[ Reign was shocked, sure, but he had also come to terms that Shell was different from him, even if they were both Abnormal. Perhaps he had always known at the back of his mind. He'd seen how easy Shell was when with One, how open he had become, and even though seeing this part of Shell should have made Reign mortified, he found himself unable to.
He feared that perhaps their time apart would draw him further and further away from Shell, and that was a scary thought. What if Shell rejected him because he'd changed so much? It was like seeing a whole new side to Shell all over again.
Reign gritted his teeth, his heart squeezing at the sight of Shell's tears. He didn't want to see Shell cry again, but he had a feeling that it would take some time. He wrapped his arms around Shell's shoulders, gently squeezing and letting him know that he was here for Shell. ]
It's okay to cry. You don't always have to hold it all in. Let's head to my place so you can rest. [ He pulled back with a small smile, one hand moving down to lace with Shell's. ] Let's go home.
[ Certainly their home world was destroyed, but Reign hoped his place would be sufficient for Shell. After all, home is where the heart is. ]
