Ravil was terrified. Still sitting next to Artem's bed, he spoke.
"Artem, I'm scared," Ravil said, casting his viridian gaze to the floor.
"Hm?" Artem, in the bed, rolled over to peer at his husband.
"What if I hurt you again?" Ravil asked.
"You won't." Artem assured him.
"But I did." Ravil answered.
"Listen, moy solnyshka," Artem began. "You won't hurt me. Stop worrying so much. I'll make sure you never hear those damn words ever again. Leopold is gone now. I'll protect you, so just chill out."
Ravil sighed, but said nothing in return.
"It'll all turn out alright in the end, moy solnyshka." Artem looked at Ravil with a gaze practically brimming with confidence in the future. "We've made it this far."
Somehow, Ravil felt at ease. "Alright, Tëma."
