Dark Days part 3
“Drink I reckon…Disgusting…With a kid and all…” A swirl of voices greeted him as Nino started to come to and he fought back a natural groan his eyes opening as he heard Auron’s now familiar cries and the feel of his little hands pushing at him as he called out;
“Daddy...Daddy…Waked up!” He pulled his eyes open and blinked rapidly trying to refocus to the shift in light. He focused his attention on his son instead of the dozens of people that were around him. His head was sore and aching from the fall that had happened and he could only hope that he hadn’t fallen on his son and hurt him. He pulled himself into a seated position and his son flung himself against his chest his little hands bashing against him for a minute before they wrapped around his neck. A rush of words came out of his mouth and Nino struggled to understand them while a woman, who he assumed worked in the shop given that she was wearing the red t-shirt and apron knelt beside him.
“How are you feeling? Have some water…” She said handing him a bottle of ice cold water that had been taken down from one of the shelves. “When you’re ready we can go into my office and call somebody…”
“Um…Right…I’m…I’m sorry for the trouble…” He mumbled cradling his son with one hand and drinking from the water with the other. The crowd started to disperse, mostly thanks to the glare the shop manager gave them, and he allowed himself to relax. He breathed gently and hugged his son close knowing that the only thing he could do was call his husband and have him come and pick them up. There was no way that he was going to risk driving home even if his panic attack had faded again. “I’m not a drunk...”
“I know…My brother has panic attacks…Though I don’t think I’ve seen one as severe as that…” The woman, whose tag said her name was Mary, smiled at him warmly and rested a hand on his shoulder. “Come on…Let’s get you to the office…”
“Thank-you…” Nino whispered again allowing her to help him to his feet. Auron was clinging to him like a limpet and he knew there was no chance that he would be able to let him go for a while yet. Shoppers stared at them as they walked through the store but Nino kept his eyes focused only on the floor and where he was putting his feet.
Eventually he made it into the office and he was finally allowed to relax without the feel of people staring and judging him. He was motioned to a chair and he sagged into it gratefully surprised to find that Auron had cried himself to sleep and he carefully manipulated him into a cradled position with his head lolling against his chest. His hand had come up and his fingers were tangled into his hair.
“He’s a beautiful baby…” Mary told him with a smile dropping down into the chair next to him and Nino smiled more genuinely than he had down in a while stroking his son with just his fingertips.
“He looks like his other dad…Um…I should call him and get him to pick us up…” He breathed hoping that his lover wouldn’t over react.

A/N: I hope that this is okay ^_^
