Hey Brother

Oneshot

Based on chapter --

Deon was talking to one of the kids before they suddenly pushed him down

"Haha! What a weak vampire~! Why do you even live at the Hart family huh?? You stupid white-haired mutt!"

The kid started kicking at Deon and the other two joined in, cruel and humiliating laughter echoed through the silent hall

Deon cried while he endured the beating, he couldn't even defend himself when he needed to, what was the point of practicing in his room when all he did was freeze up and take the beating?

Suddenly, he heard footsteps common towards them, the kids who were still kicking all over him stopped to look at the person

"A-ah... Greetings Cruel Hart! I umphf-"

The kid who started it all was suddenly silence before a loud thud can be heard across the ball

The cold distant eyes glared at the two others who started stepping back as Cruel approached closer

He snarled at their direction before speaking in a cold voice

"Get lost"

The two kids looked at each other before grabbing the instigator before going into the door at the end of the hallway

Deon, who was quivering like a leaf stayed silent with his eyes closed, Cruel frowned upon seeing his brother at such a state

He slowly walked up to him and poked his cheek

"Deon?"

The child in question didn't answer, his frown turned into a thin line, a worried expression bloomed on his face

"Deon this isn't funny are you alright?"

Again, Deon didn't seem to answer to him

Cruel felt a burning desire to go punch those kids again til they passed out

He knew that Deon's weak body was one of the major reasons but

'That kid got lackeys and kept hitting Deon's head! Those bast#rds!'

Cruel grinded his teeth in seething anger

He seemingly snapped out of it when he heard a small noise come out of Deon

"Hey, hey Deon, can you hear me?"

"Mmm... Brother?"

"Idiot, why didn't you defend yourself?"

'Ahh... That wasnt the first thing I wanted to say, I could've asked him if he was feeling alright or not'

The irritation on his mind also spread to his face, Deon who was staring at his brother felt ashamed, Cruel seemed annoyed at the fact that not only could he not defend his weak body but also must have interrupted him from something important

"*sigh* nevermind that, let's go to your room, I'll ask the maid to bring lukewarm water and some bandages,"

Cruel stood up and turned around Deon and showed his back to him

"Come on, I'll carry you"

Deon obediently climbed Cruel's back and clung to him like a koala, they walked through the maze-like halls before reaching Deon's room

Cruel gently layed Deon on the bed and said

"Wait here and don't try to do anything, I'll call in the maid to bring necessities and a physician if I can"

"W-wait brother you don't have t-"

"Deon they literally kept kicking you in the head! Your skull could have broken if it went any longer and give you a concussion! *sigh* just stay there and dont move"
