Syx hadnāt slept the entire time heād been behind bars, he just couldnāt. The dreams always haunted him. The solitary made him feel half mad. More than half mad really. Heād pulled a stupid stunt to get out. Ā More foolish than he should, but it worked. Anna and Minion would be eager to see him. So would Wayne. Yet he found himself outside of the towering building that Harrison lived in. The bags under his eyes were deep, a five-o-clock shadow on his jaw, his clothing too big and stolen. Heād used a brain bot to fly up to the roof of a nearby building. He didnāt even know what his plan was. He was just tired and wanted the thoughts to go away.
Syx raised his arms and helped slip into the silky top. Running his fingers over the fabric he conceded,Ā āIt is very nice, feels a lot like my cape material only much less durable,ā though he supposed durability wasnāt something often considered when making pajamas.Ā
He stepped into Harrisonās arms, wrapping his own around the other blue man. Harrison smelled good in a way he felt heād never find words for. He could get lost in it. It was better than thinking. He was sick of his own head.
Harrison was just about to reach for those top two buttons to button them again, when Syx wraps him into another fierce hug. Ā It takes him by surprise, but after a beat, he responds by wrapping his own arms around the other blue man. Ā This is starting to become worrisome. Ā They all have a tendency towards the isolated, maudlin, and melodramatic at times, but this seems like more than just a needy mood swing. Ā
āSyx, what is wrong?ā Harrison asked, nudging the side of the other manās head gently with his own. Ā Heās genuinely baffled. Ā
Right… he cursed himself, it would go both ways, wouldnāt it? If he could sense Harrison then Harrison could sense him. He wasnāt used to that idea. He pulled away, embarrassedĀ by his actions, he tried to shrug it off. He found himself talking instead.Ā
āHave you ever been in solitary before? Itās considered cruel and unusualĀ torture when used for extended periods of time. But no one cares when youāre a super villain. Besides it fine, I have a tv. That makes it ok,ā he laughed bitterly, āI donāt get yard time. I donāt eat with my uncles. I donāt get to be in the same room as real people unless I’mĀ being strapped down to a chair to get carted around,ā Ā he rubbed his arms and looked away,Ā āNormally I psycheĀ myself up for it before Wayne takes me in… but I wasnāt prepared for this visit.ā
