"Crainer!"

Crainer quickly looked away from the shatter mirror to face Shride, whom looked at him with a calm expression and had his hand gripping his own shoulder.

"S-Shirde..." he mutter out in a daze making the other hum a bit, "Though I am glad that you're awake, let go to the bathroom to check those wounds and clean them" Shride calmly said as he started to lead Crainer to the bathroom. Once inside, Shride had started cleaning all the small cuts on Crainer's face, arms and hands as both men were sitting in, surprisingly, comfortable silence and once all of Crainer's wounds was cleaned and covered in small band-aids, they were back in the bedroom and both were sitting on the couch, side-by-side.

"So..do you want to talk about it?" Shride asked after a few minutes of silence causing Crainer to sigh a bit and slouch a bit, luckily Shride was patient enough to wait for the Dane to be ready to talk.

Soon Crainer lifted his head a bit and turn to the other male, "Um..." Crainer slightly bit his bottom lip, deciding whether or not to tell Shride before swallowing a bit. "I-I saw an illusion of Ian..." he mutter out making Shride frown a bit before looking away, "I see...you saw the hallucination of Ian" he softly said, completely understanding the reason behind it.

Soon Shride sigh out through his nose before looking back to Crainer, "Maybe you should get some sleep" he said making Crainer blink a bit before looking back down, "I....don't want to" the Dane said, shaking his head. "Come on Crainer, you're pushing yourself too hard that you're worrying everyone" Shride told him as he placed his hand on Crainer's shoulder. "Look, I made sure to check for any dangers so we're all safe for now" he started to explain, "So this would be the perfect time to get some much needed rest"

Crainer was listening to the other talk and somehow knew that Shride was right. "B-But...I don't want to be alone" Crainer soon admitted making the other nod, "If it makes you feel safe, I'll be here with you" Shride said before frowning in confusion when Crainer shook his head. "I-I don't want to lay down as well" the Dane weakly said.

"Mm...then you can lay on my shoulder" Shride simply told him which Crainer looked at him for a second before slowly nodding and laid his head on top of Shride's shoulder, slightly sighing out before closing his eyes.

(Few Minutes Later)

"Crainer?......already knocked out" Shride simply said with a calm smile as he was listening to Crainer's soft breathing.

"Mm...you know Crainer" Shride started to talk as his smile turned a bit grim, "No matter what....don't acknowledge the hallucinations or else...." he soon trailed off as he ignored a strong grip on his other shoulder.

"Just don't be like me..."
