"Lift your arms." Nolan said, gripoing Ayce's shirt and begining to pull it up

Ayce lifted his arms, wincing slightly as the movement pulled on the barely hear wounds in his back and arms. He lifted his head, too, so that the shirt wouldn't get snagged on his chin.

Nolan carefully lifted the shirt over his head. He dropped the rags on the ground. He turned back to Ayce. He stared at his bare chest and torso. He reach out a hand hesitantly. He looked up at Ayce, silently asking permission

Ayce's body was covered in cuts and bruises and scars, all in various stages of healing. He bit his lip slightly, avoiding Nolan's eyes, but nodded slightly.

Nolan lightly trailed his fingers over the scars and bruises. He was careful to avoid any recent cuts. He circled around his body, doing the same to Ayce's back. Once ge stood back in front of him, he grabbed Ayce's chin gently, but firmly

Ayce shuddered slightly at the contact, body going stock still and his eyes flickering. His chin quivered slightly, and he dragged his eyes to Nolan's, looking shaky and almost…afraid.

His thumb caressed Ayce's chin soothingly. "Do I scare you?" He murmured, taking a small step closer to him.

Ayce took a deep breath, blinking quickly. "I-I…" He stammered slightly. "I d-don't know…" He whispered, eyes flicking down to the ground, then back to Nolan. "Do I scare you?" He used to ask that used to used to used to…

Nolan moved his hand to Ayce's cheek. He caressed it softly. He thumbed his bottom lip. "I want to kiss you." He inched his face closer to the other's.

Ayce sucked in a breath, blinking again. "I…" He stared at Nolan, wide eyed. "B-but why?" He whispered, body stock still. Why? Why would anyone even want to touch me or be around me not after that not after everything not… His blue eyes were wide.

"Because you are beautiful. I want to kiss every inch of your skin, every scar, every imperfection. There's something about you that draws me in and I can put a finger on it. All I know is that my thoughts are full of you and only you. I worry if you're not eating enough, drinking enough. I want you in my arms, hiding you away from all the terrors of the world. I want to take you away." Nolan brought both of his hands up to cup his cheeks.

Ayce's eyes were slightly shiny with tears. His breaths turned shaky. "N-no, I…" His voice was quiet. "Y-you should f-find yourself someone e-else." He whispered. "I-I'm t-too broken for…for anyone." His breath caught slightly, and his lip quivered.

Nolan swiped his thumber under Ayce's eyes, wiping the tears away. "There is no one else. I have never felt this way for anyone and I never will. You are not broken beyound repair. You can heal yourself and I'll be right beside you if you'll have me."

Ayce was shaking slightly. "N-no…why?" He asked brokenly. "Why me? O-out of everyone y-you could choose…" He leaned into Nolan's hands slightly, closing his eyes with tears brimming on his eyelashes.

"Why not you? You are beautiful and wonderful. And I'm going to be here with you every step of the way." Nolan caressed his cheeks. "Let me. Let me give you my love."

"I-I'm not…" He replied. Monster weapon killer whore… His breath shook. "You'll change y-your mind w-when you find out m-more about me and I-I'll b-be alone again a-and…" His voice cracked slightly.

Nolan shook his head. "No, no I won't. I'm never going to leave you. Get that thought out if your head and listen to my voice remember?" He didn't guve Ayce a chance to respind and pressed his lips to his

Ayce stiffened slightly, and leaned against him after a moment's hesitation, kissing him back hesitantly. He won't like this you know he won't you'll just end up killing him like you did to everyone else their deaths are on your hands you fucking monster… He shook slightly, quivering..

After a moment, Nolan pulled away and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead. "It's goung to be just fine. I'm not going anywhere okay." He said firmly

Ayce leaned against him, closing his eyes. "Okay…" He whispered, hands coming up to cling to Nolan's shirt. "Th-thank you." He sniffled softly, closing his eyes.

Nolan wrapped his arms around Ayce. He caressed his back gently. "Of course. Now lets go check out and get you some proper shoes. Then we'll get you a bath and a haircut."

"I-I didn't try the shirt on yet…" Ayce reminded softly, leaning his forehead against Nolan's shoulder and clinging to him still.

Nolan smiled down at him gently. "You have to let me go if you want to try it on." He said softly. He stroked his hair as soothingly as he could

Ayce blinked, and slowly let go, his too thin body shaking slightly. "Okay." He replied softly, looking around for the shirt.

Nolan grabbed the shirt and slipped it over his head. He pressed a small kiss to his brow. "Is it comfortable? Do you like it?"

Ayce hesitated, then nodded. "Y-yeah." He replied softly, looking at Nolan and releasing a shaky breath. "Thank you." He whispered.

Nolan smiled. "Let's go buy it then. You can leave the clothes on, I don't want you in those rags any longer." He bundled up the other shit and trousers and headed to purchase the clothing

Ayce nodded, and followed him after a moment, taking a deep breath, his ragged hair starting to escape the tie it had been put in earlier. "Okay." He said softly, fidgeting with the hem of the shirt a little.

After paying for the clothes and purchasing shoes as well, Nolan led Ayce back to their hotel room. "Lets get you in a bath. How does that sound?"

Ayce blinked, and nodded. "Okay." He replied, heading to the bathroom after a moment. He had taken his shoes off at the door, and bit his lip a little. Is he going to…? He wondered.
