Reno held the person he loved as tightly as he could while they cried into his shoulder. He rubbed his back soothingly when he felt a new wave of tears wrecked his lovers body again.
"Shhh...Its ok. I'm here. I won't let anything harm you anymore." While saying this, he was observing the chaotic surrounding. Firefighters were rushing around while Policemen kept civilians at bay. His gaze fell on one man in particular who was being dragged away in cuffs. The man's eyes met Reno's in a hateful glare which Reno returned with even more hatred. Once the man was placed in the Police car, Reno focused on his crying lover.
"He's gone now. He won't hurt you. Your free..." The younger man tried to stop his crying as he looked to Reno with hopeful eyes.
"You're free, Axel." He kept murmuring while cradling the man into his arms.
