Chapter 2: Sick day
Red groaned rolling over at the sound of crying. Crawling out of bed Red went to the baby. "What's wrong baby Blue? It's sleeping time." Seeing a flushed face and snotty nose Red cooed picking him up and rocking him. "Guess we get the day off hmm?"
Red sent Edge a text saying Blue was sick and asking if the other would grab his homework.
Classic had left him breakfast on the stove saying he loved him and would see him after work and to have a good day.
Edge texted back immediately asking if he should bring some children's medicine as well
Red texted back "if you could that would be great."
Setting the phone down Red smiled to the baby bones. "Let's take a nice bath to cool ya down." Running a bath Red stripped then both down. Sliding into the tub Red laid Blue on his chest rubbing a wet cloth along his bones.
Edge cut school after getting their assignments for the day and went to his home
Red sighed when Blue fell asleep on his chest. Stepping out of the tub he dried them both off putting soft pajamas on and making his way to the couch. Red rocked Blue softly while putting on iron chef, muting the show he put on subtitles so he could watch it while Blue slept.
Soon there was a knock on the door
Red slowly got up slightly rocking to the door and opening it.
Edge stood there arms piled with take out, baby medicine, and homework "hello"
Red chuckled quietly opening the door wider for him. Walking to the couch Red smiled "thank you for bringing all that."
Edge smiled and began setting it on his table "of course!" He said and hushed himself seeing poor Blue "brought baby motrin"
Red smiled going and heating up a bottle. "should probably see if he will take some. could you open it?"
Edge nodded opening it and putting a dose in the bottle
Red mixed the bottle shaking Blue lightly "wake up baby Blue, we gotta get some medicine in you then you can go back to sleep."
Blue gave a small whine fisting his sockets and pouting. reaching for the bottle Blue gave a pitiful sniffle.
Red cooed "poor baby~ big brother Red will help ya feel better."
"I got one of those booger things if we wanna suck the snot out" he said
Red burst into laughter causing Blue to whine and hit him. "Sorry sorry. yeah we can try it after his bottle."
Edge pet the baby "we're gonna take good care of you..."
Blue sucked on his bottle looking up at Edge sleepily.
Red chuckled swaying slightly. "my poor baby Blue. I'm gonna have to beat up those mean guys hm? making my baby sick."
"I threw them in the dumpster this morning but do whatever you want" Edge said
Red's jaw dropped looking to Edge a sparkle of admiration in his eyes. "wow. heh my hero~"
Edge blushed a bit "of course... It is only natural" he said smiling a bit.
Red chuckled raising a bone brow "oh? Do heroes also leave late into the night without saying bye? Heh i thought my brother was you last night. I told you that you could stay over."
"I didn't want to overstep my boundaries" he said
Red nodded understanding. Taking the empty bottle Red put it in the sink and took out the snot sucker. Red chuckled at the title he gave it before sticking it to Blue's nose cavity. Sucking it out Blue scrunched up his face blinking confused and afronted. "Aw sorry baby does that feel weird? It'll help you feel better though." sucking from the other nose cavity Red placed it in the sink. "There! Feel better baby Blue?"
Blue gave a large yawn fisting Red's shirt and leaning into his chest.
"I take that as a yes" Edge said petting the baby smiling. "Is there anything else I can do to help?" He asked Red
Red shrugged "besides keeping me company not much we can do for the little guy. Oh if you'll hold him I'll clean up the dishes." Red gently passed Edge the sleeping baby
Edge smiled and cradled him gently "okay..."
Blue gave a small sigh clinging to Edge's scarf.
Red chuckled snapping a picture before washing the few dishes.
"Red you are amazing" Edge said
Red chuckled looking at him confused "how?"
"You work so hard and take care of a baby I don't know if I could have done it."
Red chuckled "sure ya could. It helps that Blue is such a good baby. All he really crys for is attention and I try to give him plenty of it."
"Heh good baby" he said rocking the little one
Red chuckled leading them back to the couch. "Yeah he's pretty great isn't he?"
"Yeah" he said
Red sniffled swiping away his growing tears. "i just-i love him so much. thank you for yesterday i don't know what i would have done if Blue got hurt. he means everything to me. i just-he's changed my whole life. he's made me so happy."
"He is almost like he's your kid huh?" Edge said
Red froze remembering the months of caring Blue and Classic taking care of him through the rough times. the midnight doctor visits. the lies that it was Classic's baby so Red could live his life free from that scorn. their parents ultimate betrayal and abandonment once they found out. Red gave a wet chuckle "yeah almost like it."
Edge looked at him "you okay?" He asked putting his hand on his
Red sighed swiping his sockets "y-yeah I'm fine."
Edge frowned and hugged him pulling him close "you can talk to me if you want... I'm here for you no matter what..."
Red chuckled as Blue whined wiggling to get back his comfortable spot. Red picked Blue up walking to his crib. "... can i trust you with a secret?"
"You can trust me with anything" the 'because I love you' remained unspoken
Red sighed placing Blue in his crib. Lightly petting his skull Red mumbled "Blue… Blue is actually mine..."
Edge's jaw dropped "what? But how?"
Red blushed dragging Edge out of the room closing the door softly. Sitting on the couch Red hugged his knees to his chest. "I don't really remember much of what happened. I think i was at a party and someone drugged my drink. Next thing i know i'm waking up in the tub Classic rubbing my skull… he promised to help me out and took to fall for me." Red scrubbed away his tears before turning to Edge fire in his eyes. "You have to swear to never tell a soul about this alright!"
Edge was in shock and frowned pulling him close and holding him "your secret is safe with me... I am so sorry..."
Red sighed leaning into Edge's hold. "It's okay. Blue is my baby and i don't regret what happened to make it possible for me to have him in my life."
Edge nodded "I'm sad you have to hide..." He said petting him
Red nodded "frankly i'm just glad our parents just kicked us out and didn't call the police or something."
Edge nodded "me too" he said
Red smiled. "so are you going to be my hero and stay the night and help take care of my precious sick baby?"
"Yeah I will..." He said and nuzzled his skull
Red smiled nuzzling into his side humming happily. "Thanks."
Several times that night both of them got up checking on Blue. they would take turns rocking him and heating up a bottle mixed with medicine. soon both were asleep on the couch. Red wiggled up until he was tucked under Edge's chin on top of his chest. Edge held him lovingly.
