(Later that evening) 

Aesop's POV:

I was laying peacefully on Josephs chest, while he intertwined our fingers and fiddled with my hair. 

"What's wrong Dear, you are being awfully quiet." Joseph sat up and looked into my eyes. 

"Ah it's not a big deal really,  just something that happened today..." I looked mumbled, looking down.

Joseph brought my face back up with his hand and placed a gentle kiss on my lips, before resting his chin on my shoulder. "What happened, you know you can tell me anything, Love." He whispered in my ear, putting me at ease.

I explained what had happened today with Eli and tears started forming in my eyes. "I...I don't know what I did... Eli is one of my friends and...and..." Joseph pulled me into a hug and I sank into his chest.

"It's alright Dear, everything will be fine, I'm here for you." Joseph whispered into my ear, putting his hands through my hair and gently swaying me in his arms.

I cried into his chest and Joseph continued to comfort me until I was alright again.

"Are you okay now Darling?" Joseph kissed my forehead as I looked up at him and nodded. "Good." 

We held each other for a long while and Joseph convinced me that Eli was probably just having a bad day.

"Hey Aesop." Helena knocked on the door and walked in

Joseph froze and shot me a glance.

"Afternoon Helena." I smiled at Helena as she stepped in my room and shut the door behind her.

Joseph was still frozen and staring at me in utter shock.

"Don't worry she's blind." I whispered in his ear. 

Joseph sighed of relief and I laughed under my breath. 

"Emily told me to tell you that food will be ready in a minute so you better come down." Helena smiled in my direction.

"Ah okay thank you." I smiled. "See you later then." 

"Your welcome, see you later Aesop." Helena walked back out the door. "Bye Joseph." She shut the door behind her and went back downstairs.

"Yeah bye Hel- WAIT!" Joseph shot me a glance and I burst out in laughter. "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING ONE OF THE OTHER SURVIVORS JUST SAW ME- US- TOGETHER!" 

"No like I said she's blind." I couldn't stop laughing at Joseph's reaction.

"BUT SHE SAID BYE JOSEPH!" Joseph grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me about.

"Jose- calm down, she just sensed your presence, she can't see things only sense them." I continued to laugh under my breath. 

"Oh 'well' thats a relief... BUT SHE STILL FUCKING KNOWS IM HERE!"

"Don't worry Joseph, she's the one who told me to admit my feeling to you, she's like our third wheel, I tell her everything." I coughed out of too much laughing.

"Well you could've at least told me that... are you sure she won't tell anyone else though?" Joseph let go of my shoulders and sighed. 

"100% I trust Helena with my life." I reassured Joseph before letting out a few more laughing fits.
