Dan nodded and continued hugging him and was silent. He was clearly in a but shock from what had just happened and it would take a little while to process.

Arien slowly ran his hand over Dan's head, rubbing him softly to help him calm down.
"I'm gonna take you home, okay?" he asked gently.

"Ok." Dan whispered and nodded. There were tears rolling down his face, he hadn't even realized he was crying.

Arien, when he saw Dan's tears, gently lifted his hand up and brushed them off with his thumb.
"You're gonna be okay," he said quietly, picking Dan up easily. He had one arm under Dan to hold him, the other hand around his back to steady him.
"Can you tell me where you live, or is it okay if I take you to my home?" he asked softly, rubbing Dan's back lightly.

Dan nodded then looked at him as he quietly gave Arien his address.

"Okay then," Arien said in hushed tones. He stepped over the dead man's body, jumping up lightly to the rooftop. He wasn't risking running into anyone else. The trip to Dan's house was quick, the ride for Dan smooth. Arien set down lightly, carrying Dan up to his apartment.
"We're here," Arien said softly. He set Dan down gently. "Do you need me to stay here for a bit?" he asked quietly.

"I'll be fine." He said a bit shakily then took out his keys and opened his door before stepping inside.

"Are you sure?" Arien asked. He didn't follow Dan in, though. He couldn't without permission. "I just want to make sure you're alright."

"Um, alright." Dan nodded and looked back at him.

"Uh… does that mean I can come in?" Arien asked, standing next to the threshold.

"Yeah." Dan nodded then went to his room and burried himself under the covers in bed. He didn't even change into his pajamas, he only put his phone and wallet down.

Arien stepped lightly into the apartment, closing the door behind him. He watched Dan settle in from the hall, worried for him.

Dan started crying softly into his pillow after he was covered by blankets. He was just so scared. He knew it was over and he was safe now… But the guy had a gun to him, he could have died.

Arien hesitated a moment, then stepped into Dan's room. He walked over to the bed, kneeling down next to it and lightly putting his hand on Dan's head.

Dan flinched for a second then relaxed.

Arien pulled his hand away a little when Dan flinched, but set it down again.
"You were so brave," he said softly.

"not really…" He mumbled, "I'm just going to go to sleep."

"Okay," Arien said. "I'll stay until you do."

Dan nodded and closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep after awhile.

Arien, when he saw Dan was asleep, tucked Dan in a little more, then left.
(Timeskip?)

Dan woke up in the morning and sighed gladly remembering it was his day off. So he stayed in bed not wanting to leave it's warmth.

Arien was walking back from visiting his friend, passing by Dan's apartment. He glanced up, then looked back and forth before turning into a bat and flying up to Dan's window to check on him. He was still worried about Dan, having seen how shaken up he had been.

Dan was still in bed it was clear. He was laying there and it wasn't clear if he was awake or not though.

Arien watched Dan for a moment, perched on the windowsill, before slipping through the glass. He was still a bat, and he flew over to land on the table beside Dan's bed.

Dan looked up when he heard something come in and stared at the bat confused. His eyes were still a bit red and puffy from crying.
