(Damian: I'll get one just for you. If you'll be there with me to get it.)
"If it's not fun for you, it won't be fun for me. I'll only do what you want to do." Damian told him honestly. If Hunter was having second thoughts, then it probably wasn't something worth doing. They could just leave now, let Lucifer be at peace. They really had tormented him a lot that day, and Colby would probably be questioning them tomorrow. He pursed his lips and hummed. "Do you wanna just go home?" -
(Hunter: Of course. I'll always go with you wherever you go.)
Hunter looked away, a very visible blush covering his face. He hadn't realized that Damian was always so eager to do whatever he wanted. It meant a lot to him. And now that Damian was offering.. "Yeah, we should probably get out of here before his big brother comes. It looks like he won't be running to tell someone anytime soon." He gestured to the sleeping Lucifer. "I will have to borrow your shower, though. I need to wash this crap out of my hair or else my dad'll kill me." -
(Damian: Hunter.. ;-; I...I think I l-love you..)
The raven smiled, not a wicked or evil, a genuine smile that expressed his happiness. "He's never told anyone anything. His big brother will see the video, but other than that, we're good." He looked at Lucifer then back at Hunter. "Hold on a sec." He hurried out to the living room, grabbing the discarded stuffed penguin and bringing it back. Damian cautiously went over to their snoozing princess and placed the animal in his arms to cuddle. He left the room with Hunter, hurrying to leave. "And about the shower, I'll do you one better and let you stay the night." He grinned playfully. -
(Hunter: ;u; Really?)
"That's true~ We're always good when it comes to out favorite boy." He took Damian's hand, stopping him right before they got to the door so he could retrieve the bag with the irons. "I'm glad that I get to stay, however.. What are we supposed to do with these things? Should we leave them here as a gift to Phoenix, or should we stop by that store to get a refund on the ones we didn't use?"
(NICE DAMIAN IS SO FREAKING CUTE SQUEE) -
(Damian: Yes.. ;3; )
He flinched when Hunter took his hand, but gave his friend's hand a squeeze. The raven stared at the bag in thought, then took the bag from him. "We can hold onto them for now. If you ever wanna brand someone else, you'll have them to do it with. Now let's get going. Maybe I can text Colby for some of those homework answers. While you're showering, I'll try to get as much of it done as I can. Although, I feel like skipping tomorrow.."
(HE'S GOTTA BE NICE AND CUTE AT SOME POINT~) -
(Hunter: I love you too.)
Hunter grinned, clinging to his hand sweetly. "Alright, I guess that does make sense now that I think about it. You and I can split them if you'd like." He grinned, pulling him out of the room and closing the door. "I'm sure he'll give us a couple. It won't be hard to do that kind of homework. The teacher does put a lot of stress on it, though.." He sighed, biting on his bottom lip. "But then we'll be just like Lucy.. Ditching for no apparent reason. Oh well~ Wanna ditch school and stay at your house?"
(hnnngh he needs to stay that way) -
(Damian: Hold me close~)
"We're not like Lucy. He has a reason to stay home now that his back hurts. Besides, if he skipped the last time we beat him up, then he'll skip tomorrow, too." Damian left the apartment, pulling his best friend along and closing the locked door behind them. "We best hurry up before big brother gets here." He murmured and walked down to the lobby. Of course, there was a different receptionist, a man this time, working when they left, so he didn't think anything of Damian and Hunter. -
(Hunter: *does so~~*)
"I suppose you're right.. I bet his everything is hurting by this point." Hunter continued to cling to his friend's hand, happily being pulled along. Suddenly, he stopped talking, his expression disappearing. He was entering his silent state. However, he still was aware of their situation, and without a word, as soon as they made it outside, he started running, pulling his raven haired friend along. He knew that he could have hurt his friend, but they were usually so in sync that he didn't worry about it. -
(Damian: *snuggles*)
"Yeah..." He hummed and was shocked when Hunter started to run once they were outside. Damian stumbled over his own feet but quickly caught up with his friend, a large smile coming over his face. "Hunter!" He laughed with pure joy as they ran from their 'crimes' like when they were younger. The raven's laughing fits didn't stop the whole way. He didn't know exactly why, but he was happier than he'd ever been. -
(Hunter: *cuddle cuddle*)
Hunter grinned as soon as Damian had caught up to him. He didn't get to see his smile as often as he liked, and his laughter was real music to his ears. After a while, he started laughing with him, a real smile on his face. "Sorry for that. I figured you'd be able to catch up with me. And you did, just.. I didn't want you to fall." He slowed down to the point where he was walking.
(Do you want to do both "POVs" of Damian + Hunter and Lucifer + Phoenix at the same time, or what are we going to do? o3o) -
"Even if I did fall, I know you'd catch me, or at least help me back up." Damian smiled at him, slowing to walk beside him, staying close. His stomach grumbled as they walked to his house together. "I guess I'll make something to eat once we get there."
Phoenix returned home about a half hour after his brother's assaulters left. He greeted the receptionist as he came in, heading for the stairs and to their apartment. Finding his keys and yawning as he unlocked the door, slowly walking in. But something was definitely off. He normally would've smelt food or heard Lucifer around the house. "Lucifer? I'm home. Where are you?" -
"Oh, really? Maybe I wouldn't have." Hunter stuck his tongue out, looking at the cars that drove down the road. "I can help, depending on what it is. We wouldn't want someone to burn down the house without my help in fueling the flames."
Even though the younger brother didn't respond, the camera was sitting right on the table, the shiny surface glinting in the dim light. Lucifer had been asleep the whole time. Not even Phoenix's voice could wake him up. He wasn't having the best dream, but his body didn't want him to wake up just yet. -
"My mom would beat the men out of us if we burned the house down." Damian joked, watching to cross the street. Once it was clear, he hurried across with Hunter, grabbing his key to get inside. "You can help me make something if you really want."
Phoenix growled in annoyance but noticed the camera and grabbed it, turning it on. He searched through the memory and started the video. With each passing second he became more angry with the video. Angry at the boys that tormented his brother, his imposter especially, as well as angry at Lucifer for not calling him. Even if the younger couldn't speak, leaving his phone on, so Phoenix knew what was happening would've worked. But his anger settled when he listened to his brother confess his deepest feelings. "Luci...I'm sorry." He murmured and shut off the camera, going to grab some burn ointment from the bathroom. -
"Aww.. But it would have been fun." Hunter watched Damian. For a while, he had been thinking of scaring the crap out of him. With a grin on his face, he pulled Damian backwards, his own hand on his friend's back as he let him fall dangerously close to the sidewalk. "Boo~!"
When Phoenix's footsteps got closer to Lucifer's door, he woke up, his eyes wide. He thought that Damian and Hunter were there. Screaming, he grabbed his pillows, putting them over him as a fort. He curled into a ball and started crying. "Please don't hurt meeeeeeeeee!" It was then that he realized the footsteps weren't the bullies' but merely his brother's- the penguin stuffed animal was inside of his fort. "Phoenix?" -
Damian let out a high-pitched noise, his heart rate jumping to a much faster pace. He clutched his chest with a shaking hand, hyperventalating and staring up at Hunter with wide eyes. "...Why would you do that...?"
Phoenix was surprised by his brother's screams, but when Lucifer had calmed and asked if it was him, the older smiled at the mound of pillows. "Yes, Lucifer. It's me. Are you alright? Let me see your burns so I can put some ointment on them." He carefully walked over and sat at the edge of his bed. "I know what happened..And at first I was mad, but I know that you've suffered enough. You're staying home tomorrow. I'll be here, and I'll make breakfast for us."
