“LET GO!”

Michael had once again gained access to the knives, and rather than the usual disarming by Pione, Michael found himself effectively trapped in a hug.

Pione didn’t respond, ignoring the threats spilling out of Michael’s mouth as he kept his arms pinned at his sides. The young man tried to worm his way out, but when that didn’t work he resorted back to scare tactics.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll gut you like a fish and hang your intensities outside of your bedroom. I’ll gouge your eyes out and push you out of a skyscraper window. I’ll-“

Michael suddenly found his face pressed into Pione’s chest, cutting off the rest of the creative threats bubbling in his brain. Despite how restrictive the hold was, Pione’s actions didn’t seem aggressive. He was stern, but gentle.

“My grandpa used to do this for me when I was scared. I don’t know why, but it always made me feel better, being so close to him.”

Michael knew what he was talking about. Though he had only gotten this treatment once, he never forgot how secure he had felt, despite the craziness of everything around him. Back when he had seen Silas as a friend.

As the two sat in silence, the muffled curses coming from Michael’s mouth eventually died down, and Pione felt the slight tremors running through his body as he broke down. He didn’t say anything.
