Chapter Text
Lloyd
He stood outside him and Morro’s shared room. He knew he was in there: alone. again. He's been doing that a lot recently. Ever since they found him alone in the hotel room: shaken. After they found him abandoned by Harumi.
Finally he willed himself to open the door and there he was sitting on his bed reading a comic book.
i thought he was still learning how to read.. whatever thats not important
Locking eyes with him, Lloyd walked over to his bed and just sat on the end. No words just sitting. Waiting. Hoping maybe Morro will reach out first this time.

Morro
Here he is reading a comic book. alone. again. He's been doing that a lot lately.
I can't even read half of what this is saying… UGH I HATE THIS
But he continued to read. It kept him from thinking. Thinking about her. Her words. Her hands. The way his body felt after. The way his body feels now.
Then the door swung open and Lloyd walked in. He froze there for a second, just standing there.
what is he doing
Just when Morro was about to ask, Lloyd locked eyes with him and walked over to his bed. He just sat down on the edge. Saying nothing.
what is he doing
———————————————————————-
Lloyd
please just say something
For once Lloyd didn't want to be the one to ask. To force it out of Morro. For once he wanted Morro to come to him. To trust him.
please

Morro
He doesn't know why he does it, but he gets up and sits next to Lloyd. Their shoulders touching. They both sit there in silence.
Morro doesn't know when but eventually he puts his head on Lloyd’s shoulder. Silent tears running down his face. Glancing up he sees tears running down Lloyd's face too.
They both sit there in total silence for a while until one of them finally breaks it. Morro isn't really sure who said it but in the silence he heard
“im scared”

Lloyd
“Im scared”
…
“Me too”
They sat like that for a while longer. Neither of them sure how much time had passed
