Theater and cures

7

Hazel awoke sooner than usual. Something felt off to him, yet he didn't know what exactly felt off. Dýo was still asleep next to him, he had the instinctal urge to hold onto him and protect him from whatever was close by.

Hazel sat up and pulled Dýo's sleeping body into his arms holding him there. He felt Dýo shift and wrap his arms around his waist, causing him to blush slightly but continue to hold onto him none the less. 

Eventually Hazel had enough of the feeling of being watched and went into the theater carrying Dýo in his arms. Walking back to the back door of the theater house quietly so as not to disturb the sleeping male in his arms. He managed to get back inside and walk to his bedroom carefully placing Dýo on the bed and climbing in next to him.

Dýo stirred and opened his eyes looking at Hazel and pulling him closer to him burying his face into his shoulder and shutting his eyes hold Hazel against his body who was blushing profusely. He was practically frozen on the spot. Soon enough Dýo's grip on his body relaxed and his breathing became soft and slow.

Hazel moved away from him and rolled so he was facing the bookshelf, when arms wrapped around his waist pulling him back so he was once again up against Dýo's half asleep body. He continued to try and escape from his warm and inviting grasp but failed to do so. Soon enough he gave up trying to escape the theater man and laid his head down still blushing quite a lot.

"Don't leave."

Dýo mumbled the words just as Hazel stopped squirming, he turned Hazel so he was facing him and pressed him into his body refusing to let go of him. Hazel only squeaked as his blush continued to darken.

~~~~~~~~

Dýo eventually awoke once again finding Hazel passed out in his arms. He smiled and cautiously moved to the side of the bed causing Hazel to shift and slowly wake up.

"Good morning Hazel!  How'd you sleep?"

Dýo asked softly smiling at him. Hazel's face turned dark red and he looked away quickly.

"G-Great...You refused t-to let me go last night so....uhm..."

Hazel covered his face with his hands. This caused Dýo to chuckle lightly.

"Awww come on Hursty."

Hazel turned away at his nickname still hiding his face in his hands. Dýo pulled them away from Hazel's face and tilted his head a little bit. Hazel stared at him, taking in his features again for the hundredth time. 

"You're staring at me. Are you alright my friend?" 

Hazel nodded and sighed sadly resulting with him in Dýo's arms. 

"Don't lie to me Hursty. I can tell something is wrong."

Hazel suddenly hugged Dýo tightly burying his face into his chest and silently sobbing.

"I saw someone outside last night, they were staring at us!"

Dýo hugged Hazel as he said this. He knew there was someone there but he couldn't see them.

"Get some rest. My siblings and I will go take a look around the place okay?"

Hazel nodded and laid down after Dýo had gone. He felt watched again and hid under the blanket only having his face out of it. Soon enough he felt someone grab him and yank him from under the covers.

The person grabbed both of his wrists and shoved him towards the wall, pinning him there. Hazel squeezed his eyes shut and he held his breath like he was expecting to have something happen but nothing did.

"He's. Mine." 

A voice whispered in a threatening way.

"Although, you aren't half bad."

Hazel soon realized who this was and looked over fear written across his face. He kicks the man in the stomach and runs out of his room and outside to the lavender field and to Dýo in tears. He was afraid if he stayed something would happen.

Hazel soon found Solaris and ran to him hugging him as tears spilled from his eyes.

"Whoa! Hey! What happened?!"

Hazel didn't respond he continued sobbing as the others came over. Dýo quickly hugged Hazel and began trying to calm him down. Hazel's sobbing didn't cease to exist it continued. He was clearly frightend by something. Solaris looked down at the two hugging in front of him concerned.

"We'll go inside and look okay?"

Dýo nodded slightly and pulled Hazel closer rubbing his back gently trying to sooth him. Eventually Hazel calmed down and fell asleep in Dýo's arms again. Dýo sat down holding him close still rubbing his back. Dýo soon went inside carrying Hazel to find Solaris had Dýo's ex pinned against the wall looking furious.

Learchos was making sure all the windows were locked as Namasri checked the doors. Solaris made sure any other entrances were closed, he was still quite upset but calmed down a little.

Hazel was cuddled closer to Dýo he'd refused to leave his side the rest of the day and that night he cuddled Dýo as if he were a child. Dýo allowed this to happen. Because of what happened that morning Hazel was to afraid to be left alone again. 

Dýo held him closer that night.
