Decades Between Us

[30] Guilty

Guilt, an emotion that plagued clay in this current moment. George had been having shivers all night, sometimes it sounded like he was crying in his sleep. All clay could do was hush him and reassure with soft words.

Clay ran his hands through georges hair, his hands brushing over his soft face every so often soon georges eyes fluttered open, the bright yellow that overtook the brown was now clear.

"clay" his voice was raspy, he tried to sit up but fell back down
"just keep laying down baby you're exhausted" clay forced a weak smile as he ran his hand over georges shirtless back
"i'm cold" george mumbled against clays chest, clay shifted slightly and took his hoodie off, he lifted george slightly and put the hoodie over him pulling his arms through, george sort of flopped down straight after, he was very clearly exhausted

"you look like shit" he groaned reaching out for clays face
"just tired that's all"
"then go to sleep"
"i cant"
"why"
"i'm too worried"
"oh shut up you idiot and come here"
georges pulled clay down so he was resting on georges chest.

george weakly ran his hand through clays hair, george fought sleep, he wouldn't allow himself to until he knew clay was asleep.

george felt clays body slowly detense, he wrapped his arms tightly around him and kissed the top of his head.

"see that's better" george smiled
"i should be looking after you not the other way around" clay groaned
"i'm fine, just sleep clay"
clay let out a surrendering sigh and nuzzled further into georges chest, george ran his hands over the scars and marks on clays bare skin.

the two eventually fell asleep in each others embrace.

"karl what the hell do we do! if someone finds out he'll get killed" nick threw himself onto the sofa looking up his boyfriend who paced the room
"nick i need to tell you something"
"what's up baby?" his tone shifted from one that was frustrated and scared to one full of consideration and curiosity
"i messed up with time again"
"why would you do that, i thought we agreed-"
"you died nick"
nick let out a nervous laugh
"died? that's not possible i'm right here"
"i appeared out of no where in the forest because i time jumped from the future. after you and george climbed that tree he would fall, you had no choice but to bite him. the union found out and had you executed"
"oh, i suppose you jumping wouldn't do anything too bad"

karl began crying, nick instantly rushed to his aid wrapping his arms around the man "baby, come on don't cry it's okay i'm here" he quickly tried to wipe away karls tears with the back of his hand
"i know i just-" karl paused through sobs "-something really bads coming"
