Well shit, is this as long chapter O_o hope you don't mind...?
--------------
After having heard the mirror break, Klaus instantly hurried to the bathroom and forced the door open, to see his son lying on the floor in his own blood, of which he saw enough on the sink and what remained of the mirror. Venom whimpered in horror from behind the ex-hero, unable to find voice to scream.
Alex was later bandaged up and lying on his bed, on the edge of which Elias sat silently. Venom was off to change the wet towel he'd place on the wound, and Stutzer took the opportunity to approach Alexander.
He didn't mean for this to happen and felt guilty about it, but he had no other choice, seeing as Alex was set on taking those pills. With a sigh, he eyed the strands of hair that crossed his face, and hesitantly reached a hand to brush them off. Before getting the chance to, though, he heard steps approaching the room so he stood up and walked away from the bed.
Venom entered the room, then gently sat in his place, tugging the bandage to place the freshly wet towel under it, before continuing his gesture for Elias by brushing off Alex's hair. His eyes were drowned in tears of concern and confusion, and his face was paler than usual. With a sigh he let his head rest on Alexander's chest, gripping his limp hand. The sight made Elias want to reach a consoling hand towards his son, but he withdrew for obvious reasons.
A while later Klaus entered the room as well, silently making his way to the bed after noticing Venom. Sitting next to Alex, he leaned down and placed his son's head on his shoulder, Alexander's shoulders cozily laying on one of Klaus's arms, his other one reaching to hug Venom, who finally seemed to relax under his lover's embrace.
Only then did the villain manage to find sleep, and Klaus just watched his unconscious family for a while, before his night black eyes closed on their own.
Elias could only watch from afar, feeling as if the Universe did this on purpose. Being exposed to such sight made his unbeating heart clench in loneliness, jealousy and guilt.
It hurt...

Alexander felt consciousness welcome him bitterly the moment his headache woke him up. He hesitantly opened his eyes, facing the grey ceiling of his room. Despite the pain, he felt comfortable and secure as he stood wrapped in the warmth of his loved ones.
Looking down, he could only see the mess of Venom's hair, dark brown and orange strands tickling his chest and neck. He ran a hand through the soft hair, before tilting his head to the right as he felt breathing hit his cheek. His heart skipped a beat when he noticed the night black eyes staring back at him closer than ever before, with a neutral look.
After a couple moments of silence, Klaus whispered. "It was the hallucination, wasn't it?"
Alexander could only nod slowly, for he knew that lying to him would be in vain. Klaus clenched his straight jaw, eyes moving to Venom for a few seconds, before going back to Alex. "Tell him you slipped. I don't want him thinking about that man for a single second." he said coldly, to which Alexander nodded again, understandingly.
Klaus's shoulders didn't allow him view on the rest of the room, which he was grateful for, because he could feel Stutzer's gaze on him. He watched in wonder as Klaus closed the small distance between them, to slowly and tenderly plant a peck on his scarred cheek. The ex-hero's arm was limp under the weight of Alex's shoulders, seeing as it supported them for a few hours, but he managed to raise it in order to ruffle his hair, and smiled when the man didn't bother arranging it back.
