Hercules stepped back from the balcony and sild down the wall beside the door leading into the house. What was happening to him.
He couldn't do this right now. He had to be that pillar of support for his husband and daughter, but the alcohol in his system was causing him to break down. So he let go.
Trails of bitter tears streamed down his face. His vision blurred and he felt the cool air brush against his wet cheeks. His body felt weak as he strugggled to get ahold of his senses.
The door knob twisted silently and Laf looked around outside. He wouldn't have even noticed his husband, had Herc not sniffled a bit.
"Mon amour." Laf whispered, sitting beside Herc.
Herc jolted up and hastily attempted to wipe away his tears. He wouldn't let Laf see him cry, especially since he had cried after his brothers visit
He attempted to steady his breathing and faced his husband.
"Laffy, I just needed so fresh air." Herc said.
Laf gave him a soft smile, before wrapping Herc in a tight hug.
"Liar." Laf whispered.
Herc felt his resolve dissipate as he melted into his husbands grasp. He no longer held back the tears that pained him, or controlled the sobs that made his body shake uncontrollably.
He let his head rest against Laf's shoulder as his tears wet the fabric of Laf's shirt. Laf strengthened his grip around him and softly ran a hand through Hercs curly hair.
"Je t'aime." Laf whispered.
