Theo dropped the container of peanut butter and hopped off the counter, following the boy in a rush. He kept pacing around behind the boy as if someone was blocking his view, his movements frantic and distressed, his face painted with a level of concern that might have been more fitting if Tobin had cut off his hand. He made no sound nor any move to touch the boy, slipping around him instead and into the bathroom before him, all but attacking the cabinet as he dug around for the kit. Things went flying, something crashed, bits glass scattering across the floor and some kind of liquid that burned faintly at his skin sloshed at and pooled around his knees. He didn't seem to notice and he didn't seem to see the kit right in front of him either. It was right there, neatly tucked away in the front corner, just as Tobin had left it only hours ago but even as his eyes passed over it numerous times, he didn't seem to register that it was there and he was getting more and more agitated the more he searched.
He hissed loudly in frustration, swiping a bandaged hand across a cluttered shelf and knocking the contents to the floor, pawing wildly through the mess, his eyes growing unfocused again. It was possible he had forgotten what he was even doing -- after a minute he was scrabbling blindly at the floor, clawing scratches into the tile. He looked up with a startled hiss at Tobin suddenly, breathing hard, his wide blown pupils shrinking to fine slits with startling speed as his eyes focused sharply on the boy with a predators accuracy. As insane as the man's behaviour was, he still seemed to recognise who Tobin was though and made no move to attack. His gaze dropped to the boy's bleeding hand -- either suddenly remembering what he'd been doing or restarting the whole panicked process again as his eyes turned to scan through the mess, still failing to spot the one thing he hadn't disturbed. His shoulders slumped as a sad, strangled sound escaped him, his face falling into one bleak expression of defeat and despair, his eyes haunted by the ugly sense of failure that tore viciously into his battered mind.

At first he was surprised that the other male had even realized he existed, let alone pre-empted him into the bathroom for the kit. However, as he stood at the doorway, he quickly grew concerned at his behavior. The kit was almost blatantly staring the one armed brunet in the face, yet he kept moving past it or looking over it. Tobin moved to show him the kit, picking his way across the glass strewn floor, but halfway there he reared back as he was met with a hiss.
He waited patiently for the man to realize he was no threat, and his gaze softened when the man let out that horrid wail. Using a rumpled towel he wiped the glass from the floor and settled beside the broken man, hushing him softly with a sweet voice. "Look here, it's alright. See? " He snagged the kit awkwardly with his uninjured hand, fumbling with the tabs as he tried to open it. "It's fine, here is the kit. And my cut isnt that bad." He dragged another towel from the rung, wincing as he ruined it with the blood running down his arm. His thumb was pretty bad, in all actuality. But maybe the man wouldnt notice if he told him it wasn't.

Theo stared at the kit and then at the mess he had made, as if suddenly aware of what he had done. He drew in a few ragged breaths, trying to slow them, his body trembling slightly. He ducked his head in something that might have resembled a nod, his hair falling into his face and hiding his eyes. He reached towards the kit, helping Tobin with the tabs as best he could with a shaking hand. He rifled through the kit briefly and then stopped, looking up and staring at Tobin for a minute before his hand left the bag and trailed slowly up the boy's arm, his touch feather light and scarcely there until his fingers traced over the place where Icarus had cut him hours ago, a patch of clean smooth skin that no longer bared any mark. The gears seemed to be turning in his head and he reached back into the kit again, ignoring the curved needle and surgical thread and reaching for a bit of gauze instead. It wasn't Theo's intelligence that was questionable -- he knew the difference between a minor injury and a bad one and a bit of gauze wasn't going to be enough to patch up the boy's thumb but he was wrapping it carefully but firmly around the boy's thumb anyways, fastening it in place when he was satisfied that it would keep him from spilling blood everywhere.
He took the already ruined towel and used it to clean the blood gently from the boy's forearm before he dropped it aside and stood, reaching out and taking hold of the boy's wrist and pulling him up as well. He didn't let go when the boy was on his feet, pulling him along quickly from the ruined bathroom and down the hall and then outside again. He let go of him then, stepping around him to shut the door behind them.

Theo reached behind him and grabbed the boy by the waistline of his jeans, pulling him back around and pushing him ahead of him. He moved forward slowly, stepping to keep himself between Tobin and the door. He lunged forward a few steps, Tithe's predatory growl rumbling up his throat, but he made no move to actually attack. He slowed again instead, his eyes sharply focused and almost laughing, a playful grin stretched across his lips. He wouldn't let Tobin pass him, constantly moving in his way or driving him back instead like some strange dance.
Curiously, he seemed to register the boy's words this time. He even shook his head, though the movement was slight, perhaps unintentional or unconnected to the gesture it was linked to.
