"I...uh...I-" there was a loud bang on the neighboring wall, at least it gives me time to come up with a decent explanation. Maybe even have them meet Stella. I rush out of the kitchen to investigate the noise, just in time to see Marvul storm out of the house. I'll have to check on him later, right now I'm main concern is the crying blob of goop on the couch. The front door slams behind me, and I know Eraser just left, probably to chase down Marvul.

I slowly approach the couch, to find Reboot doing his best to calm Halluciv, I squat down in front of the two, but with a quick glance out of the corner of my eye, I see Serif and Dream looking wide eyed from the hallway. I glare at them, sending them quickly away so I can talk to the two in front of me without distraction.

"Can you tell me what happened?" I direct the question towards Reboot, while Halluciv dries his tears.

"Halluciv and I were building a pillow fort, when Marvul walked in and told us to stop, calling us 'babies' for such childish behavior. Halluciv tried his best to defend us, but was only shot down when Marvul called him a 'disgusting excuse for anyone's nightmare'. Then you walked in." Reboot chenches his fists as he finishes, his own anger building.

"Do you mind going to grab a box of tissue out of the bathroom upstairs?" I ask him, I feel kind of bad. There are no tissues in the upstairs bathroom, but it will give me time alone to talk to Halliciv. Reboot nods and leaves to find the non existent tissues. I turn my attention back to the situation at hand.

I lay my hand gently against his leg, his head snaps up.

"Please...please don't hurt me! I'm sorry I didn't mean it, it won't happen again! I promise." His eyes dart over my face wildly, he doesn't recognize me.

"Hey, buddy, Hallucive! It's me! Y/ n! I'm not going to hurt you." I wait for him as he slowly relaxes, the fog clearing in his sockets as recognition slowly takes shape in them instead. Fat tears well up in them and pour down his face.

"...why can't he see that I'm trying my best?" I pull him against me while he sobs, what the hell is Marvuls problem? This is his brother for God's sake! I'm putting a stop to this...tonight. I gently pull Halluciv away from me, looking into his eye sockets.

"Hey, wanna see something cool?" He sniffs and nods.

"Can...can Reboot see too?"

"Of course. Follow me." I stand and head for the stairs, stopping by the bathroom to grab Reboot. I snort at the mess Reboot made looking for the tissues.

"I can't find them anywhere!" He stomps his foot in frustration.

"No worries! Why don't you come with us, we gonna go check out something cool!" I start to walk out for the bathroom, but hearing his and Halluciv's quick foot steps behind me makes me smile ear to ear. They chat quietly as we approach Stellas room. I place my hand on the cool copper knob, but turn around to sush the other two.

"You gotta keep quiet, so you don't scare her." They tilt their heads in confusion but silence themselves anyway. I slowly open the door and walk in, the other two hot on my heals. For the giant beasts they are, they can be surprisingly stealthy. Now upon Stellas crib, I pick up her wiggling body and cradle her in my arms.

I turn back around slowly so I don't aggravate her. They approach the baby slowly, their eyes huge with curiosity.

"What is that?" Reboot asks, I laugh.

"It's a baby, this is what humans look like when they are first born. Would you like to hold her?" Reboot seems a little put off by the question, but Halluciv holds out his arms willingly ready to take hold of the baby. I pass her into his arms, he holds her close, cooing and snuggling her. Reboot hovering next to him, both of them showering her with love.

I sigh and sit down in a rocking chair, quietly listening to them giggle and laugh as they play with the baby. After a little while, I leave the room, ready to find the culprit behind Halluciv's pain. I pass by the kitchen as Blue is preparing dinner.

"Y/n! Dinner is almost complete!"

"Save me a plate, I'll be right back..." I listen to the soft click of the front door shutting behind me as I start my search.

...

It's been a half hour, is completely dark, and I'm not so sure if I still know where I am. I start to turn back, but stop when I hear a pair of familiar voices.

"What the hell is your problem?!"

"That has nothing to do with you!"

"If it's got anything to do with Reboot, it's got something to do with me!"

"Your all disciple, trying to defend each other! It makes me sick!"

"When you die alone, I hope you remember what you just said." I see something leave in the assumed direction of the house. I approach the remaining shadow. Getting closer, the figure takes the shape of Marvul. He yells out into the darkness and punches a tree, leaving a splintering hole in his fists wake.

He gasps and doubles over, clutching his now injured hand.

"Need some help?" I call out, he whips around, his fighting stance ready. He relaxes when he sees that it's me.

"I don't need help from the likes of you." I glance down at his bruised and bleeding hand.

"There's first aid supplies at the house, and it's getting a bit late out here..." I turn and start walking, I peak over my shoulder, to find the clearing empty. I shrug, I'm sure he'll be in the house when I get back.

...

I drag my self into the dark and quiet house, I had to have walked at least a full mile to get there and back. In the kitchen, I find a plate with my name on it, oh Blue. I heat it up and eat it quickly, ready to get to bed, I'm exhausted. I find Marvul, further destroying the bathroom that Reboot had previously occupied, I'm going to have to clean that later, aren't I? I enter the bathroom without a word and grab the first aid kit.

"Sit." I point to the closed toilet seat lid, he growls and plops down. Kneeling in front of him, I start to patch up his hand. First, I remove his glove.

"Care to explain today's events?" I ask, not bothering to look up at him. His hand starts to curl into a fist, but I pull his fingers apart. He winces as I start to remove little splinters of wood from in between the cracks and crevices of his palanges.

"Don't move."

"Your just going to yell at me for it, anyway."

"Not without reason, so tell me, why did you do it?" He doesn't answer right away, instead watching me work as I start to wipe off the blood and dirt from his hand.

"...I don't mean to be this way..." I nod to let him know I'm listening.

"But...I don't know...I just don't have the best temper, and sometimes...things just...slip out..." I start to apply a cooling ointment to help with the remaining wounds.

"I don't mean them, but I can't take them back either..." his body shakes trying to fight back tears.

"I don't want to be like this, but I can't just change who I am." A few lemon yellow tears drip onto his now bandaged hand as I finish wrapping it up. I stand up and sigh, tilting his chin up.

"This isn't your fault, okay? But if you want to get better, were going to have to start with an apology, here..." I hand him is glove back and go open the door.

"I want you up at 5am tomorrow."

"What! Why?"

"Were making breakfast." I shut the door to the bathroom and hurry to my room, leaving him to stew about tomorrow.

Quick note: I'm planning on making Marvul and Eraser y/ n's soul mates as well at some point..

So...yeah...Kay thx bye.
