I got very little done last week because I don’t have high speed internet at home so I can’t stream so while house sitting for my brother I spent all day watching as many shows as I could stuff in. (Also he has a pool)
Picking back up with Aneirin and Kaleo in the shuttle. Kaleo says he wants to die rather than be returned to the Toy House if Aneirin won’t accept him as a gift.
“Then you better hope you like your new rooms because I’m not giving you back. It obviously terrifies you and I mean to know why. You’re mine for now, at least until I find out what the best path is.” Aneirin watched as a few tears snuck past the young man’s defenses only to be scrubbed away hard after Kaleo let go of his death grip on Aneirin’s arm. “It’s still a ways back to my quarter of the colony. Why don’t you shut your eyes and get a quick nap, Kaleo. I promise you, there’s just me here, and I’m not going to hurt you.”
“Thank you,” he whispered then almost inaudibly tacked on ‘doctor’. He leaned against Aneirin’s shoulder
Aww…(heart)

Wonderful snippet to show the very beginnings of trust. I’m really enjoying the dynamic of their relationship.

Aww, yes! Safe. Although, I get the feeling it’s a “for now” reprieve.
