[ He's not entirely sure what happened - now or prior to his staggering his way back - and so for a moment, he just stares to the redhead, taking in those words regarding the color red; he remembers them and it causes him to smile a little. ]
Sure you didn't mean you?
[ His words are soft, gentle, fragile almost given the current state he has himself in. Eyes fall shut and he sighs, his breathing slow but steady and if he had a heart - a real one - it would surely be drumming just as steady right about now.
Carefully, a hand lifts to brush fingers through his matted hair and he sighs a little, knowing that he must look less than attractive. He thinks to ask Axel how he looks for a moment but stops himself from doing so, hand dropping to the mattress instead. It doesn't really matter what he looks like so long as he's still here, right? At least, that's what it feels like.
Laying on the bed feels nice and it's maybe what he needed with the amount of staggering he had done in order to get himself here. The minutes had blurred together and he wasn't even sure how long it had taken him to get to the point of Axel finding him but with a curious thought attached to that, he glances over to the redhead and slowly blinks those blue eyes of his. ]
...how long have I been gone?
[ Because with the way Axel looked to him, the way he seemed so happy and relieved to see him, he had to be betting that it was more than a couple hours as it somehow all felt like to him. ]
