[ ...suppose it's a good thing. a boon, he seemed to have a sixth sense something might happen. sometimes there is this unsettled pit in his stomach - some anxious premonition, and he hates when it's right.
but some things must be broken before they can heal, right? right...?
Dokja might not hear Abel move, preoccupied as he is with an internal battle against himself and his own emotions; there's the faint rustling of clothing as he lifts from the chair, the sink of the mattress as he sits beside his friend, gently extricating the mug from his hands to displace it aside.
and then a warm pair of arms enfold Dokja and gently goad him into a hug, cautious and careful and delicate - because this man is broken. he's fragile, and raw, and vulnerable-- and he deserves to be handled with care, even if he might not believe it himself. Abel believes... no, he knows it's true. he might be broken, might even feel he's shattered into such small pieces that putting himself together again is impossible.
but he doesn't have to. being broken doesn't make something worthless. it's alright if he doesn't understand-- it's alright if he doesn't see it himself. he's not alone, so he doesn't have to. ]
