‘It’s okay,’ Quinn said softly, smiling gently. ‘I was just worried. And I don’t really like making my boyfriend cry.’ He rubbed his back gently, not wanting to hurt him any more than he already had.
-
imsoclueless Senior"It's not your fault," Elliot mumbled, lifting his head up. He exhaled and rubbed his eyes, letting out a shaky laugh. "I- I don't even get why I'm panicking, I mean- You kind of already know about the first half of it..."
-
‘The first half of it? What’s the first half of it?’ Quinn asked, running his hands through Elliot’s hair.
-
imsoclueless Senior"Well, I- I already told you about the injury from Aftershock 12, a-and what the Huntress did to save me from dying," Elliot started, trying to keep his voice from shaking. "That I basically have a r-robotic brain in my head. Which also makes me a cyborg."
-
Quinn watched him for a moment, then turned his gaze down to his hand. He gently cupped one of Elliot's cheeks. ‘So that’s what you meant when you said she can control you,’ he said quietly. ‘I’m so sorry that happened, love.’
-
imsoclueless Senior"It's not your fault," Elliot muttered, holding his hand to his chest. "She- The port she put in, it can literally track me. Thankfully, I had a friend who made me some gloves with a fiber that could block out any sort of location finding devices, or something like that- I'm not much of a techie." He chuckled awkwardly, hoping to lighten the mood.
-
Quinn nodded, gently rubbing the back of Elliot’s hand. ‘So if you took the glove off, she’d be able to find you?’ he asked quietly. ‘And if that’s the port what are all the scars around it?’
-
imsoclueless Senior"Yeah, she'd be able to hunt me down far quicker," Elliot answered, nodding. He cringed, rubbing his hand over the fabric of the glove. "The scars were from me. I uh, may or may not have tried to disable it myself, and ended up f---ing up my hand."
-
‘That’s horrible. I’m so sorry that happened, Elliot,’ Quinn said, arms tightening around him. ‘I’m sorry for trying to take them off, too. That was so stupid.’
-
imsoclueless Senior"It's not your fault, hun. You didn't know, and you wouldn't have known unless I told you," Elliot replied, hugging Quinn close. "I promise I'm not mad, I just- I was scared to tell you..."
-
Quinn exhaled deeply, nodding. He kissed the top of his head. ‘There’s really nothing to be ashamed about, love. I’m technically a cyborg too, remember?’
-
imsoclueless Senior"Yeah, but- I'm literally the Huntress's slave, Quinn." Elliot said with a tired sigh, burying his face in his boyfriend's neck. "I thought, you'd either be too scared to be with me, or too disgusted by that fact..."
-
Quinn sighed, running his fingers through his boyfriend’s hair. ‘You were the Huntress’s slave. As soon as we get your new identity tomorrow you can say goodbye to that life, promise.’
-
imsoclueless SeniorElliot lifted his head, a glimmer of hope on his face. "I sure hope you're right," he said with a quiet chuckle, pressing a kiss on Quinn's lips.
-
Quinn smiled gently, holding him close. He kissed him back for a moment, before pulling away. ‘I know I am. We’ll go on a date tonight, then get your new identity first thing tomorrow. Sound good?’
