" Working on us " (working on it heh)

CH.2 "..is this..my fault?.."

(Before the weeks thing with Gregory)
On the walk home with Micheal, Evan asked him something.
" What do you think will happen to Gregory now that I left? "
Micheal tightens his grip on Evan's back as he thinks for a good while.
" the kid'll probably just..I don't know...It's hard to know what-or how that kid will take certain things.."
" I'm asking because I don't think..he's..gonna be okay.."
Micheal already knows what Evan means by that, and Micheal knows that Evan's crying already..
Micheal moves his hand to Evan's head patting it as they continued to walk, Micheal had a small home, Where Lizzy, him, Evan and r҉̵҉̛̠̩̥̋ͦ̆͆͟͞͡͞͠o҉̢̡̲͇̌͗̀͢͝s҉̝̭̦͚̑ͯ̌͡e̵̡̫̫͍͕̎ͭ̐͟͟͝͞t҉̷҉̢͖͔̹͛̌͊͘͜͢͠͡͡t҉̷҉̢͖͔̹͛̌͊͘͜͢͠͡͡e̵̡̫̫͍͕̎ͭ̐͟͟͝͞ their mother lived, Their father was not allowed there at all, In the saying that they almost always have Cassidy over, but Cassidy wasn't here this time.
Micheal opens the homes door, Closing it as he puts Evan down.
" there. you're home now."
Micheal pats Evan's head again and goes off to do something else.
" hey brother! "
Evan tilts his head to The person, it was his sister Lizzy.
" what's wrong now? Some kids? I swear I'm gonna beat them up!- "
Evan doesn't chuckle like he usually does and try to stop her, he just stood there, before awkwardly walking off to his room.
"..."
Micheal glances back at Lizzy.
" yeah, Evan's not doing good at all, he stopped stuttering, and he's not showing much interest in humanity right now."
"...I can tell, but aside from that can you tell me more about this..Gregory that you keep mentioning to me that you let stay at the pizzaplex? "
Micheal stares at Lizzy.
" no."
" oh come on! "
" nuh-uh."
" dude! I want to help Evan!!"
Lizzy pouts as she pulls on Micheal's hoodie, but Micheal remains stiff as ever.
" I said no."
" come onnnnn! We are never gonna be able to help Evan!!! "
" I can, you won't."
Elizabeth bites Micheal's arm and he immediately picks her up under her arms, she's squirming in the air like a little Trapped bug.
" time out."
Elizabeth crosses her arms as she pouts and turns her head away, Micheal carries her correctly, putting her on her shoulder and having an arm wrapped around her legs.
He opens her room door, dropping her inside and immediately shutting the door tight.
" Micheal what the fuck! "
He could hear her say as he had accidentally dropped her on a boxcutter that wasn't supposed to be in her room.
" shouldn't have put that there."
" IT WAS CASSIDYS OH MY GOD! " (ch.8 Cassidy's box cutter reference?? 😦)
" your lucky we're dead."
" 'your lucky we're dead' IM GONNA KILL YOU AGAIN! "
" don't."
Micheal lets go of the door knob as he sits on the couch, turning on his tv as he watches his show and Listens to Lizzy rambling about how he'd ' kill him ' again.
Micheal finds it Relaxing and soon dozes off within the comfort of the rambling, His hoodie and the couch.

....
( after the weeks thing with Gregory) (no he did not take a week long nap)
Time goes by fast, And Micheal wakes up in a flash, Realizing he hasn't talked to Evan at all this whole week, He quickly stands up and Walks to Evan's room, It was dark in there but he could see Evan under his covers, While..lizzy was sleeping above the blanket right beside him.. he shakes his head as he takes off his hoodie, Placing it ontop of lizzy as if he moves her to put her under the blanket she might awaken.
He walks back to the door,  glancing back at them before closing the door again.
...

Evan finally awakens, Noticing lizzy sleeping beside him with Micheal's hoodie on top of her, Evan doesn't smile and just removes himself from Elizabeth's arms and gets out of bed, He rubs his eyes as he can't see nothing, Turns out his Disk died while he was sleeping.
" mom? "
Evan calls out as he heads out of his room, his wings tucked closely to him as he walks, Wiping away any blood oozing from his bandages, He turns to look at the couch, Micheal was there resting on the couches arm, Drooling, it was disgusting but Evan wasn't one to question, Sitting beside Micheal on the couch, evan hugs himself, Hoping to find comfort in his own arms, but really, He can't, He's become attached to arms that he no longer has around him Or anywhere near him, Gregory's.
Evan had spaced out so much while hugging himself that he didn't realize that Micheal was up, Micheal was just watching him with a raised eyebrow.
" good morning?."
Micheal says as he sits up fully, wiping his lips and turning fully to Evan, Basically giving him his full attention and support.
" you alright? "
"No not really."
" do you..want to talk about it?.."
Evan sits there quietly for the moment.
"..I want to, But I don't know how to.."
" just tell me what's on your mind?.. it's simple.."
Micheal Tilts his head at Evan, Evan stared up at him.
"..Is this..my fault?.."
