Just Let Me Sleep

Brick wall.....

3 pov

Xander found himself wondering the halls...if you could call it wondering he was slowly stumbling. He was bored and oddly enough to bored to sleep which was uncommon so here he was wondering the many halls of the castle.

He yawned widely wiping his eye sleepily as he continued his journey not really caring where his feet took him. He was just waiting for himself to get tired enough to sleep which was why he was carrying a pillow and fluffy blanket in on arm and was always wearing comfortable pajamas and slippers. He yawned again but still didn't think he could sleep.

As he was walking with his eyes barely open not paying attention to his surrounding he bumped into a brick wall. "Ow..." he whined softly rubbing his forehead and nose blinking the tears from his eyes.

He looked up to glare at the brick wall before blink.'brick wall?' He though finding it weird because this house wasn't brick and he wasn't walking by the walls at all, with those thoughts in mind he slowly tilted his head back to look up at what he bumped into only for his eyes to widen suddenly.

The brick wall now identified as a person looked down at him with a expression equal to his monotonous with a slight widen of their eyes to show the little surprise the felt.

Xander tilted his head to the side and so did the person, to anyone outside looking it would seem oddly cute to expressionless people one big one small looking at each other with their head tilted sideways not speaking.

Xander blinked slowly a few times before nodding slightly to himself before continuing to walk around the person even if his pace was still slow. As he was walking he noticed himself starting ti lift off the ground he looked down at his feet which sure enough were a few feet off the ground.

He blinked a few times before turning his head slowly behind him seeing the brick wall he bumped into was the one who lifted him up. He wasn't really surprised but he was curious and confused as to why they did it. Taking a closer look at the person they had the same color and shaped eyes as he and the duke did so he guesses this was his older brother, he wasn't entirely sure.

He had the originals memories but he learned a while ago but he was to lazy to go over them. He found it troublesome but images would appear when or if needed like now. He sees memories of this person flashing in his mind whenever he appeared he has a look if disinterest or blankness. Looking more into it it's indeed his older brother. He released a soft breath.

The brick wall now named Ian just looked back at him blankly but his eyes had a glint of curiosity behind the disinterest, Xander didn't care though and he found himself oddly comfortable even if Ian was holding him up by the back of his shirt collar like a baby kitten.

He blinked suddenly very tired he yawned blinked a few times before turning his head back in front of him and slowly relaxed and went to sleep while hanging midair in his brothers arms.

Ian blinked before tilting his head again nodded to himself then started slowly walking.

Xander lazily opened his eyes stretching himself slowly and lifting up, he yawned tiredly before looking around before blinking curiously 'I've never seen this room before'. He looked down at what he was laying on to see it was a big bed as well as his fluffy blanket with a few extra. He patted the blankets at few times before slowly laying himself down ready to sleep again not even worried about where he was.

As he was almost asleep he was startled awake by something sweet being pushed to his mouth. He opened his eyes quickly looking at where the hand that was feeding him came from. He shouldn't have been as surprised as he was that it was Ian who was sitting in a very comfortable looking chair besides the bed looking down at him blankly while trying to feed him a strawberry and cream cake.

He looked back just as blankly before opening his mouth accepting the strawberry cream cake humming softly because it was delicious.

Ian lip quirked you softly before feeding him more, he fed him till the cake was gone before reaching next to him and grabbing a a cup Xander couldn't see what was inside but Ian put a straw in before put the straw in Xander's mouth. He slowly sipped before humming softly again though it sounded more like a soft purr which surprised him but he didn't pay it no mind.

He didn't know what was all in the drink but it tasted sweet and smooth with a little bit of spice all balanced together perfectly. He finished the cup and Ian sat it down as well reaching for a napkin and wiped Xander's lips gently before nodding to himself.

He reached over and picked Xander up effortlessly, he exited the room and started walking. Xander wasn't concerned and was once again oddly comfortable in his now brothers arms. He started to doz off before noticing the halls started looking familiar. He tried to remember where he saw them from but couldn't recall.

Soon enough though he found himself once again in front of familiar doors. He now recalled this being the dukes study room. He blinked wildly trying to see if there was a reason for him being here but couldn't think of one. So he stopped trying to find a reason and relaxed in his brothers arms seeing what would happen next.

Ian knocked softly on the door "come in" was heard and Xander found himself being walked into the study in his older brothers arms.
