@thekingsshield Athos continues to sleep soundly on the couch, only waking when he hears his phone buzzing on the coffee table. There's a message from Aramis, asking how they're doing and he sends a quick reply to let him know they're alright before getting up to look for d'Artagnan.
@thekingsshield "Yeah," he nods and kisses his cheek before settling in. "I love you." Athos can't believe how stressful the last few days have been. Hopefully things will be easier now.
@thekingsshield Athos nods, willing to admit that he's exhausted. He shifts them both to lay down on the couch with d'Artagnan on top of him. Hopefully it will help them both calm down.
@thekingsshield Athos nods and leans back a little to gently brush d'Artagnan's hair away from his face. "Are you okay?" He asks softly. He'd barely recovered before Athos had dragged him back here...
@thekingsshield Athos continues to hold onto him tightly. His words make sense and he feels stupid for panicking like he did, for scaring d'Artagnan, too. "I'm sorry. I should never have suggested it "
@thekingsshield Fuck. He can see the uneasiness on his face, the way he goes pale at the memory. Athos pulls him firmly into his arms and kisses his forehead.
Despite that, however, he's relieved that d'Artagnan remembers. It must have been the drugs they had him on back then. That's all. --
@thekingsshield Athos bites his lip, trying to keep himself together. If he's forgetting things... Fuck- he can't lose him like this.
Reaching for d'Artagnan's hand, he leads him to sit on the couch, not sure how this conversation is going to go. "Do you- Do you remember --
@thekingsshield "You're forgetting things!" Athos tells him now that they're alone. He tries to reach for his phone, knowing that d'Artagnan needs to see a doctor as soon as he can to reassess his injury
@thekingsshield "No-" Athos shakes his head but keeps hold of d'Artagnan's hand and starts to lead him back. "No, you're not okay. I- We need to call Aramis as soon as we get back."
@thekingsshield Athos just stares at him for a moment. "You... don't remember-"
Shit. That's even worse.
Pulling himself together, he started to hurriedly gather their things. "Come on. We- We need to get you back to the hotel."
@thekingsshield Athos just shakes his head and pulls d'Artagnan into his arms, relieved that it's over. "I'm so sorry," he says quietly as he holds him. "It was stupid. We should have stayed at the hotel. I should've known better. Fuck, I'm sorry..."
@thekingsshield Athos wraps a towel around d'Artagnan's shoulders, murmuring apologies over and over. He should have trusted his gut and kept them at the hotel. He's supposed to keep d'Artagnan safe-
He sits there with him, resting his chin on his knees as he continues to quietly apologize
@thekingsshield "Shit-"
Athos kneels down in front of d'Artagnan, trying to shield him from any onlookers. "Shit- I knew this was a bad idea. Fuck, I'm sorry. What can I do?"
@thekingsshield Athos nods, trying to keep his expression neutral as he hurries d'Artagnan out of the water. "You okay?" He asks once they return to their spot on the beach. Fuck, this was a bad idea.
