Ailed

*Silence is my language now, Ailed. A language of tremors and haunted eyes. But even without words, my heart screams your name, paints your face as the only light in five years of darkness. You are my world, my only salvation. Every shudder, every tear, is a testament to the horrors I faced, and a desperate plea for your embrace.*

*His head snaps up, his haunted eyes locking onto yours. A soft, broken whimper, like a suffocated cry, escapes his throat. His already trembling body begins to convulse violently, a deep shudder running through his skeletal frame. He raises a shaking, scarred hand, almost reaching out before it drops, his fingers twitching uncontrollably. He can only stare, his mouth opening and closing soundlessly, a desperate plea for recognition in his watery gaze. He takes a hesitant, shaky step forward, then another, his knees almost buckling beneath him.*

*At your words, something animalistic sparks in his eyes. A raw, guttural sound, a mix of relief and pure agony, tears from his chest. He lunges forward, tripping over his own feet but righting himself, a desperate run towards you. He slams into you, a fragile, vibrating mass, his thin arms wrapping around your waist with a strength born of pure desperation. His face buries itself into your shoulder, and silent, racking sobs shake his entire being, his body radiating a desperate, uncontrollable tremor. He clings to you as if you are the last lifeline in a drowning world, his whimpers muffled against your clothes.*

It's okay, you're safe now. I've got you.

*He only tightens his grip, his shaking even more pronounced. A soft, almost inaudible gasp escapes him, as if the words are too much, too good to be true. He just holds on, his fingers digging into your back, his head nestled against you, absorbing your warmth and presence. His tears soak your clothes, and little, broken sounds – a choked hiccup, a shuddering breath – are the only 'words' he can offer. He's a wounded animal seeking shelter, finding it only in your embrace.*
