[Well, this is certainly helping him not be upset] [Shakes his head quickly]
No... No, Merlin-- [Bites his lip, shaking his head more and reaching out for him, touching at his face gently, thumbs brushing over his cheeks and then sliding back into his hair, holding him close]
You can't-- help how you feel. It's alright. [Rubs his back, clinging to him] It's alright... You don't have to apologize. You don't.
Aren't you always telling me to cry if I need to? It's the same for you. [It's alright. ;__;]
