They wanted to touch his neck. "Um… sure, go ahead." He sat up straight so he could align his neck with his shoulders again.
Eclipse nodded slightly, moving in then beginning to bandage it. Doing so he tied it off and tucked the end in, nodding as he put the bandages down. "Anywhere else?" He asked.
Sousha shivered at the feeling of the bandages, slowly dropping his chin against his stiff neck and shaking his head. "No, it was just that. And a few other bumps, but those are okay."
Eclipse nodded, moving to put the kit away. Coming back he looked the other over once more, humming softly. He's still cute… he thought.
Sousha messed with the end of his shirt, his head dipped just a small bit and his cheeks a faint red. Eclipse's fingers had felt really nice on his neck. He pushed the thoughts from his head and glanced up, catching Eclipse's gaze accidentally.
(Won't be on at night like this again for awhile… almost got caught.)
Eclipse turned away, "I'll see if I can grab dome blankets for you." He said softly, heading back down the hall.
(Oof be careful m8)
Sousha nodded and hugged himself to try and get warm, shivering just a small bit. His neck felt really stiff with the bandages but somewhat better.
(I will)
Eclipse went to his room and pulled some blankets and a pillow out of the chest where they were kept. Then he headed out to the living room. Carefully he wrapped one of the blankets around the other. "Get some rest, we'll get you to your hotel tomorrow" he said softly, leaving the others beside him.
Sousha watched Eclipse, sitting forward so he could be wrapped up like a little burrito. He laid down slowly so he was facing the window in the apartment, gazing up at the perfect view of the moon above the buildings. He loved the moon. He smiled a little at Eclipse.
"Thank you."
Eclipse nodded, "Of course" he said, watching him for a moment longer before heading to the door. "I have some other things to take care of, but I'll be back later.." he said, before slipping out and taking a deep breath. As if things weren't confusing enough…. he thought to himself..
Sousha nodded and curled up with a second blanket, looking back up at the moon. He was tired after everything that had happened, but he didn't want to sleep without anyone looking after him. He was too afraid to even blink without the other there.
Eclipse sighed, heading off down the hall to deal with the responsibilities he'd been putting off. He would've stayed with the other, but he had to take care of a few things. Stepping out into the lobby down stairs he started looking for his second in command, who knew what he needed to get done.
