Silver blinked at the suddde outburst, looking away.

Aurelius rubbed his face nervously and looked down at his feet.
“S-sorry…” he managed, his voice sounding very brittle.
Silver hummed, "It's alright… I clearly hit a nerve…"
Aurelius nodded, biting his lip. He was shaking a little. He hadn’t meant to come off so aggressively.
"Aurelius?" he asked, "You alright?"
He frowned. “I mean… yeah? I guess? I have problems that I’ve hinted at. Nothing new.”
Silver hummed quietly, still a bit unnerved.
Aurelius crosses his arms, his posture becoming very tense.
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry…”
"Hey, you didn't do anything wrong…" he said softly.
Aurelius looked back at Silver.
“You sure? I didn’t mean to snap like that.”
"Seriously it's fine." he said softly.
Aurelius blinked slowly.
“Okay, I believe you,” he said gently, “Just don’t hesitate to tell me if I do say anything that hurts.”
Silver nodded, "Can do" he said.
“I appreciate the patience,” Aurelius said.
He slowly reached out a hand to touch Silver’s shoulder.
Silver glanced over at him quizzically when he felt the hand on his shoulder.
“I might need you more than I thought,” Aurelius murmured.
He gritted his teeth just slightly.
Way to go. Making yourself sound needy. You’re already quite the load to bear.
Silver hummed curiously, not entirely certain where he was going with this, but not against it if it was where he thought it was going.
Aurelius blushed a little. He couldn’t quite bring himself to continue at first, but he broke through.
“You do make me feel better somewhat, you know,” Aurelius said, “I don’t think I could ask for anyone better to be with.”
Silver smiled brightly at that. "Same goes for you…"
“I have a hard time believing you don’t just see me as a burden,” Aurelius admitted, “but you know, that could easily just be my intense self-doubt talking.”
"Has to be your self doubt, cause I would never think that of you." he said firmly.Heck…. I think I've got a crush on you…
The corners of Aurelius’ mouth went into the smallest smile. His eyes fluttered closed.
“You sound pretty convincing there. It’s always good to hear that kind of affirmation.”
He opened his blue eyes again and focused steadily on Silver.
“I’m glad you like me enough to keep coming back to me, even without any obligation. I enjoy having you at my side.”
Silver smiled happily, "And I like your change in attitude" he said, "Minus the self doubt"
“As much as I’ve tried, I’m not so sure I can help that,” Aurelius sighed. “The most I can do is surround myself with good, kind people.”
"As long as you keep trying you'll be alright.
