BECAUSE WE GIVE NEGATIVE SHITS AND LOVE SUBWAYS

[tsuntrader]

IT'S PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY MAN

SILVER'S EXISTENCE CREATES INTERESTING PROBLEMS

SUBWAY DEPOT AGENTS ARE ALL PRECIOUS BABBIES

HILDA IS CRAZY

EMMET IS SAD

INGO IS DATING ELESA?!?!?!

AND SOMEHOW WE WILL ALL WORK IT OUT LIKE A COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL SUBWAY FAMILY

BECAUSE WE CAN

AND ENTER HILBERT

Well, I don't mind... [BUT IT'LL BE SOMETHING TO GET USED TO FOR SURE. his parents' affections were quiet, so this will be a fairly new experience...

BUT HE LOOKS EMBARRASSED ALREADY, CRAP THIS IS GONNA BE HARD]

[infinitegrin]

[Good, good! He cuddles Hilbert close, squeezing but surprisingly gentle.]

For now, this is a good start! Just being here with you makes me happy and it makes me feel calm.

[50shadesofnpc]

[Okay, he can handle hugs. Hugs are nice. Cuddling is A-OK. Plus Galvantula is still on their laps, so he can divert his attention to her if he does get embarrassed.]

I'm glad. [He seems to have the latter effect on a lot of people....] I mean... especially with all the other stuff that's been going on... [Calming him down is especially good, now.]

[infinitegrin]

... I said I'd explain, right? At some point, I'd explain what happened, when we went to that place.

[50shadesofnpc]

[Oh... well, there it is.]

If you're fine with telling me. [Then yes. He would like to know, and if Emmet thinks it's okay to tell him...]

[infinitegrin]

[Blah blah Luceti blah blah wings and barcode tattoo - here look at the scars leftover - blah blah other words blah blah Silver blah blah horrible shit like drafts etc.]

[50shadesofnpc]

[That is a lot of bitterness and old wounds.... literally, too, with those awful scars. Hilbert doesn't really know what to say; it's a lot to take in. Ridiculous as it is, though, it must be true-- after all, Silver did come out of nowhere and those scars has to come from something.]

...

[He can't really say anything that Emmet doesn't already know-- they're home, at least-- but he looks pretty sad, for Emmet. Here, just... let Hilbert lean forward and hug him once more.]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet's managed to get his shirt back on, at least - oh hugs. Yeah, he can take hugs. He'll hug Hilbert close.]

It's okay. We survived... we made it back here, with only these little scars and nothing serious. And we have Silver, now... as horrible as it was, you don't have to be sad for us. We're so happy...

[50shadesofnpc]

[Yeah, that's true. He'll nod into Emmet's shoulder-- they're back in one piece, at least.

Still, it's only natural to be sad.....]

I hope... you don't have to go through something like that again. [Emmet doesn't deserve it.]

[infinitegrin]

If I have you... and Ingo... and Silver... I can make it through anything. I'm unstoppable.

[50shadesofnpc]

... Yeah... [He curls his fingers into Emmet's shirt. If that's how Emmet thought, then...] I'll be here for you.

[To be considered someone important to him... Hilbert will have to live up to that, to make it worthwhile.]

[infinitegrin]

That reassures me, in a way you might never know. Just knowing that makes me happy.

[It makes him feel safe, and calm. It makes him feel like any emotional upset he'll ever have will be calmed down, any worries eased and smoothed out even if the problem wasn't solved.

If something happened to Ingo...




...Between Hilbert and Silver, Emmet really could survive something like that.]
