-Elliot-

*Elliot sighed, realizing that the other man wasn't going to speak. He gently lifted 007n7's head up and looked at his wounds. He looked at him for a few moments, before speaking again* Look, I don't like you, but I can't let you die. Not like this.

*Elliot couldn't help but frown at the sight of the older man. He couldn't deny that he was still angry, but he couldn't let that anger consume him. He was here to survive, and he had to make sure that everyone else did too. He glanced at 007n7, who was staring off into the distance. He let out a small sigh, then approached him.*

Shedletsky: I guess I'm just built different.

*Elliot laughs, and playfully shoves him* Yeah, you definitely are. You're a lot more relaxed than I am.

Shedletsky: you okay?

*Elliot jumps slightly, and looks up at him* Oh, uh...yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking.

Shedletsky: about what?

*Elliot's expression softened. He didn't expect him to be so apologetic. He had always thought that 007n7 was just a troublemaker, but maybe he wasn't. Maybe he had been just a kid who didn't know any better. He took a deep breath, and tried to keep his voice gentle.* "It's alright. I forgive you."

*Elliot noticed his reaction, and his concern grew. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his head. He decided to try a different approach, and asked a different question.* "Do you...remember what happened at my work place?"

*Elliot laughs softly, and pulls Chance's hands away from his face. He smiles at Chance, and his heart flutters as he sees how red Chance's face is. He whispers again* No, I don't think I will. You're just too cute. *He leans in closer, and his voice is a whisper* I just want to kiss you.

Chance: I'm just showing you affection. is that a crime?

*He starts to feel like he's going to have a mental breakdown. He can't take it anymore, and he screams at the top of his lungs* MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE, JUST MAKE IT STOP!
