"Screw that. We have time for everything, we make time for it," he said. "You can't just will yourself to be fine, after... something like that."
Fuck knew the standard torture was traumatizing enough, and they had plenty of difficulty working through that. Being abused and raped, even in some stupid fantasy, only made all that even worse. Something that James was sure the demons had been hoping would happen, at least in some of those scenarios. They seemed to thrive from their suffering, so why not that too?
"It's going to be okay. Not by you forcing yourself into these things, but by giving yourself the time to deal with this," he said. Possibly by giving James the time to find the fucker who did it and cut off his dick, then stab him in the eye. Not that it'd help Jim recover, but it sure would help him deal with the fact that he hadn't truly managed to keep Jim safe, when it came down to it.
He brushed his fingers through Jim's hair, kissing his forehead. "What do you say we just... forget about sex, and cuddle up in bed instead? I'll stay right here with you."
