Amyntas sighs. He was stiff…very stiff. Even as he relaxes slightly, Ella could feel his stiff back and shoulders.

Ariella stroked his belly, nuzzling into him.

Amyntas seems to tense more. He gently moves her hand from his stomach.

Ariella simply placed her hand on his chest as he moved it then.

Amyntas sighs, then closes his eyes. He felt mentally, and physically exhausted at this point. He slowly starts dozing off into a light sleep.

Ariella just gently stroked his chest with her thumb, relaxing against him.

After a while, Amyntas jumps awake, yelping. “GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!”

Ariella jumped away from his body, scared. She had been half asleep when he had shouted.

Amyntas looks around, whimpering. Fear clouded his eyes, along with tears. Amyntas whines and curls in on himself, sobbing.

"Amyntas? It's me, Ariella. What happened?"

He keeps sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. “Leave me alone…” He whines.

"Please, talk to me." She was on her knees in front of him, not touching him no matter how much she wanted to hug him.

“No…leave me alone…”

"Amyntas please." She was leading with him. She didn't want to leave him alone like this.

Amyntas whimpers. “No…go away…”

"I'm not leaving you like this." Ariella said.

Amyntas shudders, sobbing harder.

"Please talk to me. Tell me what's going on Amyntas. Let me help you."

Amyntas whimpers, “NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!”

Ariella flinched back. She moved across the bed to give him some room. She didntbwant to leave him alone.

Amyntas keeps sobbing, curling in on himself.

Ariella stayed on the bed, waiting for it to pass, waiting him to allow her to comfort him.

After a while, Amyntas goes quiet. Too quiet. He lays there, feeling empty.

Ariella crawled in front of him as the man finally quieted. "Amyntas? Will you let me hold you?"

Amyntas hides his face in his pillow, staying silent.
