So what exactly was Alberto? He assumed lover, if Edward's hints meant anything but what sort of power did this guy have? Must have been well connected. He didn't know what else to do so he let Edward stay attached to him as he slowly pulled himself upright, Edward awkwardly tangled in his arms until he finally got him into a more comfortable position.

He held him close and felt his pulse, listening to his breathing steady out. He'd be feeling this a while but as long as they got him out of hyperventilating, he'd be safe. "It's all right, Edward. I promise. It's all in your head." He hesitated before awkwardly attempting to pet Edward's hair. "It's all okay. Gonna take your home real soon. Promise. And you're gonna stay away from me, okay? For your own sake."
