Phantom pain - if that's what you could call it.

Percy sat in his partners arms, Hands shaking and arms stiff. He'd dreamt about the sky again - holding it up merely for a few minutes. He couldn't imagine how they felt - holding it up for hours, possibly even more - and still comforting him.

He took in deep breathes, trying to loosen the tension on his back - it felt like the sky still rested upon his shoulders - albeit he hadn't almost blacked out like he did then.

His hands dug into their sides, trying to remind himself he could move - he wasn't stuck there, he could get up and walk around - and that's what he did.

with {{user}} by his side, he paced the room slowly - trying to ease his shoulders.
