Derlik had been smirking in his success, but his face and hands froze when he saw the scars on Nik's stomach.
"Who did that..?" He finally asked. His voice had lowered, and he genuinely looked enraged.

Nik flinched, eyes flickering away. He shook his head a little. "Doesn't matter."

Derlik let go of Smoke completely on Nik's lap.
"Who. Did. It."

He flinched. "M-my ex." He whispered, gathering Smoke into his arms again.

Derlik slowly raised his hands to cup Nik's cheeks. He was being so gentle…
"Were does he live?" He asked, forcing his voice to be calm. He'd seen how Nik had reacted.

Nik flinched from Derlik's hands, shaking his head silently. Smoke mewed worriedly.

"Please, Nik," Derlik said, voice gentle now.

He shook his head again, clinging to Smoke.

Derlik narrowed his eyes a bit. He stayed silent, thought, instead turning to Nik's mind to see what he could find there.

Nik's mind was mostly just a haze of memories of a tall, blond man. Of that man grabbing at him, hurting him. Of drugs hitting his system and being unable to move as the blond took a knife and carved into his stomach.

No. No. This was wrong, this was what Derlik hated. He lightly put his hands on Nik's head, trying to lull him to sleep. He didn't want Nik to relive this.

Nik shook his head a little, trying to pull away from Derlik's hands. "Don't…don't touch me." He said, voice shaking a little bit.

Derlik let out a soft breath.
"Please let me help," he said. Still, he took his hands away.

He shook his head again, trembling faintly. He didn't see much of a difference between Derlik and his ex and his father. He really didn't.

Derlik let out a soft breath. He moved away from Nik, giving him a bit of space. He'd find the man who did this.

Honestly, the likelihood of Derlik managing to find the man was, well, slim. Not when he didn't have a name or an address or even a city.

Derlik let out a long breath, putting his head in his hands. He just wanted to deal with this, but nothing was in his favor.

Nik stayed curled up in a little ball, Smoke in his arms.

Finally, Derlik stood. He moved, standing over Nik.

Nik didn't move, not looking up at him.

Derlik looked down at Nik, then wrapped his arms around the man, picking him up.

Nik flinched, pushing at Derlik. "Put me down!" he said, squirming and struggling.

Derlik, instead, held Nik closer to himself.
"Nik," he said softly, keeping his voice calm and soft. "That's enough."

He flinched again, still trying to push Derlik away. "Put me down!" He said again, trembling.
