"Not now Ciel, later." was the answer he always got those past weeks from his Family. But tonight he wouldn't allow them to turn him down again, it was Family Friday (Night) after all and they already missed the last few. Not to forgot his missing bedtime stories.
Ciel filled his daily Bagpack with everything he needs for the moment; colouring book, crayons, his Superhero Action Figures Harley Quinn and some other things. Now to a important question, which Superhero should he hold in his Hand today? Batman or Wonder Women? Ah. Wonder Dia will be the lucky one today!
«Are you ready Dia? We won't give up this time! Uhh which Book for tonight?» as he kept looking through the Bookshelf, Ciel felt a wave of sudden hotness rushing through his body. His hands begun to lose their strength, making it hard to grab something and it wasn't long till Wonder Women was falling to the ground. The small Hero wouldn't be alone on the ground for long, then Ciel's legs were going limp, bringing his knee's to buckle in.
He closed his eyes for a few seconds, trying to still breath at a normal rate. He couldn't move his legs nor his arms for the moment and he wasn't sure if he could scream for his Brother's to come and help him.
«Don't worry Dia, till Christmas I will be fixed! At least thats what Daddy told me but he also said, if everything goes as planned it will happen before my Birthday.» He could move his fingers again but it would take a few more minutes to recover fully.
«Uhh ohh, I know I should tell Daddy about it, that I had an Episode today...but than I wouldn't be allowed to leave my Room at all...so we won't tell him that! It's gonna be a secret between us, Dia! Ok? Ok.» Ciel took Wonder Woman in his hands again, got on his feet again and begun his search for a Book again. Guess How Much I Love You in the Summer.
Dick was the easiest to find. Standing in the Kitchen eating a bowl of Cornflakes and doing something else at the same time. Ciel stood before him, reaching up and tugging at his Older Brother's shirt. Smiling.
Dick stopped half way his eating and looked down, smiling apologetically softly at his Baby Brother.
«I'm sorry Duckling. I can't play today I'm a bit in a rush, but you can ask Jason, he's probably in the Garage again» and before Ciel could say something, Dick drowned the last chunk of his Cornflakes down and rushed out.
«Should we bring Jai-Jai some Cookies Dia? Yeah I think he will like Chocolate» He climbed onto the Counter, open the second Cabinet and pulled out a small bag of Cookies.
It was more or less forbidden for Ciel to be (alone) in the Garage. They always say it's too dangerous and he could get hurt easily, but the House was also a dangerous place sometimes. So this rule wasn't taken quite serious by him at all.
Jason didn't notice him as he walked in, too busy checking and repairing one of the Cars. Ciel placed the Cookie Bag next to a rusty-reddish Toolbox. Maybe he could ask Jason, if he could paint it a bit prettier than it was. Some flowers on it and a other background colour, would make it look a lot nicer and Ciel was sure it would Jason Cheer up or would make his day a bit better.
Jason hummed to the music he blasting through the Ear buds he wore. Probably some Rock or Metal.
«Let's help Jai-Jai» mumbled Ciel, placed Wonder Dia next to the rusty Toolbox and looked over the different sizes of Tool's; which were laying on the ground in some kind of order. Ciel took one of the smaller looking tools and held it up for his Big Brother.
Jason was now quietly singing the song, sometimes tapping his finger on something or he would make some dance moves here and there. Absentmindedly he took the Tool from Ciel's hand, not bothering to look at the small child nor at the Tool. He was to absorbed into the Music at the moment to notice it anyways.
Jason blinked shortly, looking at his left hand and wondering why he picked the wrong Tool up. He unplugged one of his Earbuds, wiped his greasy hand on the Rag next to him and mumbled, «What the fuck?»
Jason turned sideways, his facial expression turned into a neutral and unimpressed one as he came face to face with his little Brother; who smiled big and held up another, not fitting, tool for him.
«Ciel. You know the rule for the Garage pretty well, so whatcha want?» sighed Jason and crossed his Arms as he waited for an answer. Ciel placed the Tool down again, picked up Dia and the Cookies and just held them up,
«I brought you some Cookies, Jai-Jai, and I thought when I help you, you will be finish faster and than you could play with me! Uh, they are Chocolate by the way» he put the Bag down again.
Jason sighed loudly and picked Ciel up, holding him like a Toddler. He was still a Toddler.
«That's really a pretty thought of you Kiddo, but I don't need your help right now and You know damn well that you aren't allowed in here. So go annoy Timber or something.» He placed Ciel on the Floor and locked the Door with a slam.
Ciel once smiling lips morphed slowly into a sad frown.
Tim sat huddled in his Office Chair, sipping a large Monster Coffee Cup while scrolling through his Social Media. The Room was almost completely dark, the only light source were his PC's, which also illuminated his already tired face. Constant typing from the Keyboard was the only sound to hear. Tim was so absorbed into the typing and fixed onto the Screen, he wouldn't notice anything else in his surroundings.
As Ciel opens the door, a almost rotten smell filled his nostrils and lungs, making his face scrunched up in disgust. Tim really needs to leave his Windows open and he also need to clean the Room. If Ciel was being honest, he really don't want to take another step into his Brother Room at all, but he was determined to get at least two pages read out to him.
Ciel stood next to his tired looking Teen Brother,
«Tim? Can you read to me something or can we play?» his voice was soft as he spoke, he wasn't sure if Tim had even heard him at all. He repated his question and his small hand reached up to touch his Big Brother's bare arm. That was the Trigger.
Tim was more than just startled. He screeched like a Banshee, jumped from his Chair in a hasty manner and at the same time he spilled his Coffee not only over himself but also over his desk. Ciel just stood there, eyes wide like the ocean as he watched Tim; how he stumbles through the Room, screaming and cursing. And then silence. Tim breathed heavily, his heart was beating way too fast for his own liking. «Tim?» that was the Voice of his little Brother. Little devil-child.
Tim stared at Ciel wordless, blinked once, twice, then he narrowed his eyes in fuming anger.
«You! How many times have I told you, that I don't have the time for your Childish antics?! I also told you more than once, that you shouldn't bother me while I work! Now. Just look at the mess you've done! Dear god. Just go away, go to Damian and bother him.» Tim didn't even look at Ciel's face, to busy trying not to punch something.
Ciel felt the tears in his eyes, he didn't mean to make Tim angry or hurting him in any way. He walked out of the room, but the words Tim spoke next, broke his little heart.
«Bothersome annoying brat.»
Ciel was on his way to the garden, if he was lucky Damian would maybe allow him to feed some of the Animals. He hoped he could. He passed the Kitchen and stopped as Damian walked out, «No Ciel. You can't play with my Pets or feed them today or any other day. And no, you can't come with me too. You will just distract me and I don't need that.» with that said, Damian walked away.
«Oh Dia, what do we do? Yeah...we should buy them something and then apologise.»
Ciel stood outside the small convenience Store, trying to figuring out how to transport the bag home with his tricycle. A shadow was covering him, someone stood behind him.
«Mommy finally found you! It's time to go home.» spoke the Person, Ciel turned around in confusion.
