Moon fidgeted as they watched the movie. He didn't want to wait for Solar he wanted to know that he was okay. Sun had re assured him that he would come soon but how could he know everything?

It wasn't till later that three audible knocks could be heard. Moon jumped out of the sofa and hurried to the door.

"Come in!" Moon exclaimed.

The door opened as he began to walk down the hallway to the front door. Solar saw Moon and collapsed in his arms.

"Solar?" His voice filled with worry and despair.

Moon helped Solar walk to the living room sofa and sat him down, sitting next to him for support. Sun came over with a glass of water.

Solar looked like a mess, his rays were droopy and had small marks on them. His arms were littered with cuts. Moon looked to Sun with worry. One of the worst things that he could think of happening happened.

"Brother can you grab the first aid kit and a damp cloth?"

Moon held onto Solar and checked his body for any harm

Sun came back with the things he needed. Moon took the damp cloth and gently pressed it on any scab he found. For the deeper cuts on his arms he pressed the washcloth down to stop it from leaking. He left it there as he got antibiotic cream from the kit, carefully applying it to each cut. He grabbed some gauze and wrapped his arms securely with it. He placed small bandages on some other ones.

"Moon...?" Solar spoke, his voice quiet and hoarse.

"Yes?" Moon responded quickly.

"Thank you."

Moon looked to Sun with worry.

The three sat there in awkward silence as they waited for one another to speak.

"I guess I have some explaining to do..." Solar mumbled. "Solstice. Summer Solstice, the Preformer in the theater? He did most of this. Not my arms.. but he attacked me. He's never really been... The best but I didn't think this would happen."

Moon's words were caught in his throat.

"Oh my god..." Sun choked out.

"I don't want to do anything about it right now... Please." Solar pleaded.

Moon carefully hugged Solar not wanting to hurt him.

"You should get some rest." Moon suggested.

Solar nodded. Moon took him upstairs to his bedroom and set him down on his bed.

"You can sleep here for now." Moon proposed.

"Okay.. thanks again Moon."

"No problem." Moon leaned down and kissed his forehead.

Moon walked downstairs and spoke to Sun who was fixing up a snack for the three of them.
