"Mm…" Nix purred weakly at the petting, trying not to let his tears fall. "Where is he right now? Is he doing okay?" He asked.
"Mm…" Nix purred weakly at the petting, trying not to let his tears fall. "Where is he right now? Is he doing okay?" He asked.
Serna closed her eyes a moment.
"He's with Cas. He still seems to be asleep…" She kept rubbing Nix's back, holding him close.
"Okay… he needs to get his sleep. He's had a hard time with this too…" Nix sighed. "I just… I wish I could go back in time and fix all of this…"
Serna nodded.
"I do too. But… There are some things even gods can't do." She sighed softly in turn, rubbing Nix's head lightly.
"Mm… I'm sorry if we're putting any extra stress on you, ma'am… I'm sure you weren't expecting to suddenly have three new emotionally unstable people in your house."
"It's alright, Nix. I… There are so many who get hurt. I'm just glad I'm able to help you three." She gave a sad smile, looking away a moment.
Nix nodded a bit and buried his face in Serna's chest, sighing shakily. "Thank you, ma'am… I… I'll try my best to not be a nuisance, but I think I've already kinda been one…"
"You haven't been at all. And you won't be, either. Please don't worry about it sugar." Serna ran her fingers through Nix's hair, letting him rest against her.
"If you say so…" Nix sighed again, huddling closer to Serna. "Um… you were saying something when you came in, right?"
"Ah, I was saying breakfast is ready. Do you think you could eat?" Serna looked down at Nix, patting his head lightly.
"I dunno… I'm not really hungry. I haven't had much of an appetite since yesterday. I wanna make sure Cas eats, though. He's already so thin…"
Serna nodded a bit. It was understandable.
"Do you want to go wake him up for breakfast, then?"
Nix nodded, holding a bit tighter to Serna. He clearly wanted to be carried. "He can't afford to lose more weight."
Serna slid off the bed, holding Nix in one arm. She left her room, heading to Cas's. She knocked gently.
Cas stirred a bit and yawned, but didn't quite wake up. He huddled closer to Zachary with a soft sigh. "He's a pretty deep sleeper…"
Serna nodded, sorely opening the door. She stepped in, going over to gently wake Cas up. Zachary stirred, holding Cas close without yelling his eyes.
Cas whined softly in protest at being woken up, opening his eyes and looking up at Serna sleepily. "Morning, sunshine…" Nix murmured.
"Breakfast is ready," Serna said softly. Zachary opened his eyes slowly, the first thing he did kissing Cas's cheek gently. That was to priority- Cas knowing he was loved.
Cas smiled sleepily and returned the kiss, huddling close. "Mm~… we'll be there in a minute…" He murmured softly. Nix nodded a bit and sighed.
Serna nodded, leaving the room. She moved to the kitchen, setting the pancakes out for everyone. Zachary hummed a bit, nuzzling Cas. He smiled softly.
"Love," he said gently.
"I love you too~" Cas kissed Zachary sweetly and returned the nuzzles. "Wanna go get some breakfast?" He asked.
Zachary nodded. He sat up, an arm pulling Cas up with him. He managed to get his legs over the edge, but he couldn't get himself to the wheelchair, seeing as it was still in the living room.
Cas supported Zachary as well as he could, clearly struggling a bit under his weight, but trying nonetheless. "I-I got you, love…"
Zachary shook his head quickly. No, he didn't want Cas doing this. He motioned with one hand at the living room, already trying to sit back down. It would be be better to get the wheelchair.
"Oh! Right, sorry… you're so smart, love." Cas carefully sat Zachary back down and ran to fetch the wheelchair. He soon returned with it, still pretty disheveled from trying to carry Zachary.
