it’s been too long. sam has missed his lovers something awful, so instead of heading back to the apartment with the other infernals, he goes right straight to zev and kalen’s instead. it’s slowly become his own home; he even has his own key, which he uses to let himself into the apartment. he’s pretty sure kalen should be asleep so he sneaks to the bedroom and freezes. there, on the bed, is kalen alright, but he’s shuddering and shaking, tears staining his face and the first thought sam asks himself is ’ why didn’t kalen call me ’ but it doesn’t matter really. his precious lover is in pain for whatever reason and he spares no time in crawling on the bed and pulling kalen into his lap. ❝ shh , ❞ he coos, kissing kalen’s forehead and rocking side to side. ❝ i’m here baby , ❞ sam whispers, dotting his lover’s face with kiss after kiss to calm his crying.
