Cale rolled Teghanni with an unusual gentleness when it came to Teghanni, and he was now to the side of him, lying on the side that wasn’t completely broken now. Cale rolled over on his side as well, so he was staring at the younger boy again. “Don’t cry, I didn’t mean to break anything.” Cale said immediately, stiffly, trying not to show that he cared. He kept his hands to himself.
“Newsflash, jackass, it still hurts like shit whether you meant it or not!” He sputtered out before a whine came from his throat and he curled into a ball despite the fact that didn’t make it hurt any less. His knees were now slightly touching Cale’s chest, his head resting against but not on Cale’s outstretched arm, but didn’t even seem to notice the contact with him.
He did, of course, in fact, he was happy. Let that bitch get uncomfortable! He didn’t care how he felt, Teghanni was in pain! P.A.I.N. He would be in pain for weeks, months, years, it felt like it would be forever after this! It was horrible! Stupid Cale!
“Leave me alone.” He whined breathlessly but Cale was warm – he moved closer without thinking. He was scared, scared that'd Cale beat the shit out of him. Hurt, mentally and physically from everything that went on in his life, and he just needed that warmth to comfort him. He pressed himself tightly against Cale's chest, his arms unwrapping from around his knees although still pressed together in a ball, and gripped tightly onto his shirt, his tears slowing down, leaving wet tear marks on his face.
“Teghanni.” Cale complained hotly and uncomfortably, his hands fluttering down and gripped tightly onto Teghanni's, wrapping his sticky fingers around his, desperately trying to pry them off.
Teghanni's grip became steel on Cale's shirt, his fingers holding on tightly. “Please, Cale.” He panted and his head tilted up word, his forehead no pressed against Cale's. “Agh” He suddenly croaked out and released Cale all together, wrapping his arms around himself. “Sorry, man.” Teghanni wasn't a bad person - he wasn't going to do that to Cale. He hiccupped before starting to brokenly sob, the sobs racking against what was left of his connected ribs and painfully hurt the broken ones.
And Cale knew this was hurting him, you could see Teghanni wincing with every shaky breath he took, and sobbing was causing him to flinch and twist closely to Cale again before moving away.
Dammit! Why did Teghanni have to look so freaking hurt? Cale was tempted, so tempted to walk out of the room right now and never look back, never have to see the horrible guy that tormented him day in and out by simply being him, but no. He developed a conscious around these damn Crawfords! He pulled Teghanni back again, his arms and hands resting awkwardly against Teghanni's, his fingers brushing against him before Cale clenched his fists together.
Teghanni noticed this and with a shaky hand, reached in and started to work on unclenching his fists. “I'm sorry.” He blubbered out again and started to pull away when Cale grabbed his arms tightly.
“Stay. Right. There. Don't move, Teghanni, or I swear, I'll kill you for being a bigger idiot then you usually are.” Cale threatened and Teghanni took the warning wisely and hesitantly, cuddled back closer into Cale, his mouth near Cale's jaw, his warm breath breathing unevenly against his jaw.
“I really, fucking hate you.” Teghanni muttered but seemed oddly content where he was, his tears slowing once again and just started hiccupping uncontrollably.
Irked by what Teghanni said, and his hiccupping, he slithered his arm around Teghanni and up to his head, jerking his head up slightly so he was looking up at him. “You think I like you any better? You’re an annoying piece of shit and – oh god, your crying again.” He groaned as Teghanni's waterworks started again when he called him a name.
“I don't mean it, C-cale! You're just always there and I'm not used to it and I just keep thinking if I'm mean to you ,you’re going to keep coming back to get revenge or something and so far, your the only one that might stay! I just lost my engagement and Felly ran off and Jayden hates me and I just use you for some sanity, so I’m really fucking sorry but I always put me first.” He blubbered out, gasping by the end, putting himself through pain to give that big a rant.
Cale fell silent at the words of Teghanni, his mouth hanging open slightly. “Jayden doesn't hate you...Felly's not gone forever...” He tried to argue, not even upset about the mention of Felly now. He was focused of Teghanni, all his heart with the teenager.
“Everybody hates me!” He exclaimed with a wet face, his eyes shining hurtfully. He gripped onto Cale's shirt again. “You hate me and I hate you too!” And with that exclamation, and Cale's open mouth, he took the opportunity to plunge his lips against Cale's with a desperate sob.
