Alto sighed and continued looking out of the window. He knew what this conversation was going to be about. He had to return to the Magnolia before they started a search for him. Both Blaine and Dora would get into trouble if he was found here. But-

Who knew what they would do to him when he returned? And that customer who had hurt him so badly the last time was still around. The problem wasn't solved. If anything, by sneaking away, it had only gotten worse.

The young man picked at the scabs on his face and remained silent.

Blaine looked at Alto, waiting for a response. When there was none, he sighed. "Stop picking at your wounds." Just mentioning an injury made his hand go up and rub his fingers over his healing black eye that was concealed behind his hair.

"The Madame knows that I took you, and I told her I would bring you back after you were healed." The still raven-haired man stayed lounged in his chair. "She isn't happy, but she has no idea where I'm keeping you. She also knows about that customer of yours, but I have no idea if she'll do anything about it." Which was why he was going to find him and kill him.

The young man blinked and glanced up. "She knows?" Well, that was one problem solved at least. At the mention of his customer, however, Alto flinched and glanced over at Dora. Some things should not be said around children. Besides, he didn't want to have to lie to her when she started asking questions.

He placed a finger on each side of his mouth and pushed up, forcing himself into a smile. That was one thing he had better start learning to do before he returned.

How long was he going to last like that before he goes insane?

Where is my script, Father? What role am I supposed to play now?

Dora sat between the two men, playing with her kittens and looking like she wasn't paying attention. Grownups Were Talking after all. She had been worried when Alto had shown up at her home looking like he had been in a fight and while she didn't know how Alto might have gotten hurt at work (and was still largely clueless about what sort of work went on in the Magnolia) she worried about him. She had started worrying a lot lately it seemed.

"Is Alto going to be alright?" she asked, mostly to Blaine because... well Blaine knew almost everything in her mind. He knew when it was safe and when it wasn't. He'd make sure Alto was going to be alright because that was just what he did.

And that stoicism managed to last a moment longer before Alto gasped and tried to squirm away, the urge to laugh and cry at the same time escaping his tense form.

"L-let me go... stop it!"

[cant_getoveryou]

But he didn't, not yet. Once Alto was a pile on the floor he would stop.

[princesspilot]

Alto wanted to scream, hating how his reactions were forced out of him, making him do things that he didn't want to. Even if it was to laugh. Using an actor's body against him was unforgivable- this wasn't fair.Alto wrapped his fingers around Blaine's wrists and tried to force the other man away from him.

"D-don't..."

[cant_getoveryou]

Blaine allowed himself to be stopped, legs on either side of Alto's waist as he lay on the floor, wheezing from his fight against the tickling. The man's face was solemn now. What else was there? He couldn't think of how to make any of this better. If it was him, sex really would be the cure all, but that was something tainted to Alto and entirely unwelcome.
