Cass was still hunched over 10 minutes later, wanting the world to end. Edgar and Gideon stayed with him, letting him take as much time as he needed. They didn't pressure him or make him feel silly for reacting like this.
They just…stayed with him. Cass appreciated that.
Slowly, Cass rose back up, his face still burning, embarrassment choking him still as he let out a few shaky breaths. Both Edgar and Gideon had sympathetic looks on their faces but that only made the moment worse.
"I can't fucking believe it." He mumbled and Edgar reached out and patted his thigh.
"We can see if we can catch it again if you want." He offered and Cass blushed.
"I don't think I want to know what I look like." Cass blurted and Edgar and Gideon stared at him in surprise. Cass covered his face with his hand. "Sorry. I'm still…I don't like seeing myself like that. I'm glad that you two like to see me like that, but I just…it's still hard for me." Cass wasn't even sure if what he said made sense.
