Frozenberry -

 

Frozenberry stopped short at the growl, panic winding him. Already he was on the precipice of disaster and this was enough to shove him over, the rejection stacked on top of high hopes crumbling down into disappointment for both of them. He sucked in a breath, and another, and his lungs were full and he heaved as a convulsion forced the air back out in sporadic coughs. (Eyes on him. The humiliation, he could feel it.) He hated every second of how this had gone and didn't want Falcon to witness the breaking point.

How much he'd affected him. And still affected him even after the incidents he didn't even bother remembering, because he didn't care so why did Frozenberry have to care? Why was he the one waking up in cold sweats from nightmares revising the torture to honeyed words and promises that they could be wonderful without claws. That he loved him, wouldn't leave him, just please don't hurt--

He was impossible. Falcon was right, and so he waited to do something correctly since this was a relatively small ask. His body quivered under the scrutiny, fighting back the urge to flinch away from the suddenfalconinfrontofhim. (He didn't know if it was anticipation or apprehension.)

Yes, anticipation and desire. And a hell of a lot of fear that ramped up to one hundred in an instant. Because his survival instincts were sharp -- if the experience left him with anything, it was hyper-awareness of his surroundings at all times and right now he was trapped. TRAPPED inside the elders den and Falcon was blocking the exit and Frozenberry's claws shot into the dirt to steady himself from the wave of vertigo, edges of his vision tunneling as his mind raced get out get out GET OUT NOW GET OUT

adrenaline activated. habits died hard. instincts didn't fade when they were the only thing that'd kept him alive as Falcon's former prisoner. GET OUT GET OUT Frozenberry's gaze darted. Seeking. Desperate. But they were in a HOLE. underground. no exit. no exit but the one he was blocking.
