Ashburn

Ashburn winced as the movement stretched his tumors, clenching his teeth to avoid crying out. He leaned his head against Eric's taking comfort in his presence, and being so close to his lover. He sighed softly.

"Sweetie, this whole process is painful. I've been in pain for weeks now, just like you" He confessed softly into Eric's ear "This is just another part of the transformation. This isn't much worse than growing half a foot in a week."

Ash sighed again, catching his breath adding "You just didn't know how hard the transformation has been on me because we never had this connection until now. I was helping myself by helping you." Ash lifted his head to look Eric in the face, another tear running down his face from the pain getting worse "Babe, do not worry yourself over this. Just like the rest of this damn transformation this will pass and remedy its self. How about we just go to bed? I'll even sleep in here so you can keep an eye on me."

Ash smiled at the idea of sharing a bed with Eric, and honestly had suggested it partly because he wanted to sleep in here anyways. Ever since their connection had cemented the thought of being away from Eric, even if just across the apartment, was painful. He knew of course that this wouldn't entirely appease the giant upon who he lay, but he hoped that Ash being within inches of him for constant monitoring would at least sate his protective instinct.
