Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 84: Whispers

:)

------------------------------------------------

Stepping inside, I approached where Ian was sitting on our bed, Visibly trying to keep himself mostly composed, Even as tears streamed down his face.

Unidentifiable plants covered the walls. . .Plants that hadn't been there when I left.

Plants that were drooping in what could best be described as in a 'sad way'.

''Ian'' I whispered quietly, Feeling utterly gutted at the so very sad look on his face.

My sweet flower. . .

Slowly, I moved to sit down next to him on the bed.

I reached out and gently rested my hand on his arm as he and I stared at each other.

His eyes started to squint as he became overwhelmed with tears, A small sob leaving him as I reached out to him, Pulling him into my arms.

I silently held onto him, Letting him bury his face in my chest as he sobbed.

''You- You were gone when I woke up and- And I just feared- '' He whispered between sobs, His hands tightly grabbing onto my shirt as he spoke.

I tightened my hold on him, Gently running my hands up and down his back as I quietly made hushing noises.

''I'm so sorry Ian. . .If I knew how worried you'd be I'd- . . .Well I can't be sure what I'd do but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't leave you if I knew it'd make you cry'' I whispered earnestly against his soft, Strawberry blonde hair.

He didn't respond to that, But his hiccupping sobs were settling down. . .So I counted that as a good sign.

''I didn't realize-'' I started to whisper quietly, Apologetically before Ian tightened his grip around me in a slightly tighter hug.

A small, Hesitant smile formed on my face as he raised his head off of my chest, His eyes red from his crying.

''Hey flower'' I whispered quietly, My smile growing when a fragile, Tiny, Closed lipped smile formed on his face as well.

''Hey gloomy. . .I'm. . .I'm sorry I've overreacted-'' Ian started to whisper back before I reached my hands up to gently cup his face.

''You didn't overreact. . .I should have told you where I was going, You are my boyfriend after all, I never meant to hurt you like that. . .Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?'' I quietly questioned, Earning a slightly happier smile from my lover.

''You. . .Could hold me'' He murmured quietly.

Smiling, I pulled him onto my lap, My hands moving to his shoulders to press him closer to my body.

''You could kiss me'' He continued, A bit more confident than before, His tears slowly having been forgotten now that we were safe together again.

''More than happy to oblige'' I whispered back, Peppering a trail of kisses up his neck, Stopping to press a final chaste one to his lips as he shivered under my attentions.

''Will you touch me?'' He meekly requested, His eyes drifting closed as he leaned down to rest his head on my closest shoulder.

''Careful, Give me permission to touch you and I'll never stop'' I quietly chuckled out, Gently trailing my hands up his clothed back before moving back down to the hem of his shirt.

He was shivering slightly as I gently brushed my hands over his exposed hips, Slipping my hands up under his shirt to trace every dip and curve of his body.

I kissed at his exposed neck as I slowly worked his shirt off over his head.

''Corbin. . .Please. . .Never leave me'' My sweet flower whispered quietly as I gently laid him out on the bed, Leaning over him in the darkness.

Reaching out, I cupped the back of his head, Pressing a firmer kiss to his soft lips.

''Not a force in heaven or on earth will take me willingly away from you'' I quietly promised, Just relieved to see Ian no longer crying.

I. . .Really do not like seeing him cry. . .

His skin was warm beneath my hands as I gently explored his body, Relishing every hitched breath, Every tiny gasp that'd leave his mouth when I'd find a sensitive part of his body.

Knock knock knock

The loud sound made both him and I pause.

I didn't hear any screaming. . .So I went back at kissing at my boyfriend.

Or. . .Well, I tried to.

''C-Corbin! Shouldn't we get the door?'' Ian whispered out, Squirming underneath me as he spoke.

''I'm sure whatever it is can wait until the morning'' I murmured against his skin, Smiling happily when he shivered slightly.

''Corbin.'' Ian sighed out, Squirming around until he could give me a look.

I stared back at him for a long moment before sighing.

''Thank you love'' Ian whispered, Knowing damn well that he had me wrapped around his finger.

Sighing, I pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth before climbing out of bed, My hair and clothes a mess.

This better be good.

Scowling, I made my way to the front door, Very displeased at having been interrupted.

Opening the door, I was fully prepared to chew the person on the other side a new one.

That was until I saw who was on the other side.

''Hey. . .Daxon. . .You alright?'' I questioned quietly, Because, Honestly? He didn't look so good at the moment.

''Ah, Sorry for disturbing you at such a late hour. . .May I come in, Please?'' He requested quietly, Making me frown.

I could turn him away. . .But the expression on his face reminded me of how I would always feel when I'd come home alone after dealing with 'the better days' group.

Sighing, I stepped aside, My hopes of getting to snuggle with my boyfriend very swiftly going down the drain.

Ah well. . .I have a pretty good idea what kind of mindset he's in right now. . .I've seen some of the horrors they've done to people. . .Better he's with people that can ensure he doesn't hurt himself or some shit. . .

'Yikes, I know that look, I'll go get the hot coco' Eige whispered as Cali went to fetch Ian.

Even Tene was acting careful and respectful as I ushered Daxon over to the couch.

Well. . .Guess tonight I gotta comfort both of the men in my life. . .

At least I've got Ian and my dragons with me. . .
