Duncan shook his head. "...no... just need a second," he panted. "Too much touch..." he mustered out, knowing that if he got too overstimulated he would hyperventilate, pushing his hand away weakly just as he passed out again and waking again a few moments later.

Axel sighed when he said he didn't want to go to the doctors, but he obliged him for the moment being, since he was out of the water and such. He just lingered nearby, looking for any sign of getting better or worse.

Duncan didn't pass out again, he managed to catch his breath. "Okay, I'm okay," he sighed.

Axel nodded when Duncan managed to catch his breath, visibly relaxing. "Why don't we get you into bed," he asked. "Take a break, relax," he added, still just worried about him.

Duncan nodded, curling up in bed, waiting for Axel.

Axel settled Duncan in before crawling up onto the bed himself. He didn't curl in right away, so he remy had been overstimulated, but he left the option open

Duncan reached out and held his hand, squeezing it lightly.

Axel squeezed his hand back, smiling softly at him. "I love you," he hummed softly. He wasn't sure why....but he did. And he wanted to tell him.

Axel squeezed his hand back, smiling softly at him. "I love you," he hummed softly. He wasn't sure why....but he did. And he wanted to tell him.

"I love you too," he hummed with a smile, drifting off.
