"Marius, if you don't want me up there, I'll stay here." Even though he did want to know.

He wanted to nod, to thank Kyle, but he knew that he was just being ridiculous. He was making a big deal out of nothing. “Honestly, it’s fine,” he sighed, straightening his back.

Kyle still didn't look convinced, it was painfully obvious but he nodded slightly, "Okay, but I won't go further then the entrance."

Marius gave a shrug as if to say 'do what you want', masking his relief under a veil of casual nonchalance. The pair took the elevator up, exchanging few words, and when they'd arrived at his apartment, he hesitated with the key in the lock.

"Hey," Kyle gently guided the key into the lock, begin careful to be soft and cautious with his own movements, "I'm here, you're home."

That's the problem. I'm home. He'd said goodbye to the apartment before leaving for his classes– and his suicide note was set on the kitchen table. Unfreezing himself, Marius pushed open the door and entered.

Kyle followed shortly behind but didn't go further then the entrance, just like he said. He watched Marius for a moment before drawing his gaze to the floor.

Marius couldn’t bear to look around, to see the home he hadn’t been supposed to return to. He made straight for his bedroom and changed as quickly as possible, eyes glued to the floor.

Kyle leaned against a wall, thoughts in his thoughts as he waited patiently. Maybe a walk would be good for him to clear his head, too.

He made his way back to the front door, to Kyle, dressed in a fresh pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. “Let’s go.”

Kyle dragged himself out of his thoughts, putting on a small smile, "Hm? Oh yeah, after you."

They made their way back down to the car together, hardly speaking. Marius’s eyes darted from pedestrian to pedestrian, to the trees, the lampposts, even the pigeons.

The air was cool and the sun gave little warmth on the chilly morning, making Kyle wish he put some more layers on. He wanted to talk but didn't know what to say.

Eventually, he knew one of them would have to speak. And since Kyle didn't seem to have any idea about what to discuss, Marius was forced to speak up. "So.… breakfast was good. Thank you."

Kyle waved a hand idly, "Don't mention it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

Marius wasn’t sure how to respond to that, so he merely nodded and shoved his hands into his pockets.

"Hey, if you ever need anything, don't be afraid to come to me, yeah?" Kyle said seriously.
