[It's as obvious as it is infuriating to Murdoc. He regrets waking up today, he kind of wishes they could have just stayed cuddling forever. He highly doubts he'll be able to wind the other man down enough for that anytime soon.

He deflates a little at Bro's reaction. He wasn't sure what he expected, but it was more reassuring than that. He steps to the side as Bro stalks past and moves forward to pick up the photo and dust it off, placing it on the bed and turning to find a surface to see himself in.

It's about then that he catches Bro preparing to jump out the window and he accidentally lets out a very genuinely animalistic hiss. He steps forward and scoops an arm around his middle so he can lift him away from it. Well, he certainly doesn't have to worry about his back anymore.. He can lift Bro with surprising ease, given that he's only using one arm.]

It will hurt, you fool. You haven't got a broom and this isn't a dream. Pinch youself if you don't believe me, maybe the sting will do you some good.
