“Yeah.” Rafael said, pulling them out of his pocket. “You mind unlocking it for me? As much as I’d love to stand here for five minutes and struggle with it, we probably have better things to do.”

Arien took the keys from Rafael, moving to unlock the door.
"Mhm, we got snuggles to get back to," The vampire said with a small smile. It dropped completely when he saw the state the apartment was in.

“Mhm!” He agreed, chuckling softly. But the noise died quickly in his throat as he felt Arien’s mood drop. He took his hand again, squeezing it softly. “You’d be surprised at how hard all the easy stuff is to do by yourself.” Especially when he barely had the energy or motivation to get out of bed in the mornings.

Arien squeezed Rafael's hand tightly, moving to hug the man a moment.
"Let's… let's get this done quickly," he said after a moment, knowing he had done just as horribly.

“Yeah…” he replied, holding onto Arien a moment longer before pulling away, fully entering the apartment and closing the door behind them.

Arien stayed close to Rafael's side, shifting some as he looked around.
"You know where your medicine is..?"

“It’s in the kitchen by the sink.” He said, glad that he had Arien there to help him. He wouldn’t be able to do all this by himself.

Arien nodded and kissed Rafael's cheek lightly, heading over to grab the medicine first. He did his best to ignore everything else, not wanting to break down.

Rafael carefully maneuvered himself to somewhere he could sit down at, waiting on Arien.

Arien snatched up the medicine as soon as he found it, quickly making his way back to Rafael's side.

“I just need a few more things and then we can go.” He said, taking the bottle from Arien.

"Okay then…" Arien kept the waiver from his voice, hugging Rafael again quickly before pulling away.

“Can you help me find my violin? That’s the only other thing I really need.” He said, standing up. He’d kept it in the bedroom where he was sure he wouldn’t accidentally destroy it in his despair. He’d never forgive himself if he did destroy it.

"Of course." Arien took Rafael's hand, helping him to the bedroom to find it.
"Where did you put it?"

“Mmm I’m not entirely sure.” He said, frowning. “All I know is it’s somewhere in the room.”

"Okay then…" Arien let go of Rafael's hand a moment, moving to look through the bedroom carefully.

“It hopefully shouldn’t be too hard to find.” He called after Arien, staying where he was so he wouldn’t get in Arien’s way.

"Okay then…" Damnit, the more Arien looked around the worse it got. He'd left no reminds like this in his own house, everything untouched. Here, you could see the struggles Rafael went through in their time alone…

Rafael fidgeted with his hands. He felt so…embarrassed? Or ashamed. He wasn’t sure but he just wanted to get out of here as fast as possible.

Arien moved quickly, finally coming out of the bedroom with the violin in hand.
"I've got it," he said softly.

“Oh thank god.” He said, gently taking it from Arien’s hands. He’d begun to worry something had happened to it.

Arien smiled softly, hugging Rafael from the side.
"Can… can we leave now..?"

“Yeah let’s go.” He said, taking hold of Arien’s hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Thanks for coming with me.” He said.

"You're welcome." Sure to keep close, Arien was trying his best to not break down as they started out of the apartment.

Soon enough they were back outside again, Rafael locking the door behind them.
