Nights like those
He hated it to look after the watch that hung on the wall. But, as if following an inner constraint, his eyes fell upon the luminescent hands of the clock, which ceaselessly and without consideration, continued to move around.
It was after twelve o'clock and Albedo was still wide awake inside his bed.
Many days had passed like this. To be precise since the day, when Dimitri had forbidden him to share the same bed with his brother.
How he hated her...
He believed, that he could hear every movement of the other URTVs next to him. How disharmonious their breathing sounded, how annoying all their different heartbeats were. Never did he feel so alone in the, actually totally crowded, sleeping room, in the middle of the Yuriev institute.
Again without caring a straw about him, the second hand performed another circle.
Tic, tac, tic, tac.
Silently his tears fell on the pillow, which he used to muffle his sobbing.
Oh, how he hated the clock already...
Gentle steps echoed from the cold floor. Someone was approaching him.
"Albedo, I told you hundreds of times that I can't stand it when you are crying. I can't sleep that way!"
The white haired boy shot up as if stung by an adder and starred into the darkness. Delight flooded though him. He had a hard time not to wrap his arms immediately around his twin and, in doing so, to betray his weak spot.
"I didn't cry! I was quiet the entire time."
"Che, come on, as if I wouldn't hear it, even when we would be at the opposing side of the galaxy! But fine, when you are alright, I can return to my own bed again!"
Rubedo wanted to turn around, when he felt a tug on his t-shirt. Aha, I knew it!, the redhead thought to himself.
The leader of the URTVs was pulled towards the bed and laid down next to his brother, who instantly closed his arms around him and snuggled up to his twin.
He just heard a content sigh and felt how Albedo relaxed. Shortly after that, the younger one had fallen asleep.
A last time Rubedo ran his hand lovingly through the albino's hair and closed his eyes as well.
"I couldn't stand this clock too..."
