Coricopat came awake to the sounds of someone moving around in the kitchen. He glanced at the clock, relaxing slightly as he remembered exactly why he was at the house. He rose, pulling on a dressing gown, and slipped out of his room. He paused for a moment when he reached the kitchen before clearing his throat quietly--unsure of whether the other cat had heard him get up.

Mistoffelees glanced over at the sound of the cleared throat. "Oh, hey," he said quietly, ear flickering and heading downward. "Oh god, I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"

Cori shook his head slightly. "Not really." He studied the younger cat. "Are you alright?"

"I..." Misto started and shook his head, glancing away. "Nightmares. Want any tea?"

"I...tea would be nice, thank you." He came the rest of the way into the kitchen, leaning against the counter.

Misto was leaning hard against the counter as well, as much to deal with the fact that he still hurt as that he was shaking. "Alright, great," he said softly, looking at the ground in front of his feet.

Cori hesitated for a long moment, starting to reach out to the other and pausing. He swallowed and finally lay a paw on Mistoffelees' arm.

The smaller tom swallowed hard before turning to look up at Coricopat. "I... I'll be alright." He swallowed again. "I, really."

Cori's ears flickered at that, concern in his grey eyes. "Are you sure?"

"No," Misto replied honestly. "But I'm very hopeful that if I keep saying that to myself eventually I'm going to start believing it."

Cori nodded slightly, part of him wanting to take the other in his arms and tell him it would be alright, and the other part seriously reminding him of exactly how much a lie that was and how much discomfort that action would require.

His eyes dropped before coming back up to look at the other's grey eyes. "I... thank you," he said finally, a paw hesitantly coming up and resting over Coricopat's on his arm.

Cori's gaze dropped to their paws and he swallowed slightly. "For?"

Mistoffelees swallowed again, drawing his paw back. He just couldn't quite deal with the way the other twitched every time he touched him this late--or early as the case was. "Everything," he replied. "Trying so hard to comfort me at ungodly hours being the main thing currently."

Cori's lips twitched upwards just briefly. He hesitated for another long moment before gently drawing Mistoffelees into his embrace. "Of course."
