Blaine likes how warm Don E is after cuddling with Candy under her heated blanket. It feels...nice, but he won't admit it. When Don E pulls away, Blaine is yearning for his touch again. Maybe it's just the depressed teen boy brain he ate, but he doesn't want Don Eto leave him right now. However, the guy leaves on a supply run for the Scratching Post, and Blaine is left alone in his office. He removes a blade he leaves in his desk drawers and rolls up his sleeve. He hasn't done this since he was young...
He drags the blade across his wrist and winces. He does this until he hears a voice calling out to him. Don E is crouched in front of him with the blade now in his possession; there's blood everywhere. "Hey, Blaine, can you hear me, man?" Don E asks, still crouched on the floor in front of Blaine. The white-haired male doesn't say anything; he closes his overwhelming feeling of sadness is taking over every inch of his brain.
"Blaine. Are you okay?"...
"This brain."
"What?" Don E asks, rummaging around for the first aid kid. He finds it and brings it back to the desk to fix up Blaine's arm. While doing that, Blaine keeps talking. "The brain is making me feel everything again... I hate feeling like this..." He sounds like a scared little child right now. Blaine is strong, arrogant, and confident. He doesn't act like this. Don E knows something is seriously wrong. If he doesn't fix it soon, something even worse than what he walked in on Blaine doing will happen.
Don E stitches up his arm and puts the bandages on. He puts the first aid kit away and leads Blaine to his car. They're closing up for the night anyway. Don E drives them to Blaine's apartment and parks the car. He takes him inside and up to his apartment door, unlocks it, and guides Blaine. The other man seems disengaged and quiet. Don E takes Blaine to his bed and lays him down. When he gets up off the bed, he can feel something holding him back. Blaine looks up at him with tears in his eyes. "Please don't go," he whispers as a tear escapes his eye. Don E can feel his heart beating faster; he's always liked Blaine, and that's part of the reason why he joined in on working with him in the first place.
Don E takes off his shoes and gets under the covers with Blaine. He gently touches the other on the back. Blaine rubs his face into his shoulder and hugs him tightly. The man is shaking, and Don E isn't about to leave him.
