Tear Stains ~Sequel to Red Eyes~

A Cough

An important filler-chapter. Enjoy~

Lukas groaned loudly, slamming his eyes closed. He was held firmly onto a chair, with his neck, legs, and wrists buckled down, and a single drop of water repeatedly hitting his head.

Though, it may have been a single drop of water, this had being going on for hours. And that single drop of water had started to feel like a single sledgehammer slamming on his head.

He felt like he was going insane.

Feliks gasped as Toris yanked him off the blood-splattered ground.

"I can't believe I was ever friends with a FREAK like you!" The brunette snarled, pulling back his fist to punch Feliks on the nose.

"No! Please, I-!" His voice died as he  was thrown back down.

Toris grinned as he pulled out a gun, aiming at Feliks's head.

"You are so weak... Good night."

Bang.

Feliks gasped loudly as he sat up in bed, instantly going to touch his forehead.

It wasn't real. He was alive. Toris was awake. He heard sobbing from downstairs.

Pulling the pillow over his ears, he began to shake. His breath quickened, and suddenly he was gasping to breath again, as tears ran down his face freely.

Why couldn't everything just go back to normal? He should be teasing Toris about the other losing at chess, trying to make both of them laugh. Alfred, Francis, and Arthur should be fighting about something stupid while Kiku agreed to everything and ticked off Vash. Gilbert should be gloating about how awesome he was to Feliciano and Ludwig.

He let out a choked sob, before slapping a hand over his mouth. He knew it had just been a dream, but he also knew it was true. He was weak. A stupid, weak, freak.

He heard a creak, and he froze up, stifling his sobbing.

"Feliks?"

He pulled the pillow over his face.

"Go away Gilbert."

Gilbert slowly walked over and sat on the end of the end, hesitantly reaching over to pet the messed up blonde hair.

"What's wrong?"

There was a moment of silence as Feliks moved away from the petting hand, wiping his tears away.

"I'm fine."

"Well that's certainly B.S." Gilbert said rolling his eyes before shooting closer.

"...Am I really a freak?" Feliks mumbled unsurely.

"Of course not! Your the rising Phoenix that so many people look up to!" Gilbert said, and though he didn't miss a beat, he was surprised.

Feliks sighed and hugged he pillow closer.

"I'm really not. I just..."

Gilbert instantly grabbed the tiny Pole and pulled him to his chest.

"No. You're amazing and whatever is going on in your head right now is a lie. Cheer up! Things won't stay this unawesome forever." Gilbert said.

Feliks waited a moment before wrapping his arms around Gilbert's stomach.

"Thank you. I needed that."

Toris smiled at the scene in front of him. It was nice Feliks was getting comfort.

He watched them talk in hushed tones about what they were going to do after all of this was over.
