lance's prov....

"wait" he said. I turn back to him and stand my ground. "can you stay. I don't want to be left alone...." he asks his voice breaking. "please" he asks in tears looking up at me. I nod. How could I say no. I held him close as he buried his head into my chest. He was shaking as if he was cold. Then I heard it. A soft sniffle. I knew right then and there he was crying and that he was scared to death. "It's alright I'm here. Lance is here"I hushed rubbing his head softly. I grabbed a soft blanket remembering how he likes to cuddle up with something soft when he scared, and wrapped it around his trembling body.

"You sh..should mark me"he said, as his voice shook and hiccuped. I hushed him rubbing his head softly. " not now not like this. Besides your scared. And hurt let alone shaking. I will wait until your are better." I said in a calm voice as I meet his eyes. "But it would make me feel bet...t...ter" he sniffled. "Are you sure you want that"I asked.

He nodded yes and moved his hair. "Please lance. I don't want to be that creeps"he begged. "Alright" I agreed getting comfortable. Suddenly he took out a knife from under the pillow. I froze. "You have to cut it out"he said sniffling more. "Alright" I said as I moved his hair and counted down. "Three, two, one" I said as I began to cut out the marking. I could hear him whimpering. I stopped. "Do you need a break" I asked. He gripped my hand. "Don't stop finish it"he whimpered. I began to cut more. Hearing his whimpers grow I wanted to stop yet he didn't want me too.

I finished cutting out his marking and started to clean up the blood. "Ready" I asked. "Y...yes" he said. "You don't sound so sure"I joked. "Please don't joke" he begged. "Sorry trying to lighten the mood"I said. "I am ready" he said a bit more confident. I leaned in and softly bit his neck. I could feel his breathing and grip loosen. "Thank you"he said beginning to cuddle me. I held him gently. He laid his head down on my shoulder but his nose under my chin. He was comfortable with me. He felt safe and happy but so was i.
