Marvelous crouching down beside him and touching him - telling him he’s brave - soothes Don a little. He leans his head toward Marvelous’s hand, and reaches out to cling to him.
Marvelous doesn’t seem angry with him. He doesn’t seem to care about the chair at all - he flat out says that he cares more about Don. The clench of panic in Don’s chest loosens as the reassurance sinks in. His lower lip trembles, and he leans forward to lay his forehead on Marvelous’s shoulder.
“I just wanted to cook a good meal for you,” he says, sniffling. Why did it have to turn out like this? He’d just wanted to do something to make Marvelous happy, but he’s put them both in distress instead.
Still, he knows there’s no point in feeling sorry for himself over it right this second. He raises his head and looks up at Marvelous. “C-can you help me up? I don’t want to stay on the floor, and m-maybe we could... put some ice on it?”
