Lucifer stayed silent, not doing anything for a moment. He so badly wanted to pretend like nothing had happened, but he knew that would only upset his brother more. With shaking hands, he pulled his shirt off to reveal several different marks, cuts, and bruises. Closing his eyes tightly, he muttered, "I got hurt.. It's nothing, I swear."
-
Phoenix stared shocked at the injuries that he knew hadn't been inflicted by him. His jaw tightened as he lightly traced his finger tips down his back. He'd be damned if he let someone get away with harming his brother. Leaning forward, he whispered in Lucifer's ear, "Who did this to you?"
-
"Some punks that are always in detention.. But please, don't do anything rash. It's not like I plan to get stuck in there again, so they won't be able to do it. It was only one kid who had a knife, the rest just kinda used their fists and the chairs.." Lucifer strained his neck to try to look at Phoenix.
-
"They shouldn't be touching you in anyway, at any time, for any reason. I'll come get you tomorrow, so they don't try anything in the case that they don't have detention." He told him and grabbed the cleaning supplies for Lucifer, but also the first aid kit to treat his wounds. "Soon as I'm finished with you, cleanthis room spotless. And don't you ever try to hide something like this from me again."
-
Lucifer sighed, looking away. "I'll make it shiny. And I won't hide it.." To be honest, he hated cleaning, and would rather do other things. He didn't say it out loud. Instead, he sat there, waiting for Phoenix to do whatever he was going to do.
-
"Good." He murmured and grabbed some cotton balls and alcohol. "It's going to sting." He warned as he lightly dabbed one of the more serious cuts. Phoenix didn't realize it, but in order to keep his brother calm, he'd started to rub Lucifer's shoulder to provide comfort. No matter what happened, he would never leave his brother to suffer.
-
The younger boy let out a whimper, tears stinging his eyes. It did sting, and he wanted to start crying. He told himself that it'd only get worse if he didn't let Phoenex clean it up. However, when Lucifer felt his older brother's comforting rub on his shoulder, he sniffled and started to calm down. It felt good. He rubbed his eyes, staying quiet.
-
Phoenix patched up any serious wounds after cleaning them, making sure each bandage was secure against his skin. He walked around to wipe the younger's watering eyes gently. "No one hurts you.." No one except for me, he thought to himself as he cupped Lucifer's cheek. "Tell me if they bother you again, and I'll take care of it."
-
Lucifer leaned into Phoenix's touch, a sigh escaping his lips. "I'll let you know if they try anything through text.. It's not hard to hide it from the teachers since I'm always in the back." He stood up, staring at the floor. "It's past nine, isn't it? I guess that means I'll have to rush to get everything done."
-
"It is but don'tworry about the cleaning. You can do the laundry and dishes tomorrow." His cheeks tinted again when Lucifer relaxed at his touch. How he wished he could just pull his little brother out of school and keep him home forever. "Lucifer...Just stay out of trouble."
-
"I'll try my best, Phoenix." Lucifer rubbed his eyes, sighing. "I don't feel like I can move I'm so tired.. Can you help me get up? I have to finish my homework." He looked up at his older brother, and for the first time in a while, he looked extremely tired and frail.
-
Phoenix's heart cracked at the scene of his brother in such a frail state and immediately picked him up as if he were a child again. "..Would you rather just stay home tomorrow?" He murmured as he carried the teen back to his bedroom and carefully set him at his desk. "If you're not feeling well, you can stay here."
-
Once again, Lucifer rubbed his eyes again, yawning. "That sounds best.. I can scan in my homework and email it to the teachers." He stared at the screen, his mind almost going blank. Sleepily, he said, "I'll clean the house as fast as possible."
-
"I want you to relax right now. Worry about the cleaning tomorrow." Phoenix lightly ruffled Lucifer's hair, unable to look away from him. He swallowed hard ans shifted awkwardly. "Just finish what you need to for school and get some sleep."
-
Continuing to stare at the screen, Lucifer pulled up the document, slowly nodding in agreement to his brother. "20" was at the bottom of the last page he had written on. He was obviously pouring all of his heart into his assignment. "I'll see you in the morning, brother."
