[OPEN] Stardust

Devon scampered back as the door was closed, stumbling and stepping backwards. He glanced at Deacon, then Zander. When Blake moved, he eyed her hand and swallowed, ducking away. He ran towards the others, standing behind Zander warily, a hand on his shoulder as he peeked out at Deacon and Blake, breaths shallow with panic.

Dylan swallowed. "Devon calm down..." He approached from behind, resting a firm hand on his shoulder so he couldn't run. Devon squirmed, staring at him. "Don't touch me!" He screeched, whimpering and struggling as Dylan held him close. "Devon... Devon stop, okay? It's omay, let him take you, they'll take good care of you okay?" He stroked his hair, but Devon only growled, baring his teeth. "No," He sobbed.

Zander turned around, biting his lip. "Please, Devon.. They're just gonna help you.. You said you don't wanna hurt anyone else.. They can help you. You won't hurt anyone anymore.." He said, running his hands uncomfortably up and down his legs. It was obvious they hurt him.

Mat got a shiver up his spine again, and turned to see Blake right there. "Fuck that." He said, jumping over the bench. He walked outside, shaking his head. Zander just watched him with a raised eyebrow, glad Dylan had a hold on Devon.

"Please, baby?" He pleaded, scratching his nosering. But his broken nose hurt badly, and he winced instead.

Devon swallowed, finally stopped squirming in Dylan's arms. "Come on Dev.." Dylan watched Mat leave. "Zander needs to sit down, he needs rest, and you gotta go with them so we can leave okay?"

"I want Zander," Devon sobbed and Dylan sighed.
"In a little bit. Go with them and I'll drop him off in a little bit okay? Please...you're gonna get hurt if you don't go..."

Devon pulled away, again wrapping his arms around himself and staring at the floor. He didn't run this time though.
"I'll bring you what I'm allowed, 'kay Dev?"

Devon didn't bother respond, apathetic eyes briefly flicking towards him.

Zander wrapped his arms around him in a tight hug, then tipped his chin back to kiss the corner of his mouth. "Promise.. We'll be up there in just a little while. As soon as they let us back, okay? Just let them help you. Please." He stroked his hair gently, chewing on his lip again. He glanced around and realized Deacon had somehow managed to escape unnoticed. But he was Death. He could do that.

"It's okay.." He breathed, ignoring the pounding in his head. He cupped Devon's cheek gently, tracing his thumb over his cheek.

Devon swallowed, hugging him close. "Okay.." He whispered dejectedly, slinking towards Blake again. He gazed back down at the floor quietly, wiping an arm over his eyes, nails digging back against his arms once more.

Dylan rested a supportive hand on Zander's back a moment. "You want me to drive..?" He offered, hesitant about talking to the guy. "I need ti grab some of Dev's things for him."

Blake smiled at him, reaching out to pat his back gently. "Just follow me, okay?" She said, and lead him out of the court room and to her car. She opened the door for him, then got in herself, and started towards the hospital.

Zander shook his head. "I can drive. Thanks." He mumbled, walking out of the courtroom. He was back to his normal apathetic self by the time they passed Mat. Mat reached out, taking Dylan's hand into his.

"We still have a few hours before we get to go see him. It's only like, ten." Mat said, looking up at a clock. He laid his head on Dylan's shoulder, chewing on his lip ring.

"No," Devon hissed when she touched him, following her to the car and getting in. He stared into his lap, tracing his fingers over the scarred letters in his arms as she drove. He spotted a dog toy by hisfoot and drew his legs up, glaring at it before picking it up curiously, used to much smaller dog toys around the house.

Dylan took his hand, hugging him close. "Yeah...you okay..?" He murmured, kissing his cheek, then finding his lips tenderly.

Blake looked up at him from the mirror and smiled. "You like dogs?" She asked, then looked back at the road. She shifted her weight in the seat, glancing back up at him occasionally.

The kiss was enough to make Mat stop dead in his tracks. He whimpered, reaching up to cup his cheek. He finally pulled away after a moment, realizing the two of them were in the middle of the floor. "Yeah. Perfect. Why?" He asked with a smile, squeezing his hand gently. He kissed him again gently before he started walking again.

Devon nodded, setting it back down and hugging his knees close. He slumped down, reaching to play with one of his gauges before resting his chin on his knees and closing his eyes, gentle tears rolling down his cheeks.

Dylan shrugged, following him back to the car. He reached into his pocket as he climbed in, pulling a folded paper out with two painkillers. They were supposed to be for his own injury, but he figured he deserved the pain far more than Zander, tapped his shoulder and handed them to him. "It's just tylenol or something," He murmured. "From last night. You look like you need it." He bit his lip guiltily, hugging Mat closer.

Blake pulled up at the hospital, and got out, opening the door for him. But she didn't dare touch him, too afraid he might start flailing and hit her. She waited for him to get out before she lead him around to another wing of the hospital and held the door open for him.

Zander just shook his head, putting his keys in the ignition. "I can't take pain killers. They put me to sleep." He said, and backed out of his parking space. He usually took them before bed, hoping it would put him to sleep. But his nightmares usually woke him up. Mat curled close, running his hand up and down Dylan's chest.
