“please… please don’t leave me” ( kai and caelus,,,, )
DON’T LET ME GO//LET ME GO. || accepting ( @planetei )
— caelus’s grip on his wrist was tight, almost painful as he begged jongin not to leave. the nightmares ( or was it night terrors, jongin wasn’t sure anymore but regardless, it had caelus terrified ) had gotten worse over the past few nights and tonight in particular, the male was convinced that jongin was going to leave him for whatever reason.
the male had only shifted to the edge of the bed to turn on the bedside lamp but before he could even do so, his lover’s hand gripped his wrist tightly to stop any movements. jongin sat quietly in the dark, partially because he was still trying to wake himself up from his sleeping stupor and partially because he was trying adjust his eyes to the darkness.
“okay…ow…” jongin muttered, placing a hand gently on the hand caelus was gripping his wrist with, “easy there, i’m not going anywhere, i’m just turning on the lights,” jongin murmured, trying to get caelus to ease up. shifting himself back towards caelus, “i’m not going anywhere, i promise,” he said, as loudly as his hoarse voice would allow ( what time was it anyways?? ).
lying back down in bed, he drew caelus closer and embraced the younger tightly, “i’m right here, i’m not going anywhere, i promise,” he said, repeating the words over and over until the other believed him and then some. “i love you, i’m not leaving, not now, not ever.” jongin breathed, rubbing the other’s back, hoping to soothe his sobs.
he really wanted to know what was causing so much terror and pain in caelus so he could ease those pains but he didn’t want to push the other into sharing because it may not be something he was comfortable with sharing. he desperately wanted to know what had gotten the battle-hardened, terrifying as fuck assassin so upset…
“right here, baby…always, forever.” he murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of caelus’s head.
