It was past midnight and victor had just retired when a small pestering thought came to Igor, his chest tightened and his breath became hard the whiskey from earlier suddenly was sitting wrong in his flopping stomach his throat began to burn "They wanted me dead" He fell to the floor infront of the fire place thoughts turning dark every breath he took was harder than the next until his lungs ached with misuse.
"breath Igor" a voice said softly, hands suddenly on his chest and a weight settling at his back warm whiskey ladden breath in his hair brought him back to the present and a tiny childlike whimper escaped parted lips as he sucked in a much needed breath "It's alright I have you"
"Vi-Victor" Igor whispered his voice breaking Igor quickly turned around buring himself in the mans neck and chest he gripped tightly at his back, breathing in the soothing scent of his savior, his best friend, his best friend who quickly returned the embrace kissing the top of his head and rubbing his back a hand settling on the back of his neck softly petting his hair "Tell me what troubles you Igor" the warm voice commanded "The circus was suppose to be my family, yet they tried to kill me, they hit me and hunted me, they wanted me dead" a broken breath that sounded much to close to a sob "They hated me" The hand on his neck tightened protectively and the lips brushed his head once again "Hush" a second passed "Igor I am your family now and I will never hit you, I will never ever hurt you" Victor pulled back some so he could see Igor's face he gently gripped his chin forcing their eyes to meet "I love you Igor and that is all you will ever need, as long as I am here you won't need any more family, I will be here to protect you"
Igor sobbed harshly nodding his head eyes staying on the green ones infront of him even when he shook with cries "Thank you master" Victor leaned foreward catching Igors lips in a quick kiss when he pulled back Igor had stopped crying eyes wide, Victor opened his mouth to aplogize only to have Igor push foreward knocking them both over onto the floor he gently kissed Victors chest where he had landed then let his head fall Victor looked down at the smaller man laying ontop of him a soft smile pulling at his lips "come Igor lets go to bed" he nodded and quickly stood not looking at Victor until the older man grabbed his hand and carefully tugged "Are you going to join me?"
Igor looked up eyes big and teary even as hope entered them "Dont be dull Igor, of course i wouldn't dismiss you so quickly" "Victor thank you"
"Hush now my dear let's be going"
Victor gently pulled Igor into his room and onto the bed, Igor looked unsure up at him "Just sleep for tonight" he kissed the younger mans forehead and pulled him into his arms .
