Crystallization

CHAPTER 2 - COMFORT

Kanan came in to see how was Ezra.

Kanan: "Hey Kid, how are you?"

Ezra: "I don't know..."

Kanan: "Want to talk about it?"

Ezra nodded and Kanan took him to his room to talk in private. As they entered they sat in the bed facing each other.

Ezra: "You know it right?"

Kanan: "Sorry Kid".

There was a silence between them until Kanan broke it.

Kanan: "When we were on Fort Anexes what did the Inquisitor told you while I was unconscious?"

Ezra: "I-I don't want to talk about it".

Kanan: "Ezra, you know you can trust me I'll always be here whenever you need me".

Kanan said while putting a hand on Ezra's shoulder. Ezra thought for a moment until he started to talk.

Ezra: "He told me that you'd die... everything I believe would disappear..."

He started to sob remembering those words, then Kanan pulled Ezra in a hug letting him cry in his chest while rubbing his back. As Kanan did that he thought 'How dare him say something like that to my Ezra, he's dead next time I see him'.

After a while he noticed that Ezra had fallen asleep so he laid him on the bed as he started to get up he felt a hand in his sleeve, he turned and heard Ezra say:

Ezra: "Don't... leave me".

Kanan decided to sit in a chair next to Ezra and rubbed his head. After a while Kanan was getting sleepy so he laid next to Ezra and hugged him tightly in a protective way.

At the next morning Ezra woke up in a warmth embrace, he opened his eyes and saw he was in the same bed as Kanan and Kanan was hugging him tightly, as he looked up he saw their faces where very close so he blushed intensely. He managed to get out of the bed and went to the fresher, he got up the sleeve and saw that the crystallization was gone so he calmed down.

He thought for a moment remembering what happened, how he was comfort by Kanan, how he cried in his chest and how cuddled they were with each other, he blushed a lot remembering them both in the same bed, and at the end he realized that he could go to Kanan sometimes to calm himself.
