Pic snaps out of his reverie. "Huh? Oh, yeah!" He sits on the floor close to Aventine. He hums for a second. 

"So... what the heck are we?"

"Something. I'm not sure. I'd never even kissed anyone before..."

Pic hums for a moment, then speaks. "I care about you. A lot. And I don't want to go back to where we were before."

“Before I ran away from home, there were really only two people I cared about. One died the night I left, the other six years ago. They were both killed. It feels as if simply by caring for someone I’m dooming them to be killed.”

Pic hums for a minute, and his song turns to one of mourning. Sweeping melodies were hummed under his breath. He spoke after a few measures of this. 

"Before coming to the clinic, I had no one who truly cared about me, and not many people, if any, I truly cared about. I could sing, but it was the only thing that made me happy. It was the only time I felt alive. Sometimes here that is still true," He let a few notes ring out. "But here, I've started to care about people again. People are caring about me, and it makes me feel alive! If I don't care, I die inside. My soul stops singing. I don't know if you feel the same way, but the way you kissed me and the way you care for Jar Man makes me think you feel similarly." Pic turned and smiled at Aventine.

"Plus, you're not He Who Ends. You can't kill me by being with me any more than I can kill you by being with you."

She leaned the back of her head against his chest. “Yeah. Maybe. I’ve just built my walls so high that it’s hard to tear them down for anyone. Feeling like I’m constantly on the verge of shattering, and like I’m already just a group of broken pieces barely being held together.”

Pic hesitantly placed an arm around her. "And I'm not much more than a collection of notes on legs, struggling to be of help to anyone. So? I can still love you."

She blinked, trying to fight back her tears. She took deep breaths. Eventually they exactly aligned with the music.

”I love you too,” she whispered between two phrases.

Pic hug tightened. "So we are doing this now," He hums, the smile evident in his voice.

She didn’t respond, though her breathing remained steady. When he moved his head to look at her face, her eyes were closed and she was smiling. Asleep.

Pic smiled, held her, and messed with her hair as she slept. He relaxed, and for the first time in a while, felt peace.

Addison looked at them with a tinge of envy. What would it be like to have someone that cared about her like that, to have someone to care about. It was a pointless thought, she’d probably never know. And even if she did, she’d let whoever it was down eventually. She always did…who had she let down? She’d forgotten.
