tune

Leo just held him, not saying anything this time.

"Okay I'm ready." He whispered after a few minutes had passed

Leo nodded a little, pulling back from the hug, “Okay.”

Elijah leaned down and shyly kissed his lips

Leo kissed him back softly.

Elijah pulled away with a small smile. It fell as soon as he looked towards the car

“You can hold my hand while I drive if it’ll make you feel better…” Leo offered, hoping it would help a little.

Elijah just turned his head back to Leo and stared at him.

“I can’t help if you don’t talk to me.” Leo said, narrowing his eyes just a little.

Elijah returned his gaze to his shoes. "I don't think anything will make me feel better." He said barely audible

“Then… then I don’t know how to help…” Leo replied, sighing softly.

Elijah kissed his cheek. "I'll be okay." It was a lie, but he wanted to make Leo feel better.

Leo shook his head, “Please don’t lie to me, Elijah.”

"I'm not. Let's just…..get it over with." Elijah bit his lip again

Leo still didn’t believe him and it was obvious. He opened the door for Elijah then walked around to get in himself.

Elijah got in, though he dodnt want too. He shakes became visible

Leo become slightly tense, knowing this was going to go horribly wrong.

Elijah covered his ears again and closed his eyes. He tried remembering his home. The rolling hills, the breeze in his face as he rode his horse on a hunt.

Leo made sure to go through the backstreets where it was quieter and there wasn’t as much traffic. It took about ten minutes before they came to a stop.

Elijah was muttering incoherent words to himself. He kept thinking of his home. What his room smelled like, his mother's smile. He remembered the village and the other children he used to bully just because he could. He disnt notice when they stopped

“We’re here.” Leo muttered, climbing out the car.

Elijah looked up, tears staining his cheeks. He got out and wiped his face

Leo locked the car, looking to Elijah, “You sure you want to go to this event tonight?”

Elijah nodded. "I want to be there for you." He looked down at him.

“But… look how you reacted to a car, Elijah,” Leo rubbed at his face with both his hands, “I don’t think it’s a good idea..”

Elijah grabbed his hands. "Please? I want to be with you. I'll be good. I'll do better. I promise. Don't leave me, please." He pleaded

“I wouldn’t leave you,” Leo said, looking down at his feet, “I just don’t want you to freak out in front of so many people tonight. The press will be there and there’ll be cameras and flashing lights and reporters and…”

Elijah just blinked at him. "I don't understand anything you're saying." He said. "I want to be with you. I dont wamt to be left alone. I might set the house on fire if I do."

Leo chewed on his lower lip, “I… I know. I just don’t want you to freak out tonight..”

"As long as I have you I'll be okay. And we can leave if it's too much right?" Elijah asked, brightening a little bit
