A feeling of someone grabbing me awakes me, I'm not sure if it is morning, day or night but I am pretty sure it is Cairo.
Opening my eyes to complete darkness, hands grabbing at my arm, loud distressing noises beside me, managing to reach over to the bed side table to switch the lamp on, being still pretty sleepy and completely confused, I immediately see what is going on.
Cairo is holding onto my bare arm with both hands, holding onto me so tightly that my arm has gone white and it is beginning to hurt, his face is buried in his pillow, completely hidden from me, I can't even be sure if he is awake or not, let alone decipher what is going on with him.
"Amourex...what is it?"
He doesn't respond but seems to try to bury himself more into his pillow, not being able to pull my arm out of his vice grip, I gently place my other hand against the side of his face that is visible, stroking his hair off of his face I try to turn his face to look at me.
Fucking hell.
At my touch he seems to calm down a little, his cries becoming more controlled, as I stroke his cheek with my heart hurting the more I see him this distressed and not understanding what is going on, he moves in one smooth motion that even though I am Dhampir I still can't see that fast.
Somehow he has managed to bury his face into my stomach, his hands having let go of my arm to wrap around my waist, holding onto me ever so tight.
"Oh Cairo, it hurts to see you this way, I am right here beside you for you to talk to, whatever you have got to say I will listen, for your worries are my worries, your pain is my pain, your happiness is my happiness, as we are forever and always."
As soon as he hears me speak he stills, going as rigid as a statue, his arms loosening their hold on my waist, my insides letting out a silent sigh as I am able to breathe properly again.
"Cairo?"
Even calling his name does not get him to respond to me, stroking my hand through his hair as I hold his head to me, his hands stroking up the back of my t-shirt, stroking his fingers up and down the bare skin of my back.
Then it hits me, could he be relapsing? When it happened the last time he ran away because he didn't want me to see him the way he was, but if what I think is true then this time why is it different? He just seems to want to hold me- I mean I'm not complaining, I love him holding me and not letting go but this is something else, this is something different that goes deeper than his bipolar.
"I am afraid."
Finally the big scary vampire speaks.
Stroking his hair more, I try to speak in a soothing voice.
"What are you afraid of?"
Slowly he brings his head out of my stomach and sits up to finally meet my eyes, the man looking back at me looks like a stranger, his skin is papery, there are red cirlces around his eyes making it look like he has been staying up all night and all day for a month, his eyes startling me- they are the most vulnerable I have ever seen them, the green of them being the britghtest I have ever seen them and for the first time a yellow now swims around with his gorgeous green, something about it not looking how they should.
