Nik shivered faintly as the thought slid into his mind, curling tighter into himself.

Derlik smirked just faintly. Let's see where Nik took this thought… and if he didn't do anything with it at all, Derlik would keep putting different things there until he did, or until he figured out where they were actually coming from.
Nik was silent, still just curled into a little ball. He wanted to leave but he had nowhere to go.
Derlik let out a soft breath, that smirk still there. That's right, he didn't have anywhere to go. Derlik would always be able to find him, anyway. Why not just give in?
He curled tighter, trying not to cry. This was just like with his father, just like with his ex. Helpless and alone.
Derlik watched quietly. So, father and ex, huh..?
There's no escape this time… Another seed, another train of thought.
And then he was crying, curled up into a tight little ball, silent tears running down his cheeks. Memories of too many hands, of a knife stabbing into his skin and no one ever taking a no when he said it.
This… this was interesting. Derlik sat up, setting Smoke to the side. He'd gone too far. He reached up silently, touching Nik's forehead.
"Calm…"
Nik flinched at the touch, trying to pull away. "Leave me alone." he said, voice cracking a little towards the end. "Don't touch me."
Derlik put his full palm against Nik's head. He didn't say a word. Nik was too distressed for him to calm down.
Nik was blinking back tears, small droplets clinging to his lashes. "Leave me alone." he said again.
Derlik pulled his hand away after a moment.
"I will," he said softly.
Nik hid his face again. He was a little bit calmer than he had been, but not a lot.
Derlik looked away. He picked Smoke out, gently pushing him towards Nik lightly.
Nik picked Smoke up, cradling the kitten close.
Derlik watched a moment, sitting cross-legged on the boulder. The living, conscious boulder.
Smoke mewed faintly, curling into Nik's arms.

Derlik laid back. He was bored, completely bored, but he'd give Nik some space.
Nik clung to the kitten, trembling faintly.
Derlik crossed his legs as he laid there, just… Waiting. Waiting until Nik was can enough for him to fuck with again.
Nik hated this. Hated that he was trapped here with Derlik, unable to do anything.
Derlik shook his foot a bit, running his fingers through his hair. He didn't care if Nik was hurting right now- Derlik had chosen to do this.
Nik stayed silent, curled up with Smoke in his arms.
Derlik glanced over. Wimp. He sighed, sitting up.
