It hurt still, everything in his body hurt, and the only times that it seemed to stop was when Dr. Suchong was there or when he was asleep. There had to be something wrong, and he hoped that Sasuke was right, and that the doctor had done something to him, because he was unable to bear it. This was taking far too long to get over, and it was only Sasuke that seemed to be hurting him. If Suchong didn't do something to make this happen... then... Hige didn't even want to think about what that meant ( ... )

Hige didn't know what to do anymore for Sasuke. It had been days since he'd even seen Sasuke, let alone gotten to touch him again, hold him and protect him like the wolf knew that he was supposed to be doing the whole time, but had failed to do so. He had failed as a mate, and now Sasuke was crying and it just... The pain he felt being sick was nothing compared to how bad it was to see Sasuke like this.

He couldn't do anything other than pull Sasuke closer to him, holding him securely against the wolf's chest, rubbing his back reassuringly, wanting to somehow convey that this was real now, and that he wasn't going to push the ninja away, or let anything like before ever happen again.

Hige wanted nothing more than to just kiss Sasuke, make things like they had been just before he had been taken to therapy, before Suchong had done something to his collar that made him hate Sasuke, even though Hige couldn't fully bring himself to be angry at the doctor ( ... )

The hand massaging Sasuke's back was soothing, easing away some of the tension that had built up, freezing the muscles of his spine in place. He wanted to stop crying, stop being so weak, but--something wasn't letting him. Something was screaming from within him, telling him to let up, to release all the ugliness that had congealed around his heart and lungs and stomach--spit it out, in the only way he could ( ... )

Hige didn't care that Sasuke seemed so weak at this moment, like he had broken finally under all the pressure that had just been lifted off of them. No, the wolf was okay with the other's tears, because he knew that it was something good, out of relief, and that he'd been crying for the wolf, something that Hige had never expected from anyone, and there was no way that he could ever fault or think less of his mate for that, for anything that could ever happen ( ... )

Hige looked...different. Less lively, that was certain, but--it wasn't so much his face or hair rather than how strange it seemed now that his collar had been removed. There hadn't been a single moment in their time together in which Sasuke hadn't seen that collar on him, and now that it was off, it seemed--well, he looked different, and ( ... )

It had never even really occurred to Hige exactly what the loss of his collar had implied, but once Sasuke had mentioned it, the wolf finally realized that it really was gone, torn beyond repair. His shoulders didn't have the familiar weight anymore from the collar hanging loosely around his neck. When he was a wolf, it fit more snugly around his neck, but it had been so long since he'd been seen as a wolf, trapped in this human illusion that was now very real, that he almost had begun to wonder if he even truly was a wolf anymore at all ( ... )

It was curious, how steadily Sasuke's perceptions of things seemed to change, each part rolling over one another--transcending, changing. So many things had culminated here: reuniting with Naruto, facing off against Deidara, meeting Hige--and yet so many things had ended: nearly losing Naruto, nearly dying by Deidara's hand, being pulled away from Hige. He'd been so sure that somehow, the staff here would reach beyond the things that could heal and repair and find something in him that could never be replaced, taking it out and wrecking it forever.

He'd been so sure he'd lose Hige, just like he lost his family. He'd never imagined anything could induce the same fear, confusion and grief that night had inspired in him, but-- When he'd thought Hige would be taken away from him, after he'd revealed so much to the other boy, finally let himself out, let someone else in-- His throat had started to close, burning, his legs had shook, his eyes had prickled, and he'd just told himself over and over move, move, move...He could count the times ( ... )
