Our Possession

28

Marcel never fell asleep, Marcel couldn't fall asleep. He just spent all night staring up at the ceiling, too afraid to move at all and wake up Edward. Because then he would have to tell his brother what he had heard, and Marcel didn't want to speed up the process of Edward going into an unstoppable fit of rage.

No, Marcel just wanted to lay there and take comfort in the silence that was in the house, as he knew it wouldn't be silent when his brother woke up. So that's what he did, Marcel stayed up all night, freezing in place when around noon he heard his brother waking up.

"G'morning," Edward mumbled, pushing himself off of the bed and lazily walking over to the bathroom.

Marcel didn't reply, he was horrified, he knew what was coming and he didn't have the power to stop it. Heck! He didn't even have the power to stop himself from telling Edward the truth. It was near impossible to tell a lie to his brothers, he never tried it and he didn't want to try. He didn't want to give them reasons to dislike him, even though they somehow always did.

"You okay?" Marcel heard from the bathroom, he just shut his eyes and pursed his lips.

'Poor Edward,' he thought, 'he's going to be very upset with Harold.'

"Marcel?"

Edward's voice snapped Marcel out of his thoughts, making him sit up and reach over to grab his glasses. "Y-Yes?" he nervously asked, pushing his glasses onto his face.

"Did you have a nightmare? What's wrong with you today."

Marcel looked at the back of Edward's head, his brother didn't have a care in the world, he was just brushing his teeth and caring about his gums.

Edward is such a nice young man. Poor Edward.

"Marcel." Edward looked at his brother through the mirror. "...Are you hiding something from me?"

"O-Oh!" Marcel widened his eyes. "How did you know!"

Edward rolled his eyes at his brother, he could be so oblivious sometimes. "Whenever you're hiding something you don't talk or look anyone in the eye."

Edward finished his bathroom routine before speaking up again, "well, what is it then?"

"O-Oh Dear... well... u-um... last night, I-I heard... something."

"Something?"

"Um... yeah."

Edward waited for Marcel to continue, which he only did a couple seconds of silence later, when Marcel realized Edward wasn't going to speak up until he elaborated.

"U-Uhm... I-I heard um, moaning."

"Moaning?"

"Yeah. Moaning."

Edward gripped onto the counter and glared at himself in the mirror, deep in thought.

"Um. E-Edward?"

Edward grumbled something under his breath and stormed out of the room, leaving Marcel to lay in bed and begin to worry for Harry.

Edward slammed Harry's door opened and made his way to the man's bed.

"Rise and shine, you piece of shit!" Edward yelled and slapped his brother across the face, effectively waking him up.

"Wha-" Harry sat up quickly and got out of bed once he saw it was Edward. "Oh, Edward... Hi. What's up?"

Louis sat up slowly and pushed his hair out of his face just in time to see Edward lunging at Harry, the latter moving fast enough to bolt out of the room.
