Chapter 02 - Blood ,Lush , Love , Lust
They could have had it either way they wanted . Someone could come and cook, clean , make dinner and breakfast , arrange their clothes and keep watch . But Yazoo kindly scolded all these things away , with both his brothers backing him up .
And thus , slowly , a quiet order was installed in the house and Yazoo found himself learning to cook and from time to time , Kadaj rolled up the sleeves of his black sweater and washed the dishes . Loz , barefoot , in his jeans and black T-shirt hummed a song as he was carrying out the garbage in black garbage sacks , and whisteled to the same tune when he moved the couch and the tables and all other furniture while Yazoo cleaned the rooms .
It made them feel closer to the world they have been brought to but in the same time distanced them from any other unnecessary human contact .
Yazoo frowned , looking at the herbs mixture boiling on the stowe . It looked odd , even though he had cooked it before but last time it didn't had this greenish color to it .He never liked doing it , but it was Loz's favourite .
" What is it ?" Loz came in the kitchen noticing his brother's frown .
Yazoo didn't reply , but dipped his finger in the hot mixture , enjoying the stingy pain it gave to him and as it crawled up to his other fingers and his palm , then looked at it as it started driping lower and lower down his finger .
" I don't think I got it right this time ... " He said in his low voice .
Loz tilted his head a bit before taking Yazoo's hand into his and his mouth touched his finger , as his tongue slipped vaguely on it also . Yazoo stood pale and calm , with no expression on his face , waiting for an answer .
"It's just as good as always " Loz replied , smiling and exiting the room .
Yazoo turned back to the stowe and dipped the same finger back and tasted it too . Yeah , it was ok .
But his finger didn't left the tip of his lips until he heard Kadaj 's voice from the other room .
Walking across the large hallway , at a slow pace , as he always did , Yazoo was ready for anything .
Lately , Kadaj suffered more than one transformation , and even if many were internal ones , it didn't skipped the pain and panic attacks from the smaller brother . He and Loz been through that also , but he knew Kadaj 's adolescence would be a whole lot different than theirs . Because he had another bit of something he couldn't quite explain .And he didn't care that much , the only thing that bothered him was his pain , because it was a pain that cut right through him also , and he always been there , with his calm and glacial eyes , trying to freeze Kadaj's pain , but never succeded greately at it . Loz was the only one that managed to get the small one in his powerful arms , lock him tight and keep him there until he calmed down and the pain was nothing but a quiet thud in the back of his mind .
As he looked for the place where Kadaj was in , he finally found it as being the bathroom and entered it pushing the door to the wall , expecting the worse .
But Kadaj didn't seem to be in more pain than usual , the only thing that didn't fit was Loz that was not clutching to him , but he was bend all over , looking confused with both his hands on Kadaj's hair and face, looking at his ear .
"What are you doing ?" Yazoo asked.
" I wanted to pierce my ear ,and Loz helped me , but now it's stuck and Loz says it's bleeding." Kadaj said , in his deep , calm tone . He showed no sign of pain , but Loz took his hands away and Yazoo saw his fingers were covered in a bit of blood .
He stepped between the two , with Loz behind him , watching his every move and evaluated the situation . The earring was beautiful indeed, a work of art , a silver tribal motif , so shiny it almost made him lose himself in the detail .He figured Loz must have had the same reaction and did a small mistake .
He put three of his fingers on his ear and pushed suddenlly and the earring went on the other side in a blink . Kadaj didn't even blink at it , just his eyes moved to the corner to see Yazoo .
"It's done ?"
"It's perfect." Yazoo replied . He brushed away his brother's locks from his face and touched his earlobe with his tongue and lips . He sucked on it slowly and finished when he knew the blood stopped running , and then kissed his ear...no he didn't kiss it , he just brushed it with his lips in such a way Kadaj felt it as if it was nothing but a breeze of hot air .
The small one then got up and looked in the mirror , as he pulled his silver locks away from that part of his face to let his ear in sight . It fitted him and he knew it .
He smiled at the other two then got out of the bathroom without saying a word.
Well it was no need for words anyway , they barely ever spoke . They never needed words.
Yazoo turned to Loz and gave one of his faint smiles people could barely see , and Loz smiled back to him as they started walking out of the bathroom and heading towards the living room .
"Kadaj is growing up . " Yazoo whispered . He didn't whisper...he talked , but Loz knew other people would have regarded it as a whisper.
"Yes..." He replied .
Yazoo had a fear about Kadaj growing up , a fear induced to him ,because he knew deep inside that Kadaj will remain Kadaj , no matter what else happened to him .
He stopped in the middle of the hallway causing Loz to stop too , and turned to look at him over his shoulder .
The taller man said nothing , but brushed away the hair from his face and leaned his cheek on his head for a couple of moments . Just a few moments...
He knew what Yazoo was thinking about , of course he knew . And he reasurred him everything will be alright .
