[when nero does get around and open avante's front door, raven is standing there in his regular clothes, not pajamas, looking weary with his eyes a little red-rimmed around the edges but he's hoping that's not noticeable in the dark]

[gigadevilbreaker]

Red Bull gives you wings: Ok but we can't go in my room!!!

[HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO ZRAEL ok nevermind Nero has to bolt out of his room, all frumpy sleepwear and... still a girl. Oops.

Opens the door, looking sloppy and maybe a liiittle red in the face.]

[lets out a breath, then pulls him into a hug. his words are muffled, kind of rambling]

I told myself it was preferable if you hated me, over ignoring me... but even thinking that is too much for me to bear. If you've decided you won't discard me, and you won't resent me... then promise me. Please. I know I'm greedy and selfish and if you give me an inch I will take a mile, mercilessly, but... I... I just need you to promise me. I just need this.

Re: Day 256, around 2am

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Ah... Nero relaxes into the hug, and his arms tighten around Raven.]

I promise. I'm not going to throw you away. No matter what.

Even if you are so, so dumb.

I'm not dumb. I'm... scared.
