bywolves: (up)

[ It takes a while - thirty minutes or so - but slowly he starts to loosen up. He blinks his eyes open blearily, and stares up at Alfie, eyes fuzzy and vision slightly blurry. He's holding onto Alfie's hand though, stroking it idly every so often. ]
bywolves: (maybe he's born with it.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay, Alfie. Royce looks at him the same way, eyes finally closing again after a moment. At least he'll sleep peacefully for a while, not letting go of Alfie's hand.

And - well, in his sleep, anyway - his stomach growls low and painfully. Not that Royce notices, but it's loud enough for Alfie to hear. ]
bywolves: (deadass asleep)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He sleeps for a long time. Probably past the time that the sleeping pills work. If he ever actually does wake up, he doesn't show it; he feigns sleep, probably for a good while. It's easier this way, if he doesn't have to move, or think, or disappoint Alfie. ]
bywolves: ✖ flurface (turn around bright eyes)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ He tries very hard to listen, honestly, but it's difficult to catch what Alfie's saying. Eventually he just sighs and rolls closer to Alfie, shifting slowly to put his pillow in Alfie's lap and his head and about a third of his torso on that pillow. Better. ]
bywolves: (what was that.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's fine with that. Pliant enough. However Alfie wants to hold him, he doesn't mind. ]

Was small before. [ Royce mutters. His speech is still sleepy-slush. ] You're just now realizing.
bywolves: ✖ flurface (blue hood)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Where? [ He's still tucked in, eyes closed and body loose. Those sleeping pills are really nice. ]
bywolves: (looks like sin city in here)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Bread. Man, he really used to enjoy bread. ]

I don't. I don't want you to hurt yourself. [ Royce mumbles. ]
bywolves: (awww no.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ A pause, and then, exhausted: ] You can do whatever you want.
bywolves: ✖ flurface (don't)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want anything. [ Royce says, voice finally breaking a little. ] I can't. It - it isn't like I'm not trying, it just doesn't come.
bywolves: ✖ flurface (blue hood)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a long pause, and then Royce just sinks down. Okay. If Alfie's paying attention, he'll be able to see the lights flick off one by one. Nothing is fine. ]
bywolves: ✖ flurface (in the distance)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how to explain to you any more clearly that I can't care. [ Royce says, dully. ] It's gone. I'm - empty.
bywolves: (i can't believe you've done this.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want you to fix it for me. I didn't ask you to. I don't expect it.

[ A pause. ] I can't - deal with -- I can't -- with Ecks, and -- [ God, there it is. There it is, rising in his throat, like bile. He feels like he's going to throw up, and he stops, breath a little harsher. ] I can't. I am -- I am this close to - to --
bywolves: ✖ flurface (grips reins)

[personal profile] bywolves 2018-11-18 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ He maybe thrashes just a little to get out of the blankets, feeling like he can't breathe. Pulling himself to his feet is a near impossible task, but he does it, and he goes - somewhere, he doesn't know, a bathroom or a back room or something - to throw up the nothing that's in his stomach. ]
