[This is painful, for having wanted this to be a nice time all it's been has been a lot of pain for Nyx and while squall loves how open he is being he also doesn't want to cause him any more pain. He runs his hands through Nyx's hair, kissing his cheek in a way to get him to calm down.]
Shh...shhh it's okay. We are okay Nyx. Just be with me right now, you don't have to say anything okay? [One of his hands drifts to Nyx's lower back and rubs him tenderly there.]
Take a few deep breaths and let it out okay? We have time to talk later when you are more okay. I really appreciate what you've said already to me.
[It is painful, yes. But the pain has been there this entire time, no matter how hard Nyx has tried to bury it, to not think about it. He's never felt safe enough to let himself really feel it, process it. He lost so much in so short a time how could he even begin to unpack that when they were here in another world where no one knew what they were up against or how safe they really were?
He curls in against Squall, arms wrapping tight around him in return. Eventually, later, maybe hours later, they'll have time to talk about it. Maybe Nyx can finally acknowledge how deep that betrayal cut. All of which means acknowledging that, whatever else is happening here, even if it is a simulation, here in Squall's arms... he is safe.]
