“I know,” Briar said, sighing, “but I mean, I do feel like I’m capable- It is very stressful, but I do love helping people. I just- I’m not sure if it’s what I truly want, y’know?”
-
‘Then what do you want?’ Lawrence asked softly, running his thumb along Briar’s cheekbone. ‘I’m sure whatever you choose your citizens will support you.’
-
“I don’t know, that’s the thing,” Briar said, leaning into Lawrence’s touch. “God, this is frustrating…”
-
Lawrence gave a small smile. 'How about this, tomorrow you take the day off? No meetings, no paperwork, just a full day for us to go around town, trying to find things you enjoy?'
-
“I- I’d love to, but I don’t know if I can,” Briar said, running a hand through his hair.
-
Lawrence's smile faltered. 'Why not? You need a break every once in a while, hun.'
-
“I just- I have so much work, and- and I can’t get behind, I-“ Briar exhaled shakily, covering his face with his hands. He crouched down, groaning softly.
-
Lawrence crouched down with him. He took the other man in his arms and gently rubbed his back, trying to soothe him. 'Hey, it's okay. You're okay. Tell me how I can help.'
-
“I- I don’t know what I need,” Briar spoke, gripping onto his hair. He exhaled shakily as he leaned into Lawrence’s arms, squeezing his eyes shut.
-
Lawrence grabbed Briar's hands and moved them off the man's head, gently squeezing his hands, then returning his arms around him. 'That's okay. Try to calm down.'
-
Briar exhaled shakily, taking a deep breath and calming down a little. He lifted his head, resting it on Lawrence’s shoulder for a moment. “Sorry, I- I’m just freaking out for no reason…”
-
'No, it's okay. I really don't mind,' Lawrence spoke softly and with a small smile. 'Take your time. I'm right here.'
-
Briar nodded, exhaling softly. “I think I’m okay, I- I guess I shoul get back to work,” he said, leaning back a little.
-
Lawrence nodded, but was still really worried. 'If you're sure.'
-
“I’m sure,” Briar said with a small smile, going to stand up.
