"Inpu honey, please go to bed." Bryan begged his sleep-deprived husband to abandon his work once more, it was late and Bryan was tired and wanted to snuggle his hubby but Inpu wouldn't budge.

Bryan loves how passionate and self-sacrificing his husband was about this Prophecy-Artefacts business but it wouldn't kill him to put down his scrolls and papyruses for a single night.

"Bryan, this is important and not just for Atlantis but the whole world. I have to do this." Inpu told him bitterly. He didn't want to do it but he felt obligated too.

The dark, dark circles under his droopy eyes though told Bryan that enough was enough.

"Inpu, you're going to bed." Bryan demanded, ripping the papers from Inpu's hands. "Bryan!" He snapped.

Bryan pulled Inpu from his desk, "C'mon!" He heaved but the jackal was stronger than him.

"For Ra's sake!" Inpu, too tired to think straight, too annoyed to realise what was about to happen.

*Smack*

It was loud and Bryan fell over.

Inpu's eyes widened as he stared at his husband, who was now holding his reddening cheek on the floor.

"Ouch..." Bryan muttered. He turned to look at his husband who had his hands over his mouth. "I... I... I..." he kept repeating.

"I'm so sorry..." was the last thing Inpu said before running off, he was wide awake now and he ran out of the mansion.

"What have I done! What have I done! What have I done!" He couldn't stop saying it, until he ran into... Magnus?

Only he didn't look at who he bumped into to and he was about to keep running until he heard them say "Inpu?".

He turned to look at them, tears rolled down his face and his eyes were all puffy. "M-Magnus?" He jittered, he struggled to speak.

"Inpy? What's wrong?" They asked the crying jackal but he just sputtered nonsense.

Magnus hugged him tightly but Inpu didn't hug back, what if he hurts them too?

"I- I- wasn't thinking!" He cried, "B-Bryan... I hurt him!" He wanted to sulk in shame, to hide until the sky fell but he wasn't a coward, even though he felt like one.

"You hurt Bryan? But you love Bryan." Magnus spoke softly, trying to calm their hysterical brother.

"I know! But I-I was tired- and he was t-telling me to go to bed as I h-haven't slept a-and I got angry and I-I-I- I hit him..." Inpu explained the situation and all Magnus could do was sigh.

Their brother has always been stubborn and when he had his mind set on something, it's near impossible to get him to do anything else. It'd been that way since they were kids.

And Inpu's always had a short fuse, Inpu would get cross with Solis and his impulsivity. It wasn't anything knew, he would just hit Solis with a book whenever he made him angry.

But after coming to camp, they both realised it wasn't healthy to hit people when you were angry with them. But it's hard to break habit.

"Bryan hates me..." Inpu mumbled. He was tired and his heart ached. "I'm a monster Maggy." He claimed.

"You are not a monster, a monster doesn't cry on their siblings shoulder about the bad things they've done. A monster doesn't care, you do.

Bryan doesn't hate you, I don't think he's capable of hating you, he might be mad at you but you too just need to work it out.

Inpy, this marriage is still new. Mistakes are gonna happen and you just need to learn from them." Magnus finished, still holding their sniffling brother.

"When did you get so poetic?" He asked them, slightly smiling at the words and advice.

"I got bored and read a book. But never mind that. Go. Go find Bryan and apologise!" Magnus ordered.

And with that Inpu left.

Magnus stared at the sky. "I'm gonna hit him later with my blow gun." They grinned.

Inpu sped home and he jogged up the stairs, he was nervous but he had to apologise properly.

"Bryan?" He whispered as he made his way to their bedroom. 'Maybe he was asleep.' He though and as he glanced into their room. He quickly realise he was wrong, Bryan was just sitting on their bed crying.

It broke his already aching heart.

He got closer and his footsteps alerted Bryan, Bryan's head whipped upwards and to the side where he was met with his husband.

"Inpu?" He said cautiously, getting up from their bed.

Inpu gulped. "Bryan.

I'm so sorry. I love you so much. I truly do and I know that me being tired isn't an excuse to hit you and you were just looking out for me as you always have.

I need to work on my self, and my temper because I'm aware that I'm a lot to handle, I'm bad with people and communicating.

I swear to you that I will try, I will try to be better. Not just for you but for our family and friends. And I swear-" Inpu was cut off with Bryan hugging him.

"It's okay." Was all he said, Inpu felt tears welling up in his dark eyes. He hastily hugged back.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." he muttered, "I love you so much." Inpu pecked Bryan's forehead.

"I love you too, and we'll work through this. Okay?" Bryan told him.

Inpu nodded.

They will be okay.
