[Xenk might not be really hugging him, but Kirk thinks it's a hug enough to turn his young face into the vampire's chest and hug him back. To cling tightly as his fists ball in Xenk's tunic at the back. Holds on like he's a lifeline for him.
He does his best to stop crying, trying to calm his breathing. Why can he be vulnerable around Xenk but not the other kids? Was it because Xenk was someone he could rely on while the other kids looked up to him, looked to him for protection and guidance?
All he knows is that he didn't sign up for this shitty life.]
But I need to be strong enough now. I need to keep us alive.. I don't want to lose anyone else.
