Beyond Darkness

My Sciocco

Michael had fallen asleep in Orion's arms. Orion had kept holding on to him, he didn't want Michael to disappear again. Even though he was mad at him after they had talked, they kept laying on the floor until Orion had dragged Michael to bed who was too sleepy to move and then he had to carry him. Orion had never known Michael could've been carrying things like that around. Emotional trauma like that was degrading in its own way. He was worried and proud of him at the same time. He didn't know what he could do to help, but he was willing to try everything.

Orion smiled at the softly snoring Michael. This was the second time he had been caught snoring like this. He would make sure to tease him about this later. He leaned in and placed a small kiss on his forehead. Orion snuggled Michael into him. He held on him tightly, trying to shield him away from any worldly harm possible. Maybe he could do this tonight, because none of them knew what tomorrow brought and what was going to happen to them. It was a shot in the dark... but it was a shot nonetheless.
