*discounted* Their year (A fan aphmau fic)

Going home part 1 (Zanes story)

⚠️EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THIS CHAPTER IS NOT A SHIP⚠️
*Zanes pov*
I was sitting in a moving car. My parents were both in the front seat talking about something. It was blurred out by my ears. I was tired I guess that is what I get from being controlled by a evil mastermind. Right now we were on our way home from the lodge.

I was trying to sleep but everytime I closed my eyes I got this stress filling my entire body. I was leaning to the window like always. The ride home was 3 hours long. Mom had asked me to try to sleep.

I had woken up from nightmare after nightmare. All were the same. Ein was saying brother over and over again. He was.. Killing Gharrot snapping his neck. This is what he had threatened me with iff I tried to fight back when he layed the potion on me.

One nightmare just felt so real I woke up screaming. Someone had grabbed my hands they were shaking. Gharrot was there.
-Hey.. Hey.. Don't worry I'm here... He reassured me by hugging me.

I was trying not to cry. I had treated him so bad all these years but he was still there. Gharrot didn't let me go. He held me all these 3 hours home. This also made it easier for my too sleep I felt safer.

*Gharrots pov*
I was looking out a window. We were driving home from the lodge. The others went with their parents too. I think Kim went with Lucinda cuz her parents couldn't make it.

I had noticed Zane waking up multiple times. He was usually sweating. But I didn't say anything he needed time. That was until he woke up screaming. That turned on panic mode. I threw myself over to him. I grabbed his hands to reassure him I grabbed his head and rested it on my chest.
-Hey.. Hey.. Dont worry im here.. I tried to reassure him.

He was shaking so I didnt let him go. I leaned back towards the window. Zane didn't move or say a word. I pulled him up so I was holding him tight. My mom was staring worried att Zane. Dad was looking with his eyes but also keeping an eye on the road. Zane had fallen asleep again but he was calm this time. I smiled att this. I wanted him to feel safe again.

(3 hours later)
*Third person*
Garte parked the car outside their house.
-I'll get your luggage you guys go inside. Garte got out of the car.
Zianna turned to them.
-Gharrot get your brother inside he can keep resting on the couch. She asked kindly.
Zane was still sleeping leaning on Gharrots chest.
-Of course mom. Gharrot answered his mother fast.

He looked down on Zane and stroked his hair.
-Hey Zane.. Do you wanna move inside? Gharrot whispered to Zane.
It took some seconds but in response Zane nodded still having his eyes closed. Gharrot put his hand on Zanes back. He then took his other hand under his knees. He was shocked by something. Zanes legs were still shaking. Zane needed something to eat and rest stat.

-Hey Zane.. im going to carry you okay.. Gharrot whisperd to Zane again.
Like last time Zane nodded in response. Zane had dragged his hands so they were digging into Gharrots back.
Gharrot got up Zianna had opened the door for him. He climbed out and proceeded to carry Zane inside the house.

*Gharrots pov*
Mom had opened the door to the house for me. I was holding Zane tight. He was shaking and I knew he was scared. I walked towards our luxury couch. Pays off being rich I guess. I leaned down and placed Zane in a laying position.

I actually couldn't tell iff he was awake or not he looked asleep but he also looked awake. I reached for his mask and dragged it slowly off his face. Under his freckles reveled themselves but also his mouth was clenching like he was in pain. I stroked his hair and sighed. I looked on the rest of his body. He was still in his winter outfit. It must be super hot.

I stood up to get some more comfortable clothes but something grabbed my wrist. It was Zane his eyes were slightly open.
-D..Dont leave me a..again... He stuttered.
My eyes went in shock.. Leave him?..

*Zanes pov*
I grabbed Gharrots wrist he was going to leave me again.. Wasn't he.
-D..Dont leave me a..again... I stuttered out of my mouth.
I saw his eyes go in shock. He leaned down to my level.
-Zane i wont leave you... never. He tried to reassure me.
I felt my face warm up (NOT BLUSH YA SICKOS) I started tearing up. I let small sobs leave my mouth.

Gharrot immediately embraced me. I leaned my head onto his chest. I felt safe.

*Gharrots pov*
I had just embraced Zane. What did he mean leave him... I would never. Did Ein say something to him. God I wish I could've punched that idiot in the face. Im just glad Aaron finished him. (Yeah about that)

I looked down on Zane. He was so small. All these years he's been so big so angry so hostile against physical contact. He's never been this small since we were kids.
-Im going to get you some new clothes to wear. I said to him.
Even tho I didn't want to I let go of him. I jogged to the door. I didn't wanna be away for to long.
-I'll get water too! I said stopping in the door.

I ran out of the room. Maybe a bit to fast cuz I hit a wall and a painting fell down. I rushed into the kitchen. Dad had layed our luggage there. I searched trough Zanes bag. I took out a thin hoodie and some sweatpants. I then ran to the fridge and pulled out a cold water bottle. I proceeded to run out off the kitchen back to Zane. But before I could leave something heavy hit me.
-Give this to your Brother. Mom had thrown a blanket at me.

*Zanes pov*
I heard the door open again. Gharrot jogged in. He walked carefully up to me. He placed two pieces of clothes by the side of the couch along side water and a blanket.
-Here just please relax.. Gharrot stroked my hair.
I nodded in response to this. When Gharrot had walked out I grabbed the clothes. I could admit it was warm so I changed out of my clothes.

Before I got in my hoodie I looked att my back in the mirror. A big scar went right across. Ein had done this when I tried to fight back the potion. I sighed and put on the hoodie. I stumbled back into the couch and layed down. I pulled the blanket over me. I ofcourse tried to drink water but I wasn't really thirsty.

I curled up into a ball under the blanket. I closed my eyes and tried to relax.
