Victor nods and hums softly as he slowly cleans up from breakfast.

He ran his hands through his hair, closing his eyes.

Victor paused for a moment before setting a hand on Jared's shoulder. "I'll go get that phone set up."

He opened his eyes, looking up. "Oh. Alright. Thank you."

He nods and walks towards the library. The events of last night ran through his head, as well as this morning. It had been nice… having someone so close to him. He shook his head and set up the phone.

He swallowed faintly as he thought about how he had woken up curled in Victor's arms. It wasn't… appropriate, it really wasn't. But he couldn't bring himself to say it, to reinforce the boundaries that were supposed to exist between bodyguard and guarded.

Victor knew it was against his code to fall in love with someone that is supposed to be under his protection. He was supposed to protect Jared. Not compromise the whole mission. He inhaled softly and ran a hand through his hair. He needed to shove these feelings down.

He bit his lip anxiously, leaning his head on his hand and shaking his head a little bit.

He walked into the hall. "Jared? The phone is ready for you." He calls quietly. He needed to shove these thoughts down and just… do his job.

Jared looked up. "Oh. Thank you, Victor." He said with a faint smile, getting up to go use the phone.

He nods and smiles gently. "Sure thing." He lets Jared into the library before taking a deep breath and waking back into the living room/kitchen area.

He picked the phone up and called his mom.

Victor waited quietly as he waited, his eyes soft as he browsed his books to look like he was doing something… productive? He wasn't sure.

Jared talked with his mom for about five minutes. "Mom, I know. I know. I'm not…it's nothing, okay? It's nothing." He shook his head a little, and came back out to the living room after talking to his mom for about five minutes. "Thanks, Victor." He said softly.

Victor didn't listen in on the conversation, he knew better than that. He offered a kind smile and nods. "Of course… How are you feeling? And if I may ask… What were you dreaming about last night that upset you? You don't have to tell me of course. I just… Want to help ease it if I can."

"I…" He closed his eyes for a moment. "Just…" He shrugged faintly. "What happened, I guess."

Victor paused before smiling gently. "Okay." He murmured softly. He didn't want to push Jared past what he wanted to say.

He bit his lip for a moment. "I just… there was a lot that happened there and it wasn't…" He shook his head a little.

He gently set his hand on Jared's shoulder. "Jared…" He says quietly. "You don't have to tell me anything. All you need to know is that this is a safe place. I am here for you."

He looked up at Victor and nodded a little bit. "Okay." He said softly. "Thank you."

He nods and smiles softly. "Of course." He eases gently.

He offered up a tiny, wobbly smile in return.

Victor settles beside Jared and gazes at him. He wished quietly that he could help more, but there wasn't much he could do. He was a body guard, someone meant to protect Jared at this time… He wasn't supposed to have feelings.

He blinked up at Victor quietly, looking away after a long minute and letting out a slow, quiet breath.

"Is something on your mind?" He asks gently, noticing how the other seemed gaze at him so intently. "You seem… Tense."
