To Omega's absolute shock, he suddenly finds himself with an armful of his mate in tears, and she isn't trying to rip out chunks of him in the process. It's pure instinct to catch her and hold her, even if she reacts badly to it, but right now she seems to have no choice to do anything but cry.
He strokes her hair down her back, saying nothing else while she lets herself be this vulnerable, having his own idea of how near goddamn impossible that is. It's heart-wrenching, the way nothing else in the world would be. Blue is the only creature on earth who can affect him like this. That's the whole point.
When she looks up at him, absolute misery in her lovely eyes, he shakes his head. "I didn't." He rubs the wetness from her cheeks even if the tears might just roll right over them again. "You did. It didn't happen in a month, and we both know it -- but eventually you just took over everything else."
He rolls his head back, looking up toward the ceiling again, and swallows with difficulty. "If I'm not that thing for you, then, that's -- fine. But whatever it is, I'll help you find it."
