Arthur huffed, "I told you I'm fine…" he said, fighting a blackout. The last thing he needed were more nightmares.

“You’re not fine, you need rest,” Kyle quickly grabbed a random piece of paper and a pen, scribbling down his number, “That’s my number if you need me. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Arthur sighed, watching him go as his vision blurred. I hate this…. I hate it…. Why did it have to be me?? Why did I have to find the Sabre… he thought, knowing he wouldn't be blacking out right niw if he hadn't been forced to survive rhe forces if Dark magic the way he did.

Le time skip.

That evening and next morning was one of the worst Kyle had experience since he turned ten. He’s come home to furious parents and left with furious parents. In turn, he earned himself a black eye and a bruise on his cheek. He’d picked husbands biggest jumper and pulled the hood over his head so hopefully no one saw but new Arthur would ask about them. One of the reasons why I don’t do people…

Arthur sighed, passing out yesterday had been horrible. Nightmares and memories had plagued him, and he'd gotten no sleep that night either. He lay on his couch under a big blanket wearing the biggest hoodie he had as comfort.

Kyle trudged up to Arthur’s apartment, biting his lip on the part to bay was cut. Oh, yeah, he had a busted lip to add to the the wound collection. He knocked softly on the door, hoping the other was awake.

Arthur perked up when he heard a knock rolling out of his blanket cocoon he went for the door. Opening it he saw Kyle, but his smile faded when he saw the black eye and busted lip. "What happened to you….." he asked softly.

Kyle sighed and looked to the floor in embarrassment, shuffling his feet nervously, “Dad got mad,” He shrugged, “It’s not that bad.”

Arthur shut the door quietly once Kyle was inside, "Not ok… you getting beat up is not ok…. I knew we should've called, and gone to school…" Arthur mentally kicked himself. "I'm sorry Kyle…"

Kyle shook his head, lowering his hood with a soft sigh, “No, don’t be sorry. It was my idea to skip.” He slipped his shoes off and sat on the edge of the couch.

Arthur flopped tiredly, "I still could've made us go…." he said quietly, yawning a little due to having not slept the night before.

“Stop, Arthur… please,” Kyle released a shaky breath, “It’s not your fault…”

"Sorry…" he said quietly once more, watching Kyle from his curled up position.

Kyle put his head in his hands, trying to return his breathing to normal. Arthur couldn’t see how weak he actually was. Mentally, anyway, “How are you feeling?” He asked after a moment.

"To be really honest?" Said Arthur. "Horrible. Just horrible." He pulled one of the soft blankets back over himself, all but hiding his face.

Kyle sigh and nodded a little, “Same…” He muttered, “Do you want some time alone?”

"Alone is the last thing I need…." said Arthur quietly, knowing that bad memories could flood his mind that much more easily if he were alone.

Kyle stayed silent for a moment before he crawled on top of Arthur, “What do you want to do to take your mind off of it?” He asked softly, lowering the blanket.

Arthur blinks and looks up at him. "Not sure… what would you like to do about it?" He said softly, twisting so he was flat on his back.

Kyle shrugged, a small smile tugging on his lips, “I could think of a few things… not necessarily PG-13 though…”

Arthur blushed a little, "and?" He asked,

“Depends how much you want to take your mind off of everything. If not my previous idea, we can go to the movies.” Kyle again shrugged.

"I really like the first idea, and taking my mind off of things?" He studied Kyle for a moment, "That'd be helpful."

Kyle smirked a little, “Wish granted.” He muttered, pressing his lips against Arthur’s.

Arthur melted under him, pressing back gently.
