[ It isn't his fault that he's like this, but it's his fault he can't fix it. Keep up, Flamebringer. Ezell reaches his hand out to hold Flamebringer's before he makes some attempt to stand so he can go grab the rocks. Wait, no, don't. What if that makes it worse? What if the longer you hold onto them, they more they suck out of you? What if Flamebringer won't ever be the same?
He can't voice any of these concerns because he's too busy shaking. Why does it matter? If Flamebringer is different, shouldn't that be a good thing? Well, no. Of course not. For many reasons. One, he wouldn't wish this sort of depression on anyone. And two... he really likes Flamebringer, actually. He knows it's stupid, but he loves his dumb stubbornness. He loves his compassion, and his denial that he's so affectionate. He loves that he's overprotective and wants to make sure Ezell is safe, regardless of what he has to do for it.
...Does he love Flamebringer? He might, actually, now that he's considered it.
Then... maybe he could try something else. Maybe... maybe maybe maybe it's okay to be brutally honest with Flamebringer for once? He'll pull the Sarkaz just a smidge closer, then before he can change his mind and back out, Ezell presses their lips together for... a somewhat desperate, frantic kiss. ]
