[You can't see it, but Herz is sitting in Tanvir's bed, grinning like an idiot.]

[defiant_rage]

[SNARL.]

none of my icons capture his face right now

[havea_heart]

[JESUS FUCK.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH.

Okay, that TOTALLY made him drop his comm and yelp like a frightened dog.]

i feel sorry for Herz.

[tanvirus]

[WHAT

WHAT'S GOING ON

He's awake, he's awake, what's happening--

Oh. S'just Herz. He scoots closer and shoves his face into Herz's hip.]

Whz gnon?

[Translation: "what's going on?" Remind him not to talk before he's properly awake.]

8< I don't

[havea_heart]

[Which causes Herz to JUMP ANOTHER MILE. He's shaking like a leaf.

FFFFFFF.]

okay, I won't either. :D

[tanvirus]

[Stop that. No shaking. No leaf-shaking allowed.

He rolls over to look at Herz properly and signs a slightly groggy "What?" at him.]

[havea_heart]

[Herz shakes his head. He doesn't know how to explain why he's so frightened. He isn't really sure what he just heard, but the intention was pretty clear. Something doesn't like him missing Erol.

Anything that would miss Erol is NOT something Herz wants as an enemy.

Looks and questions are not going to get him to calm down.]

[tanvirus]

[Okay. Okay, he can deal with this. Somehow. He sits up and slides his arms around Herz, kissing the other man's cheek.

...he could probably stand to neaten his beard, sorry Herz.

Relax, boyfriend. You are safe here.]

[havea_heart]

[Oh. Okay this is better.

Herz clings to Tan, not caring about the burn his beard leaves across his skin. He presses their cheeks together, then slides his face down to, well, hide in the crook of Tan's neck.

S-Sorry, that just

Scared the shit out of him.]

[tanvirus]

[Yeah, deep breaths there, Herz. Tan strokes his back, reassuring. Whatever it is that scared him isn't here, and would have to go through Tan to get to him anyway.

So see?

Perfectly safe.]
