Asch groaned in his sleep some as he felt the heat of his body rise some. Green eyes opened and a grumble from him as he'd look down to see familiar red hair and the sensation of being nuzzled coursed through him. The male sighed as a bare hand went through the hair and the other body whimpered. "Hey drek… It's just a rainstorm…" The male murmured and since there was no one to see him, he cuddled against his twin. "We are okay." He whispered into the other's ear. Luke had snuck in once gain and fallen asleep next to his brother while crying. The sound of the other's voice soothed him from his nightmares and he hummed.

The storm would rage throughout the night, and yet at the first sign of light, asch would pull from his twin with a sigh. Moving from his bed, he poked his head outside his bedroom door, not a soul in the halls yet, it was the perfect time. A weak whine of protest would be heard from Luke as his body was lifted from the bed, green eyes rolling to his twin's complaints he carried him to his own room and put him in his sheets. " I'm not explaining to dad or mom why you still cuddle me." He whispered to the stirring boy, Smirking when Luke pouted and had grabbed the more serious twin's hand in protest to him leaving, though not yanking it to keep him. " Stay…" Luke pleaded lowly and Asch sighed but pulled his hand from him. " You know better. Go on and go back to sleep. They'll think you are ill if you are up early."

As he would close the door to Luke's room, the older twin came face to face with a blond male who served their family for some time. " Oh! Guy! You gave me a scare… Why are you up so early?" Asch spoke in hushed tone and Guy perked a brow and looked to the door he moved from. "I could ask the same thing and why you are coming from Master Luke's room." The other retorted and Asch scoffed and deadpanned. " Why are YOU approaching his room early then and alone? No training is scheduled today." The blond haired man blushed a crimson red at the older twin snickered before leaning against his own door. "Come here, Servant."

The blond blinked but followed easily to the twin crooking his finger and giving him a come hither look. The servant following the man into the bedroom and closing the door behind him, it would lock to the outside world. In his own room, Luke sat up, much better a listener than his family or friends ever gave him credit for. His cheeks flustered, knowing exactly what Asch and Guy would do, he pouted in his jealousy before scoffing and throwing his blankets over his head and burying himself in his pillows.

Luke sighed as he pulled his white T-shirt down and the doctor gave a hum as he made some notes on his clipboard. A routine he had become accustomed to every few weeks since he was a child. After an incident as a child where both him and his brother had been kidnapped, Luke had always been a more frail twin though he never let many others know it. It wasn't the first appointment his parent's missed, but his twin was right next to him and now holding his hand. "Well? Any change?" Asch spoke up for them and the doctor frowned and scrunched his nose. "Yes… and No." Asch growled and glared at the man. " What the hell does that mean?!"

The younger of the two gripped the familiar hand tighter and looked ot an identical pair of green eyes. " H-hey calm down!" The doctor having ignored the outburst from the more volatile twin, he wrote down more notes. "Well Master Luke, you are physically improving, outwardly… But, something is off with you, internally." Luke looked a bit spooked and confused where as Asch actually looked worried. " What do you mean?" Luke inquired softly. The doctor looked them up and down and then back to Luke. " He doesn't have to be in here if you don't want him to know…" The doctor having long since gotten use to the rest of Luke's family coping with his conditions by simply ignoring or remaining ignorant of the issues the younger twin had, anytime Asch came, things often got violent with Asch blaming the doctoring staff for anything negative.

Luke shook his head. " N-no, it's okay, what's up?" He inquired softly and the doctor furrowed his brow. " You're separating at the seams." The older twin for once didn't respond with violence, and instead paled, where as Luke stiffened and then just looked to the ground. " O-oh! Oh…. Because of?" He didn't finish the question but the doctor nodded and sighed. " It's not that unusual with twins though. We've never been able to explain it, and you've lived much longer than the average twin… But the trauma is we-" " GET OUT! Get out of my fucking house!" Asch would scream before actually pushing the man out of his way and pulling a confused Luke with him.

On their path to where ever Asch was taking them, they bumped into Guy who was confused when Asch for once didn't acknowledge him at all and Luke barely got out a ' Hi' and then a ' Bye' as he was pulled along. Throughout their estate he was dragged till he found himself standing in their old nursery and Asch closed the door and locked it, leaning against it with an angry growl and then sigh. Luke sort of just stood there without anything to really say at first. "Asch, it's not your fa-" " I know that! I know that very well damn it! But it's not fair!" The younger twin tilted his head at his counterpart's distress and watch him kick an old toy and then sit in a rocking chair with a rather pathetic pout, venting in his own way. Luke sighed softly and held a bitter smile, he moved to be on his knees besides the other and his head rested on Asch's lap with a hum. " Hey, we had a good run. Mom and Dad don't even pay attention to me anymore. It's not a big deal anymore. Just, don't tell anyone at school… Okay?" Asch growled and pulled Luke from the ground and into his lap.

"You'll break the chair stupid, put me down!" Luke protested with a weak laugh, Asch held him close and nuzzled his face against Luke's chest and said nothing as his own eyes watered for once and Luke blinked before petting his brother's head. " Hey now, what's with these waterworks. I'm the crybaby, didn't you just bring me to my bed this morning?" Asch mumbled something incoherently against the other and Luke remained petting him. "They just started letting me go outside again too… We were still suppose to go see the Ocean together. And go to the Festivals around the kingdom… I even got to go to school with you finally… I'm learning so much…" The younger spoke in soft but cracking voice, his own tears finally coming up and falling too. Asch would look up into his mirrored image and frown before nuzzling his brother's cheek. "N-no! No don't think like that! We'll fix this! I'll get da to find someone, something! Anything! You'll see!" Asch tried to encourage his brother to not cry, knowing his own waterworks weren't helping the situation but they wouldn't stop falling.

Luke chuckled bitterly and yet he enjoyed being close with his brother. Before he could say much more, the chair finally started to creak and crack, and after a moment of them struggling to try and get up, they both feel a short distance to the ground after the chair broke beneath their weight. Asch groaning and Luke following before Luke laughed despite his tears and Asch grumbled. "It's not that funny!" Luke laughed harder and Asch pushed his brother off before snickering under his own breath and wiping away his tears. " It so is! I told you it would!" Asch scoffed. " Yeah yeah, okay smarty pants, not all of us can be the logical one 24/7" The twins laughed together despite their recent grim news. " I'm pretty sure that's actually you like 90% of the time." Luke mocked. " I will throw this broken chair at you!" "What!? No! Hey! Wait! Stop! I'm sorry!" The other pleaded as he fumbled to the door and with it's lock to try and run out, being successful till her turned a corner and a curious Guy was crashed into and landed a top of. " Ugh, ow! Guy? Oh, sorr-Aaah!"

Luke would have finished his apology had his brother not slid out of the room, looking ready to attack his brother though not violently, more in a tickling method. " Guy! Protect me from your boyfriend! Go shield go!" Luke spoke yanking the other up and the confused blond turned as red as the twins hair as the jest from Luke was so bold and both him and Asch denied any kind of relations. Though such denial was not heard by an already exited Luke and the two were left with bright red cheeks and their own confused feelings of their implied relationship knowing full well how their physical relations went.
