Theater and cures

4

Dýo's play had gone relatively well. It was afterwards that made him irritable. 

Hazel had sat in the back once more and like always was the loudest one clapping. Dýo couldn't help but wonder if clapping that loud hurt his hands. His soft warm hands. It must have been painful to clap that loud.

After Dýo had gone out to chat with fans like usual, a woman approached after they'd all cleared. 

"Hello. A friend of mine heard about your theater and was hoping you'd be willing to join his."

Dýo's eyes went wide. 

"I can't. I run this place and my siblings would be devastated if I left." 

The truth was Dýo didn't want to leave Hazel alone with his siblings. Sure they where his family but this was his friend, who was still quite skittish around his siblings. He had to be there to help him fully adjust to his new surroundings.

The woman sighed sadly.

"Suit yourself his plays are most interesting."

She said walking off.

Dýo couldn't help but get a sneaking suspicion from this woman. Like something may happen but he didn't dwell on it as once again, when he walked in, Learchos came to bother him.

"What'd the woman ask? Go out or something?"

Dýo glared at his brother. His family knew full well he liked other males, and yet Learchos still teased him about liking females. 

"Learchos, just stop for one minute." 

Of course that didn't happen. After the teasing Dýo went to Hazel, not to complain, but to feel some kind of comfort. 

Hazel was laying in his bed, head facing the wall. It looked as though he was asleep. Dýo took off his red velvet, puffed sleeve jacket and placed it on the desk chair along with his cloak. Leaving him with is white collared undershirt. Climbing into Hazel's bed, he wrapped his arms around his waist, face buried into his shoulderblade.

Hazel was awake during this time and felt all of this. His face heated up. 

"Rough day?"

Dýo grumbled and buried his face further into Hazel's shoulderblade. Hazel rolled so he was on his back and Dýo rested his head on Hazel's chest. 

Hazel begun to run his fingers through Dýo's hair. Dýo sighed and shut his eyes. 

"You wanna tell me what happened?"

Dýo grumbled again. 

"I take that as 'no'."

Hazel chuckled. Dýo blushed. His laugh was angelic. He shut his eyes after looking at the door. Hazel eventually begun to cuddle him. His affection side was showing a little towards him, he knew it was but Hazel quite frankly didn't care about this side of him showing. 

Dýo was always the cuddly type.

"How come you haven't pushed me off?" 

Hazel was suprised at this question.

"You're my friend, I want to help in anyway I can."

Hazel suddenly felt worried.

"Did someone else before me.....push you away whenever you had a bad day?"

Dýo didn't respond.

Before Hazel he had been with someone. However they didn't show the love he showed to them. Dýo would give so much love and never get it in return. Solaris had noticed and kicked them out saying they where never allowed back in the theater.

Dýo sighed sadly and nodded a little. Hazel was shocked by his answer. Dýo sat up, as did Hazel, who hugged him tightly. Dýo was shook by this. He wasn't afraid to show affection, but ever since his last lover he was too afraid to open up to someone, or give anyone love.

But Hazel was different. He cared for him, showed him some kind of affection and seemed to love him. What he didn't exactly realize was that Hazel was gently kissing his cheek.

"Listen, they aren't here now and besides you got a good friend and three siblings who care for you." 

Hazel said gently placing a hand on the back of Dýo's head and his own over Dýo's shoulder. He was doing his best to comfort his friend and trying his best not to mention the fact that he liked having him near. 

In his eyes you couldn't love someone after knowing them for two days. And yet here he was falling for someone who he barely knew. 

Dýo was having the same problem as Hazel but in his eyes you could love someone you've known for little over two days maximum. But both still had to wait to tell each other maybe a month or two. 

Dýo eventually begun to fall asleep in Hazel's warm, welcome embrace. Hazel didn't mind this at all laying back down with Dýo's head on his chest. One thought went through his head while Dýo lay there looking the most peaceful he'd had in years.

'I love you.'
