[By all rights, he should be terrified of that. He's wrapped in coil after coil of an anaconda-like grip, caught and to some degree immobilized. The gargoyle certainly doesn't like it, the lack of freedom, the constriction. On some level even the human in him finds it unsettling, the combination of the loss of freedom and the potential for injury at the mercy of someone else.
But the predominant part of him, the one that matters right now, is the one that's so tired and sick and done, and that's the part that finds security in this. He's not going anywhere. He has nowhere to go. He doesn't have to do anything, and he's not alone.
Symbiotes, he thinks hazily as his eyes start to close, as Rohan holds his face and presses kisses to his forehead that never once bring with them the scrape of fangs — symbiotic relationships are interconnected ones, tangled up like the two of them are now. This one is mutualism, where everyone benefits.
That's not so bad, he muses sleepily. His mother's Stand was a parasite. The other way is...so much better.]
