Dim deals with some wounds :)

Dimitri going through some stuff :)

Elmer was happily going about his day, having just finished dinner with his siblings and daughter. He sighed softly, happy to have seen everyone in the house join him. Yes, maybe Dim and Savannah weren't there at the moment, but Savannah was at a school party and Dimitri was out doing.. something. He got up, picking up the clean plates, very glad to see that Manix had eaten his entire plate for today. He gave the younger a ruffle through his hair, complimenting the other on how well he had done for today before picking up the plates and cleaning them. He made quick work on them, not cleaning multiple times but deeming once enough. He soon put the plates back where they belonged, after which he made his way back to the living room. He looked up as the door opened, waving slightly to his brother.

Dimitri shivered as he entered the house, biting down a groan as his wounds rubbed against his skin, having increased in pain after his day had started. He closed to door, ignoring how off his balance was and how awful he felt. Ignoring the fuzz in his mind, he walked into the living room. He barely registered it as someone waved at him, looking to wave back but tripping, falling pretty harshly on his back which caused a wave of absolute agony to go through his body. His yell of pain died in his throat as darkness took over his vision

Elmer watched as his brother tripped, falling onto his back. The other had passed out by now, but he was still frozen from the pain he had seen flash over his brother's face for a split second. He carefully scooped the other up, feeling guilty when he heard the other groan and softly sob. Elmer soon put Dimitri's body on the couch, making sure to lie him on his stomach as he felt the other's forehead. It was *burning.* He yelped slightly, calling upstairs towards Manny and Warren to get him a few blankets, since the other seemed to be seriously ill. Noticing how Dims shirt seemed to stick to his back slightly, he flipped the other around, apologising profusely as his older brother let out a sob once more.

He carefully undid the buttons, bearing the others' chest. He froze slightly as he saw the bruises spotting Dimitri's body, knowing he was the cause of some of them. He flipped the older onto his stomach once more, slowly removing the shirt and gasping slightly at the red streaks on his arms. His brother winced as he made sure the shirt got unstuck before fully removing his blouse. He couldn't help but yelp as yellow, pus-leaking streaks seemed to be littered across the others' back. He softly pressed against one of them, watching the reaction as Dimitri clawed at the couch, arching his back away from the touch and waking up, letting out a groan and pressing his face into the couch to muffle anything else. He bit into the stuffing as the other pressed against his wounds once more, mind too fuzzy to stop the sob and short scream from getting out. Elmer backed away in concern, watching as his older brother shook, seemingly waiting for something with his hands held above him to claw at the couch. It seemed that how the other had placed himself was very.. practised. He left the room to grab some tissues, alcohol and bandages.

When he returned, he noticed that Manny and Warren had gathered around the sick Dimitri as well. He got in between them, already apologising before softly spreading alcohol across the wounds. They all flinched as the older cried out, begging them "Pl-please, I've been good, I cl-cleaned everything, I d-didn't talk to anyone, please. I just want some sleep, ill be u-up in a few minutes  I *promise*, just please let me r-rest" Begging them not to hurt him again. Elmer mumbled some curses under his breath as he continued cleaning the wounds, promising the other that he had been good. As he finished cleaning he could finally see all the wounds clearly, hissing at the sight. He left the room to call a doctor, noting that the other's breathing pattern seemed very irregular and that he was *very* ill. Once he had relayed the symptoms a doctor immediately responded by stating that they would be there in a few minutes and that he should keep the other awake. Elmer returned to the living room, apologising once more before cleaning the wounds, clenching his eyes shut as the other screamed, before begging them to stop, saying that he had been a good boy today, that he had done all they had asked of him, that he was willing to try and stitch up his wounds again, no matter how much it hurt to bend his back or even sit against the back of a chair.

Both Manny and Elmer felt guilty, they had not noticed anything wrong when they had given their older brother hugs, only noting some gasps or a moment to respond, but nothing weird besides that. The worst thing about this situation was that Dimitri seemed to fall silent far too quickly, not even fighting back besides arching his back away from the cleaning wipe. Soon enough doctors arrived. They made the brothers get out of the way before placing Dimitri in the ambulance. Elmer agreed to come along in the ambulance, squeezing his older brother's hand to ensure that the other stayed awake and knew that he was not alone in the current moment. The other seemed on the edge of passing out as he gripped onto the edge of the bed, not having been put in his back since that is the most injured place of his entire body. Elmer watched as they took Dimitri into surgery, the other struggling against the gas entering his system and trying to push the people surrounding him away before passing out.

Elmer waited impatiently as time ticked on, tapping his foot against the ground as he was nervous, sincerely hoping everything would be alright with his older brother, since the other seemed to be quite ill. He sighed softly until his name was mentioned. He was led along to Dimitri's room. When he entered, his older brother seemed to still be asleep, his breathing supported by a machine as the slow beeping from his heart rang out throughout the room. He could barely look at the other seeing how pale and vulnerable he looked. He stepped out of the room, calling Warren and Manny, warning both of them that their older brother was still very much asleep. As the two arrived he showed them inside. They couldn't help but gasp at his bad state, staring at their sleeping brother. Sitting down aside him, Dimitri woke up far too soon to be healthy. He looked around, confused and disoriented, still slightly fuzzy in his brain. He did not even yell out as the pain in his back started increasing once more. He simply let it happen, gritting his teeth and only letting out a soft sob. Their heads snapped towards him at that, realising he had very much been holding back his pain for them.

Manny softly took his hand "hey, y-you can cry, I-it's alright, they're not h-here.." that seemed to help as their older brother began to sob, pain taking over his system as his heartbeat increased quickly. He gasped for air in between sobs, tightly holding the grip to make sure his younger brother didn't feel alone while he tried to reign in his crying. It didn't succeed as he soon enough passed out, his hand going slack in the others. The twins could only watch as he passed out once more. They sighed softly, having made sure that he is alright now and not as much in pain as before. They softly held Manny, sitting by the bed and remaining there, only leaving for food and showers. They waited patiently until Dimitry was released, the four finally capable of hugging and sitting together without having to worry. Finally being allowed to relax.
