[He freezes. Surprise turns to embarrassment, turns to mortal embarrassment, the kind you can die from probably, the blood is supposed to stay in the face, turns to 'oh no I fucked up'.
Honestly he's kind of glad for the blindfold because it saves him from having to look Raven in the eye.]
[Maybe Raven didn't notice his fuck-up. Please pleeeease make it so he didn't notice. Flustered, but still trying to-- I dunno, preserve his pride somehow, Nero defensively mutters,]
[He stops, again - staring at Raven with confusion and worry. At least he stopped fighting the binding? Even his guard starts to drop, softened by a swell of concern.]
[Nero's gaze falls, and he rolls his face into the sheets to try and hide the deep flush in his face]
He wants to protect me, too. Not nice, but kind. And he's thoughtful - even though he can't let himself be seen loving anyone... even though he can't let himself feel loved.

when does he bring up the fact that he's tied up. Is this an awkward time to mention it?]

[Mmn. Hm. No, that was not really true. Hm! HM.
There's a lump in Nero's throat that he tries to swallow.]
I know what he's like. He hurts himself.

[the bindings relax more and more, and start to creep up over raven, coiling around him the same way they were wrapped around nero]
