Elliot let out a soft growl. He pushed forward, completely ready to stab Rafael. Of course, he was interrupted by the front door being thrown open. There, looking completely and totally enraged, was Arien.

Upon seeing the other, Rafael instantly felt a smile appear on his face and he let out a small sigh of relief. “Arien!”

Arien made his way in quickly, wrapping his arm securely around Rafael. He was glaring at Elliot.
"Fuck. Off." Elliot scowled.
"Fine, then." Elliot lifted one hand.
"Rafael, cover your-!" Too late. With a Elliot disappeared, a bright, blinding light following after. It was like staring into the sun- it couldn't have any good affects on the human in Arien's arms.

Rafael let out what could only be described as a scream of pain as he dropped to the floor, clawing at his eyes.

"Rafael!" Arien got on his knees, taking Rafael's head in his hands. He forced Rafael to stop clawing at his eyes, looking to examine them.

Rafael shuddered, clinging tightly to Arien. It had felt like someone had put his eyes in boiling hot water, which was more than enough to make anyone scream. His eyes had gone a milky white. “A-Arien I can’t see. I-I can’t see!” He repeated, sounding like he was on the verge of a panic attack.

Arien pulled Rafael close, his arms wrapped securely around the human.
"I know, I know," Arien said softly. He forced himself to be calm, needing to do the same for Rafael.
"You'll be okay, Rafael, it'll go away, it'll all be better in a few days…" Would it, though? Would Rafael be able to recover from this? Arien didn't voice his doubts.

He began to cry into Arien’s chest, taking in unsteady breaths in between sobs. He didn’t really believe it when Arien said he’d recover. And if he didn’t recover? Well, any chances of him having a career in music were completely destroyed.

Arien ran his fingers through Rafael's hair.
"I've got you, I've got you…" Arien rocked Rafael a bit, holding him so close. This was horrible. Arien would kill Elliot over this…

After a few more minutes, his sobs had subsided. Only because he’d passed out. His wounds, combined with exhaustion and having completely gone into shock, were just too much for him to bear.

Arien looked down at Rafael. He picked up the man, holding him close. He left without a word, Rafael held close to his chest. He brought them back to his own home. He wasn't going to bother feeding tonight- he could co without blood. He cleaned Rafael up, dressing his wounds gently. When he was done, he picked Rafael up again, going to lay down with the man in Rafael's room. He wasn't going to let Rafael wake up alone, blind.

Rafael managed to stay asleep the entire night, but it didn’t look at all like he slept peacefully, almost constantly tossing and turning. He eventually actually woke up around 10 in the morning. Having hoped that the entire experience had just been a bad dream, he was disappointed when he still couldn’t see.

Arien kept a close eye on Rafael throughout the night, still concerned.
"How are you doing?" He asked softly. He held Rafael closer, knowing it must be difficult for Rafael at the moment.

He shrugged, not wanting to talk about it right now. But all of his frustration and sadness was clearly visible on his face.

Arien held Rafael close, letting out a soft breath.
"I'm so sorry," Arien said softly. "I… I don't know how this happened."

“It’s not your fault.” He said softly before falling silent again. He was acting more distant than normal.

Arien fell silent as well. He pulled himself closer to Rafael, resting his head on the human.
"Yes it is," he murmured.

Rafael didn’t say anything else, and pulled slightly away from Arien.

Arien faltered at this. He pulled back, beginning to pull his arms from Rafael.
"I… I'm sorry," he said softly.

“It’s fine..” he whispered, but wasn’t entirely sure himself if he meant it. He just wanted to sleep and sleep and not consciously exist until everything was better.

Arien pulled his hands away entirely, shifting to leave the bed. He just wanted to help Rafael feel better…

“Don’t go.” He whispered quickly, surprising himself. He turned his head in the general area of where he thought Arien was. “Please..”

Arien stopped. He sat back down, laying next to Rafael.
"I won't," Arien assured softly.

Rafael moved closer to him, burying his face in Arien’s chest and wanting more than anything to go back to sleep.

Arien wrapped his arms around Rafael, gently rubbing his back.
"I'm here…" He rested his head on Rafael's, humming softly.
