Frozen Poppies

Chapter 22

A few weeks pasted and Xornoth slowly become more secludes and went out less. Often refusing to leave his room for hours on end, only emerging for dinner or to get something. Scott became more and more concerned for his brother and would sometimes just sit in his room with Xornoth. Most time it would just be silence but sometimes they would have small convocations'. But their parents had became more and more strict with Scott now that it was official that he would be next to take the throne. Scott would walk in on Xornoth mumbling to himself saying thing like, "He's my brother", "No" or "Just shut it". 

But soon weeks had turned into months and this is when Xornoth started being a bit more psychotic and deranged. His once protective personality for his brother turned into one of spite and anger for him. Each of the crystals would glow brighter and brighter each day, the heat of Xornoth's and the Coldness of Scott's were forever at war with each other and the rooms temperature would futurate within seconds. Barley speaking words to each other, that was until tonight.

It was dinner when their dad had brought up a topic at the table, " So Scott. Your now next in line, and there is still no hint of a heir." Scott fell dead quiet and looked toward Xornoth, but all he got in return was a shrug, but a look of concern was see in his face. "Why are we bring this up?" "Because we need to know, if you have a lover we need to know otherwise, it will be arrange." "Oh" Dinner was spent in nor silence and soon after they walked upstairs.

"What you going to do Scott." This was the first time Xornoth had spoken it Scott in a good while. He was grateful his brother still care at least a little. "I don't know." "Let me guess, your still not telling them." Scott just looked down. "Look, your going to need to tell them soon." "I know, but no one would was a gay ruler. Its foretold that every ruler..." Scott started trailing off as he felt a reassuring hand on his shoulder, both him and Xornoth where gay and neither were going to tell their parents as both were terrified of what was going to be the reaction. They were always there for each other,  and even though Xornoth was distancing himself from everyone and anyone, he still made sure Scott didn't feel alone during this process as he new how much he meant to his younger brother.

This took a little longer than expected but I am happy with it overall. I realized how little we have really moved on so I wanted to do a bit of a time Jump while still having everything make sense. I was also really busy today so I've wrote the last half in about 15 minutes, so it might be a little rushed. Bye
