( Basil is pulled into Kel's arms -- and it feels like he's once against surrounded by warm comfort. Basil's so small in comparison that all he wants to do is close his eyes and let himself accept his kindness. At the same time, he wants to run away and curl up into himself.
He closes his eyes then, a pained whimper escaping him.
It was. It was his fault. Nothing can change that. And if Kel knew the truth, he'd hate him too. )
I...
I... I want to believe you Kel. I... I do... ( But the truth is that he's a coward. He doesn't know how to dig himself out of this hole, and he doesn't have the strength to do it alone. )
