Nigel had never been so scared in his life.ย Heโd thought the part of his life that involved guns and adrenaline and blood was overย --ย Left behind in Romania.ย Heโd stayed, since coming to California, on the mostly-straight and relatively-narrow.ย Heโd wanted to start over.ย And, then, heโd wanted to be better.ย For Adam, for his starlight.
But, somehow, a piece of his past had caught up to him.ย Worse than that, it had actually HARMED ADAM.ย And for that, no matter what happened, Nigel was never going to forgive himself.
Nigel, Iโm scared, Adam whimpers, and whatever shriveled pieces of Nigelโs heart that the little spaceman has managed to glue back together shatter anew.
โ Thatโs okay, sweetheart,ย โย Nigel chokes out,ย gathering Adam up into his arms, cradling him against his chest like a baby.ย ย โ Youโre allowed to be scared.ย But you canโt go to sleep, okay ?ย โย ย With one hand, he wipes the tears from his boyfriendโs precious, beloved face, feeling utterly useless.ย ย โ The ambulance is on its way, you just have to hold on until then.ย Iโm sorry, Iโm so sorry.ย Just look at me, darling, stay with me.ย โย
