his face. I don’t know what he was so happy about, he had been starved, beaten to shit, and just straight-out tortured by Lycos and Greyson. Maybe it was because the blond kid was near him again; Elish had told me he was quite enamored with him.
“Okay, come here, sweety. Come look.” I saw a pull on Killian’s mouth at Perish calling him sweety, but perhaps that was just his thing. Either way, Killian shuffled on his mousy feet over to Perish as the scientist took Reaver into one of our spare bedrooms.
I walked in after the two, to see the dark chimera laying in all his glory on top of a brown comforter. There were faint wisps of steam rising up from his body like smoke; his corpse still adjusting to this new warm environment.
I heard a choke and watched Killian’s pale face blanch further. He raised a trembling hand and put it on his boyfriend’s cheek before I saw the first signs of him starting to break down.
I thought it was rather pathetic, Reaver was going to come back, but I knew this kid had been through a lot. I had been in this mentally fragile state many times with Elish, and I would’ve loved to have someone who understood what I was going through.
Anyways, Elish would want me to make nice.
I walked over to where Reaver’s head was and cringed at the large gaping hole in his throat. I could see a hint of white from what I believed was his spine, and more shredded tendons than I could count.
I leaned down and went to pull his shirt down but I heard Killian’s heart speed up as I did. I don’t think Killian wanted me touching him.
“He doesn’t have any other injuries...” Killian sniffed. His blue eyes were already glassy with unshed tears. “The deacon just got his throat.”
And Elish shot the deacon after he did that; then he picked up Reaver and threw him into the plane, all of this under the thick cloak of dust and gunfire. It had been my job to grab Killian but Elish had to help me with that. The kid shrieked and squirmed more than a piglet.
Perish rolled back and forth on his heels. “Well, from what I’ve seen, Killian, Reaver will be back in four days, maybe less I am not sure. Each immortal chimera heals at different rates. Silas is a bit slow, Elish has always been fast, for me, I’m a bit in the middle. Every time Lycos killed me I tried to see how long it had been. Once they cut open my head and that was three days.” The scientist gave Killian a smile, but it faded when he saw the distraught look on Killian’s face.
The boy put the towel that had been wrapped around Reaver’s neck back onto the wound, before kissing his fingers and laying it on his dead boyfriend’s cheek. “I’m sorry, Perish. For what I did to you in Donnely and for what Leo did to you.”
“Reaver said you did it because you felt badly for leaving me. No one has ever cared about how I felt. I should be thanking you for caring about me that much. I care about you too.” Perish looked up shyly before he reached down to the side of the bed and picked something up.
It was a stuffed Pokémon, a charmander to be exact. He handed it to Killian and rolled back and forth on his feet. “You can borrow him until Reaver wakes up.”
Killian took the stuffed animal with a whimper. “Thanks, Perry. I hopefully won’t have to borrow him for long.”
What an odd friendship those two had going on. I wish I’d been a fly on the wall over what had gone on in Donnely. I’d have to get Killian drunk one day and ask him if they fucked. I didn’t think so considering how attached Killian was to Reaver but who knows; they seemed to like being unstable together.
After making sure Reaver was healing and recovering we left Killian alone so he could sleep. I would be sleeping alone tonight, something that I had always hated. Hopefully by tomorrow I would have my master back to curl up beside. Even though he hadn’t been away from me for long, it always seemed like the time just dragged on.
I just hoped that he
