Summary
The unconditional love of Neuvillette floods through Wriothesley, washing over his soul and soothing it, turning it into his epiphany – because no matter what, he is enough for Neuvillette.
---
Showing physical weakness and accepting that he cannot avoid being seen, that he’s vulnerable… This is one of the hardest things that Wriothesley has ever done.“It is okay to not be okay. I won’t think any less of you for this, you know that, right?”
As if Neuvillette would hear his thoughts, he speaks while he holds him still, tender arms pulling him closer, light fingers caressing his bare skin. He nudges Wriothesley to lean into his shoulder with his full weight, as if he would say, I am here.
Wriothesley almost died yesterday - and now he is the caged prisoner of his body, incapable and helpless like he hasn't been in a long time. To see and to be seen – it’s also a form of love between them. Neuvillette cares and helps, if Wriothesley lets him.
- or, the introspective fic no one asked for about what it means to be vulnerable and powerless for a man who made himself to be the protector of the innocents, his body a tool of his ideals
