tune

Nik quieted a bit, though he was still shaking, his face screwed up with pain and fear.

"It's not real, I've got you, you're safe…" he kept repeating it to the other, hoping that would help as his grip tightened protectively.

Nik was still shaking a little, though he relaxed a little more at Eclipse's touch, face relaxing a little bit. He reached out and clung to Eclipse in his sleep.

Eclipse relaxed when the other did, switching from talking to him, to singing softly, hopingto keep him calm as he slept.

Nik kept sleeping, relaxing a little more as Eclipse sang. His facial features were mostly relaxed now, but a little tension still remained.

Eclipse smiled, continuing his singing, his voice turning out to be a nice low alto.

Nik stayed snuggled against him, breathing even and relaxed now. He didn't seem to be having a nightmare anymore.

Eclipse smiled, his singing only pausing to allow himself a yawn, feeling sleepy himself.

Nik stayed snuggled close to Eclipse, relaxed and not twitching with fear anymore.

Eclipse eventually stopped singing, ostly because he had fallen asleep hlding the other to his chest.

(alright. Sure)

The next day…
Nik sat up, opening his eyes and looking around the tent quietly. He was hungry, he realized. He hadn't eaten in a while.

(Hey, I'm back, little uncomfortable since my class forced me into a sensory overload, but hey, it's fine. :P)
Eclipse was still asleep beside him, his face peaceful as he slept, unaware of the other's predicament.

(Hey. Ooh ouch, I'm sorry)

Nik shifted, and then lay back down, snuggling close to Eclipse. He didn't want to even try to get out of bed. He already knew he couldn't walk. He could tell by the dull, throbbing pain in his left leg that he wouldn't be walking for a while, if ever.

(Yeah… I'm okay now though…)
Eclipse wrapped his arms around the other again, stirring with a soft moan. as the other moved.

(Well that's good)

Nik looked at him. At Eclipse. His soulmate. I've brought so much trouble on him. He thought, running a hand through Eclipse's hair. And he's helped me.

Eclipse subconsciously nuzzled into his hand when the other ran his fingers through his hair, letting out a sigh of contentment as he started to wake up.

Nik rested his hand in Eclipse's hair, letting out a soft breath.

Eclipse eventually opened his eyes, yawning a little.

Nik looked at Eclipse, his golden eyes more dull than they had ever been before. but he was glad that Eclipse was awake and alive and alright.
