wow i see how it is, yuul...........

[inutilis]

[ Dokja sounds a bit strangled; maybe both of them are. it's incredibly hard to tell where one of them ends and the other begins, isn't it--? Abel's usually better at trying to keep things tucked away and separated, even from his fellow Martyrs - but considering the circumstances... perhaps he can be forgiven, just this once.

Abel squeezes just a little bit harder to feel things reciprocated - however clumsily, before...

...

he sniffles, and begins burrowing his nose against Dokja's shoulder, hunching his own as they tremble with the start of ~dramatic tears.~ ]

D... Dokjaaaaaa... I-- I mi-missed you, we missed youuu-- Himeka, c-come get him, come get him!!

[ yeah

yeah

it's time to make this a HUG SANDWICH and SNOTTILY CRY all OVER HIM!!!!! ]

hehehe...

[salvageable]

[ OH NO... He thought he had safely dodged the waterworks!! Dokja can already feel the seep of tears through clothing and maybe in normal occasions this would be reason to try and pry Abel off of him, but...

He sighs. It's quiet, but fond and a little too accepting of his current situation. He'll make an exception just this once... And it's not because his own throat feels tight or there's an odd sting to the corners of his eyes. Definitely not that at all.

But when Himeka's called over, Dokja's really starting to get flustered from the attention. He's used to children crying over him, but everyone else tends to punch him in the arm and yell at him? He kind of wants that over this display of feelings?? HE'S BAD AT FEELINGS STOP DOING THIS TO HIM??? ]

N-no, that's okay. You don't have to do that, Himeka.

[ Okay, now he's grabbing Abel's shoulders to try and push him off!! ]

Come on, Abel. That's enough now.

ATTACK

[aquaveiled]

[ She really didn't want to ruin the moment, even if Dokja is clearly making an effort to look pained and taxed by Abel's display of affection. But if she's invited? That's a different story. ]

...Oh!

[ In that case, don't mind if she does.

Himeka pushes herself more gingerly off of the cot, but there's little grace to her actions as she takes the few steps over to meet them and hugs both Dokja and Abel from the other side, creating a very Dokjammed sandwich. (It's very easy because she's so tall, too.) Her tail wags behind her not unlike a dog that's happy to just be there. ]

SUFFER

[inutilis]

[ ah, this really is perfect. there is nothing quite as medicinal nor healing as a good, well-placed hug, is there? especially when it comes with a disgusting side of dramatics and a heaping helping of snotty tears to boot; Abel has to admit, learning to gross-sob on command has become one of his most prized and well-treasured skills among his repertoire.

that Himeka joins him instantly and without hesitation just furthers the outright revolting amount of delight in his chest, momentarily eclipsing everything else. these are two of his favorite people in Horos, and joking aside - it truly does mean more than seems reasonable, little moments like this one after everything.

so it is with complete and utter shamelessness that Abel winds his arms all the more firmly around both of them, burying his face between them and, without restraint, wails like a five year old who had gotten lost at the mall finally reuniting with his parents. ]

coughs blood

[salvageable]

[ This is too much, especially now that Himeka has joined in. 😵‍💫 Physical contact and comfort are way beyond what he's normally used to, so being accosted like this is stressing him out!!

... Maybe a small part of him can admit it feels nice to be held by people dear to him, but he will never say that part out loud. He's become such a professional at repressing his more vulnerable feelings so why would that change now? Huh? Huh?? Shit, his heart is softening at how touching this reunion is and he needs to put a stop to it immediately.

Stuck between Himeka and Abel, he really has no choice but to shrink in on himself as the wailing starts. As if the tears and snot weren't bad enough? Now his ears have to go too? Dokja desperately turns his eyes to Himeka and they are begging... pleading that she do something about this. ]
