Nio stayed in that room for a few more days. Jay made sure to stay by his side, making sure he didn't do anything stupid. He didn't feel anything. Nio knew that it was normal for him but the doctors were worried. "His brain is showing irregular patters." Jay glanced at him, worried.
"He doesn't show any emotion. It's like there was a switch in his brain. I'm guessing he locked himself away and had his body mindlessly take care of it until he felt safe. Obviously that would leave some- er well bad side effects." The doctor continued.
Nio just blinked and rolled on his side, staring at the blank wall. "Give him the apple." Jay said softly from behind the glass and the apple was given to him. He slowly ate it. "See now his brain patterns become more alive but not by much." The doctor finished. Jay nodded and sent them away, walking into the room.
Nio turned his head and Jay helped him up. Nio changed and Jay led him to the dorms. Nio was silent, his expression blank. Jay talked to him but it wasn't getting anywhere. He sighed and Nio looked at him sharply. Jay blinked but didn't say anything as he unlocked his dorm room. The organization had ended up moving once again.
Nio's eyes widened as a cat sprinted to the kitchen and Loui ran up to him. Jay told him the layout of the dorm. "Kitchen is to the left. Connected to it is a dining room. Then the living room is where we are now." It was big with a modern sofa and furnishings. "There are two bathrooms and two bedrooms. Bed and bath are connected to each other."
Nio nodded and bent down to Loui level. He giggled as Loui barked happily and licked him. Jay was surprised at the sound so he texted the doctor. Nio cooed to Loui as the cat cautiously came out. "This is Nia. She is 8 moths old. Domestic short hair." Nio's head turned to the cat. He reached his hand out and the cat came up to him.
It meowed and licked a scratch on his hand. He smiled and she jumped into his lap. He laughed as Jay stared surprised. Nia barley warmed up to strangers. Now she was full on acting like he was her mother?? He shrugged and walked into the kitchen. Nio stood up and followed him. Nio looked around at the marble counter tops and his eyes widened.
His body quickly made it's way to the cabinets and Jay watched him, smiling. Nio opened it and smiled to himself. It was full of his favorite food: Club crackers. He quickly grabbed a package and scarfed it down. Jay laughed and Nio yelped in surprise. He had forgotten that Jay was still there.
Nio blushed and mumbled something. "Here, I'll take you to your room." Jay said cautiously and Nio nodded, following him. It was a big room with a twin bed. It had a window seat with opening windows. "Don't open them while I'm not here." Jay commanded as Nio opened them. Jay watched from a chair. The rest of the room was blank, allowing Nio to customize it.
"We have two other roommates." Jay said and Nio turned around. "It's Mira and Mia." Nio realized that there was another bed on the opposite side of the room. Jay's side was more personalized and he had a soft rug with a plant wall. Nio nodded and sat on his bed. Jay knew it was gonna be awhile before Nio would be truly comfortable
He left Nio, who was under the covers and falling asleep. "He's in there. Superrr quiet though." Jay explained to Mira and Mia. They said goodnight and he went back to the room. Loui curled up beside his bed as Nia lay on Nio's body. Jay smiled and heard whimpering coming from Nio.
Nia got off and let Jay sit by him. He looked at Nio's face. His mouth was open and he was crying. Jay took him in his arms and rocked him. Nio whimpered and his eyes shot open. He stared at Jay and sobbed even louder. Jay shushed him. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Nio mumbled.
"Nio.. why on Earth are you sorry?" Jay asked softly and Nio stared at him in shock. "I could have killed you." Nio whimpered and Jay shook his head. "Baby, baby. I am not mad. I'm relieved you are alive and that you came out of wherever you locked yourself away to." Nio stared at him and broke down.
"It was horrible Jay. It was dark and I couldn't get out. I saw myself beating people up. I hated it. Some people didn't care and beat me back. Jay- Jay I cheated on you." Nio sobbed and Jay rocked him. "You didn't Nio. You got raped. Nio... take off your shirt." Jay could smell blood and Nio shook his head.
"No- no no no no no no no ...." He whimpered over and over again, releasing Jay and hugging himself tightly. "Nio.." Jay said softly and he finally took off his shirt. His chest was bleeding. Jay sighed and led him to the bathroom. "Get undressed." Jay said quietly, looking away.
Nio whimpered but stripped off his clothes. He got into the bath as Jay made hims turn around and face him. Jay was also in the bath. Nio blushed, realizing he was naked. Jay just shrugged and started cleaning Nio's body. He made sit in his lap as he washed his hair. Nio smiled as the warm water hit his head.
Jay tickled him and Nio laughed. "I want to hear that sound more often." Jay murmured in his ear. Nio blushed and Jay chuckled. They finished and got changed. Jay helped Nio clean is chest wound and helped him back into the bed. Nio fell asleep quickly. 'Stay.." Nio whispered to Jay, who was getting up to go to his own bed. Jay smiled down at him and pulled Nio to his chest.
"Mommy said she doesn't love me." Nio whimpered a few hours later. Jay groggily woke up and blinked. "What?" He asked, his voice low and tired. Nio didn't respond and slept like nothing had happened. Jay sighed and fell back asleep.
Jay woke up to an empty bed and Nio sitting by the window. Jay sat up and blinked, half asleep. Nio turned, hearing the bed move. His face was starting to show more emotion. His cheeks turned a bit pink as he stared at Jay. "What??" Jay asked confused. Nio blushed harder and turned back to the window. Jay stood up and walked up to Nio.
He wrapped his arms around Nio's bare torso and rested his head on Nio's. Nio giggled and Jay kissed his head. He released him and allowed Nio some space. Nio was quiet as Jay read over different reports. There was a knock on the door and Mira slowly opened the door.
"Hey." She said softly and Nio turned to her. His face brightened and he hugged her. "I'm so so sorry." He mumbled and he released her. She smiled at him. "I'd rather take a beating from you than anyone else." Nio smiled sheepishly at that comment.
They talked for a bit and she left. Nio sighed and went to sit in Jay's lap. Jay looked at him surprised but went back to reading the reports. Nio fell asleep against him and Jay smiled at his sleeping face.
