[in the attic- :,] TW: PSTD flashbacks?-]

Jekyll is cowered against the HVAC with pure fear in his eyes. Never had he seen Hector this angry, this furious in his entire time knowing the man. The taxidermy begins to tremble as he cowers against the HVAC unit, but he still stares up at Hector with concern in his single eye. He doesn't know what to do so he just stays there, tears brimming up in his eye from his fear, and stays still.

He can't stop his mind from flashing memories of that night with Rudy. That similar anger, the yelling, the slamming door. He knows Hector isn't like that. He knows that he wouldn't be mad at him, leave him behind like Rudy did...

But, oh how he reminds him of that night.

[little Jekyll doodle to make things a bit better- :3]

[Hectors breath is ragged as he stares at the now slammed door. When he turns around and spots Jekyll his shoulders fall and he begins to cry again. It's as if he can't speak...But he mouths 'I'm sorry...' before slowly walking over Jekyll. For a moments hesitation he raises his arms, almost unsure what to do with them. Hector slowly falls to his knees and holds a hand out to Jekyll, letting him decide if he wants the touch. With his other hand he whips away the tears, even if it doesn't really help as more fall..]

My Jekyll and Hyde designs I did on Drawpile! I should draw them more, I really should.

There's more lore shit I'd like to get into, but for now, it's just 'The Adventures of Dr. Henry Jekyll and Some Meth Addicted Crack Child He Found, Not Made'.

[hectorvalentino]

Jekyll, being the forgiving thing he is, doesn't hesitate and immediately lunges at Hector. He tackles the man to the ground and holds him in a bear hug, threatening to dent his metal torso. He buries his face into the vent dweller's hair and just whimpers as they hug.

"Y-you're... Kinda s-scary when a-angry," he whimpers out the sentence while trying his best not to break down. He doesn't need comfort. Hector needs it more than he does right now, so he holds his friend even tighter, somehow, and quietly shushes him. His hands play with Hector's curly hair to try and calm him a bit.

If it calms himself down it might work on Hector too... He hopes.

[Hector tenses up at the sudden touch, but tries to let himself relax against the touch. It takes a moment before Hector returns the touch by wrapping his arms around Jekyll. He let's his face fall into Jekyll's fluffy hair...]

I-I...I didn't mean to scare you...I'm so sorry...

[He hiccups and sniffles through his words. He almost whines...]

[hectorvalentino]

Jekyll looks up at Hector when hearing him say 'thank you'. He blinks a few times, not expecting the gratitude. His tail subconsciously starts wagging and, with a bit of work, he gives Hector a very awkward and trembling smile. He doesn't know how to smile, nor has he really done it as of late... But, if it can make his friend happy he'll try. The worst he can do is make him laugh if it's that bad.

"A... Am I doing i-it right?" He mutters under his breath. He's showing a lot of teeth and his smile is uneven, but he's trying his best.

[Hector watches Jekyll with confusion for a moment before he snorts then quickly tries to apologize.]

Y-yes, you’re doing perfectly my friend.

[He smiles back through the tears and allows himself to whip them away.]

[hectorvalentino]

Jekyll grunts when he's shoved off of Hector and stares up at him with fear in his eye. His ears flatten against his head as he realizes what he did. No no, he did the one thing he said he'd never do. He did it and now he messed up. Oh fuck, oh God no. No no no no.

Jekyll whimpers and just sits there, stunned with fear as he stares at his friend like a statue. He does move an inch as tears fall down his cheek and he stares down at the ground. He's bad. He's bad and he'll never be anything more than that. He fucked up and now Hector is gonna leave him for good. Leave him behind. Not again. Oh God, please not again.

"I'm s-sorry... N-not ag-again... Not... Please..." He chokes out the words and then falls silent again. He's still and quiet like the taxidermy he is. Like the good taxidermy he's supposed to be.

[When Jekyll begins to speak Hector flinches and the unrecognized look in his eyes softens...He puts his arms down slowly and looks at his friend..Tears continue to flow as Hector watches in horror. He can't speak- NO he has too- Hector barely manages to choke out Jekyll's name through his tears...He looks...Horrified.]

[hectorvalentino]

The pounding of feet is heard upstairs before Jekyll jumps down the stars and speeds into the living room like a bat out of hell. He tries to stop himself in front of Hector, but his boots slide against the floor and he ends up just crashing into the am he was trying to protect.

"fuck, fuck, FUCK! OH G-GOD, sorry H-Hector!" He whines and immediately cheeks to see if his friend is okay.

//9/10//

[When Hector hears the heavy foot steps he tries to spin around- but its too late by the time Jekyll rams into him. The two fall to the ground with a thud. Hector gasps and in a moment of blindness- Hector grabs Jekyll's shoulders and pushes back against him. Hector scrambles and nearly slams himself into the wall gasping for breath as tears begin to fall. He stares at Jekyll with no recognition- and whether or not he does recognize him, Jekyll can't see it when Hector folds in on himself covering his face trying to hide as much of himself as he can.]

[hectorvalentino]

Jekyll waits patiently outside of the HVAC and slowly slips inside. He's shaking like a leaf, but crawls in with Hector. He's quick to wrap himself around the vent dweller and wraps his cape around them both. Then he rests his head on his friend's shoulder and sighs.

"... I'm here... Not leaving," his voice is a hoarse whisper as he speaks to Hector. He's surprised that Hector is okay with him being in here with him... It feels wrong, but he won't leave his friend. Not like this at least.

[Hector burrows his face into Jekyll’s shoulder, letting himself slump against his friend. He lets out a shaky sigh and nods pushing deeper.]

Thank you…

[hectorvalentino]

Jekyll whines when Hector leaves and follows after him quickly. He turns his head to look back at Spade and growls, but he chooses to comfort Hector over getting in a fight. He reaches out his hand towards Hector, but doesn't touch him. He does want to make things worse. So, he just stays close, but doesn't initiate contact.

He whines softly and studies Hector's features. He doesn't want to make him more upset... Doesn't want to risk the vent dweller leaving him behind...

Not again.

[Hector hides himself away and closes in on himself more when he notices Jekyll’s staring. Sitting within the darkness of the hvac Hector pushing his face into his knees only letting out a few sniffles…But…The doors aren’t closed. He left them, left the choice…]
