Apollo sighed a bit as he listened to the sound of the rain against the bedroom window. Klavier, his rockstar boyfriend who at one point had been his rival in the courtroom, had called in a sobbing mess asking him to come over and stay with him. It wasn't unusual, him staying at the Prosecutor's place. After all, they'd been dating for a while.
Klavier had been struggling to cope with everything and Apollo couldn't blame him, after finding out his brother was a murderer and the reason he managed to get someone disbarred, he'd let Klavier cry on his shoulder for a week if it made him feel better.
Glancing down to the blonde when he shifted a bit, Apollo ran a hand through the mess of blonde hair. The usual perfectly curled coil had come undone when Klavier laid his head down in his lap and curled up. Apollo couldn't help but smile sadly, he hated seeing Klavier look so broken and vulnerable. It made him wish he could take all the pain away.
He leaned back against the headboard and glanced to the window after a few moments, continuing to mess with Klavier's hair gently allowing himself to get lost in thought. He snapped back to reality when he heard his phone chime, leaning to pick it up off the table where it lay abandoned, he looked at the message on his screen.
[From: Trucy]
You looked worried when you left the office, everything okay Polly?
[To: Trucy]
Klav called, everything's fine. He just wanted my opinion on a case he's working on.
He felt bad for lying to Trucy, but he didn't feel like it was his right to tell his sister that his boyfriend was having a rough time mentally. He sighed a bit and placed his phone on the bed next to him and glanced down at Klavier once more. Frowning at the tears on his face, he gently wiped them away and leaned back, closing his eyes after a few moments.
He wasn't sure how much time had passed between the time he closed his eyes to when he opened them again, all Apollo knew is he was now laying curled up on the bed. When had Klavier woke and when had he laid down? Deciding to figure that out later, Apollo glanced to the clock he knew was on the bedside table and rubbed his eyes, realizing it was nearing midnight. He sat up and climbed out of bed, realizing Klavier wasn't there with him.
He started to leave the bedroom, but stopped when he passed the mirror and back tracked realizing he was no longer dressed in his usual attire and was wearing one of Klavier's t-shirts. He smiled a bit as he continued walking, even when he was feeling his worst Klavier still did his best to make sure Apollo was comfortable.
Finding Klavier sitting on the couch in the living room, Apollo sat down next to him and curled up against his side. Klavier wrapped an arm around Apollo and relaxed, humming a bit.
"Thank you, Schatzi." Klavier said. "For coming over."
"Of course, I didn't wanna leave you alone in a time of need." He said, humming a bit when Klavier nuzzled into his hair.
"Still, I appreciated it." The other male responded.
"You've done the same for me, so of course I was going to do the same for you." Apollo asked, looking up to Klavier and smiling a bit.
Apollo did have a point, Klavier supposed. After all, when Clay was murdered Apollo had called him frantic and in tears and begged Klavier to come over. Of course he'd gone over right away and allowed Apollo to curl up in his lap and cry for hours.
"You do have a point." He conceded. "Ich liebe dich, schatzi." He hummed, pressing a kiss to Apollo's forehead.
"I love you too, Klav."
