Kitten yowled in frustration. "Chance! Unlock this damn door! Chance I swear to god!! Open it!" She pounded her fist on the wood."Chance!"
Zane clutched at his head, squeezing his eyes closed. Half of him wanted to tell Chance to get Kitten, to get far away from him so he wouldn't get hurt. But the other half wanted to take Chance into his arms, to kiss away his tears.
The blue-haired seme couldn't manage a thought other than "I hurt him..." or "Is Chance alright...?" Eventually, he looked up at Chance, his eyes no longer menacing, just apologetic, broken, and pleading, filled with tears. "Chance..." he croaked, then cleared his throat,"Are... Are you alright?"

Chance flinched as Kitten shouted through the door, but only moved further away. Sobs shook his small body as he glanced back up at Zane. When he couldn't sense any hostility from the seme, he sniffled and scrambled across the room, wrapping his arms around the man.
"I'm okay... I'm alright...!" the uke insisted, wiping the dried blood from his split lip. Sniffling, he rested his head on Zane's shoulder, as if begging for a warm, comforting embrace. "Please don't cry..."

Zane started slightly, not expecting Chance's embrace. He put his arms around the smaller male's waist lightly, as though afraid to hold him any tighter. "I'm sorry, Chance.... I'm sorry..."
The seme appeared afraid to touch Chance, lest he hurt him again. He vaguely heard Kitten, banging on the door like a madwoman. He already knew he'd never forgive himself for what he'd done to Chance. Part of him hoped Chance would at least hit him back or yell at him and give him a hard time instead of forgiving him easily. That would be more of what he deserved. The rest of him just wanted Chance.
But how could he ever look him in the eye again, knowing he had hurt him so badly?

Chance instinctively opened his mouth to forgive him, but hesitated. "...It's... Okay..." he murmured, wiping away tears. Noticing Zane's reluctance, the boy hugged him tighter.
Another presence filled the room, and a soft sigh could be heard. Ailene watched the two males silently. This is too terrible... Six's work, I'd assume... I have to fix this. She curled her petite fists at the thought of the Sister. After calming herself, the girl became visible and stepped forward, holding out a hand as if to assure the two that she wouldn't hurt them. "Don't worry. I would like to help you two..."

Zane, as always, fiercely protective over Chance, pulled him closer when Ailene appeared, growling slightly. "Who are you..?" he asked, eyeing her skeptically,"And what do you mean, you want to help us?" His first thought was of her being one of the Sisters, but she didn't seem at all like them. She seemed nicer, kinder...
Then again, so did Seven, and she had corrupted Rissa and tried to kill him. So he tightened his grip on Chance, ready to jump in front of him if the girl turned out to be like them.

Chance watched the girl cautiously. He held tight to Zane, protective of his seme despite the beating he had just endured.
"I'm sorry, Zane, Sir. My name's Ailene," she began, bowing slightly. "I want to help fix this... Six is responsible for your alcohol addiction, Sir. I don't want to see a couple like you separated because of that."

Zane paused, thinking back to when he had first began drinking. Shortly before then, he remembered looking Six in the eye... And it clicked. "She did it..." he hissed.
He eyed Ailene again. "How are you going to fix it, exactly?" he asked, not entirely trusting of her.

Chance kept his arms wrapped firmly around his seme, still wary of Ailene.
Ailene nodded solemnly. "She did, Sir. But I can fix it, if you'd allow me. I understand you may not trust me, and I'm not sure how I can convince you--Oh, wait!" She blinked, looking down at Chance. "If you don't mind, Chance, Sir..." Trailing off, she lifted a hand and gently glided her fingertips across the boy's cheek. Slowly, his bruises began to fade, followed by the scars and burns on his arms and chest.

Zane watched in surprise, his eyes widening. "Th-they're... gone..." He looked up at Ailene, keeping Chance close to him. "I.... I believe you..." He bit his lip tightly. "Please.... Make it go away..."

Chance blinked. "What's gone...?" he wondered, lifting a hand to his face. It didn't hurt anymore. No more bruises...? Ah! And my arms are healed, too!
Ailene smiled. She had her permission to act. "I'm glad... Please don't worry, Sir. This isn't going to hurt you." The girl raised her hand once again, resting her fingertips on Zane's forehead. She focused, removing his urge to drink. When she finished, she pulled her hand back and grinned. "All done. No more alcohol for you, Sir."

Zane blinked. "That was... it?" After a moment, he smiled softly. "Trust me.... I'll never drink again... Never." He still seemed afraid to touch Chance, as though he thought he'd hurt him so easily. "Chance... They're all healed...!" He looked up at Ailene. "Thank you.... Thank you..."

Chance, once again noticing Zane's reluctance, hugged his seme tightly. "Are you... Really better now?" he asked hopefully. "...Thank you, Ailene..."
Ailene smiled. "That was it..." she verified. "It was my pleasure, Sir. The two of you... Should never be separated, for any reason. Look at how Chance still hugs you, despite what just happened. He loves you very much... And I would say you love him just as well."

Zane blinked, hugging Chance just as tightly now. "Yeah.... I'm okay now, Chance..." He looked up at Ailene and nodded. "I do.... I love him more than anything else in this world or the next." He kissed the top of Chance's head. "And I always will."

He's okay... He's okay... Chance buried his face in Zane's shirt, closing his eyes and smiling softly. "So... Everything's going to be fine now, right?"
"I'm happy to hear that, Sir," Ailene responded, glad she was able to help.
