You won't hurt us, Asch.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I hurt you earlier... When I was going to hurt myself...

[fononfailure]

It made me sad that you felt that way. But you didn't hurt yourself, so it's alright.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I still need to, though... I feel like it still.

[fononfailure]

We won't let you, Asch.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...That doesn't make it better...

[fononfailure]

It's okay. We'll work on that.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

But I need it now...

[fononfailure]

No, you don't need to.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...But I need something... There isn't anything...

[fononfailure]

What do you mean..?

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...There's nothing... I'm empty... I need to, then it hurts and there's something again...

[fononfailure]

If you were empty, Asch, you wouldn't worry about hurting us.

...But I don't care... I don't want to, but that's only because I'll care later...

[scionofhispower]

...

Luke. Give him to me.

[fononfailure]

... *nods, carefully handing him over.*

[looks up at Asch in confusion]

[scionofhispower]

[holds Asch close] This, too, will pass. I promise you that. But if you hurt yourself now, it's going to stay for longer than it should. So... instead, let us help you. You told me, once, that you want a nice family. And I'm here, offering that to you, and for as long as I need to, I'll continue offering it to you. Because I care, and because I want you to be happy.

...I want to be your family... But that's the only thing that works... I-I need to, please?

[scionofhispower]

I can't let you hurt yourself. So... let's find a different way, alright?

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I'm too scared to...

[scionofhispower]

It's alright to be scared, Asch. New things are always a little scary, even for me. But... you have both of us here to help you; no matter what happens, Luke and I are both here. So even if it gets scary, you can come to us, and we'll make sure nothing bad happens.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Okay...

...I still feel like I need to... My lip wasn't enough...

[scionofhispower]

[rocks him lightly] It'll pass. I promise you that it will. Until it does, I'll hold you, alright?
