Talks With My NightOwl (BoyxBoy)

Comfort

"Lower your guns tough guy, or I'll splatter your brains on the floor and my brother won't be too hesitant to do the same to your little brother." Meris smirked and slowly started to draw back the trigger, I knew there was nothing I could do to stop my two trigger happy brothers. I guessed that my quest to find Eleni would end in a huge disaster and I would never be able to see him again.

The guy lowered his guns and switched on the safety before dropping them to the floor and kicking them away. I went and collected them before turning to the guy and asking his name, he seemed guarded as he gave me a stiff answer.  " Harel." I nodded and he glared at me before returning his attention to his brother who still had his face pressed to the carpet.

"Can you ease off of him, you said I had the wrong idea about you and suffocating my brother isn't going to change that." I nodded to Meris who took his foot off of Mischa's head, the younger boy gasped for air and turned over on his back so he could stare up at Meris who smirked at him. Mischa rolled his eyes and looked over at Arelius who gave him a strange look that I had no time to pay attention to, because in that minute Eleni's sister came down the stairs. 

"What are you guys doing for so long, mom is worried?" Meris snapped his gun up to her as he slammed his foot on Micha's chest.

"Milha run!" Harel shouted and instead of running she just stared at us.

Milha folded her arms over her chest and arched a brow. "What the fuck is going on down here, and are you all retarded, you do realize you're having a fucking stand off in front of an open door?"  My eyes widened and Arelius sighed kicking the door shut. "Secondly are you all fucked in the head, Eleni is asleep up there and you want to start a fight down here, do you all want me to box your ears?"

Harel chuckled and stepped away from Arelius who didn't even bother threatening him anymore as he let his gun drop to his side. Meris moved back and allowed Harel to pull his brother up from the floor and put the safety back on his gun before shoving it back in his pants. "Dad should have walked in, I would have liked to see you too try and explain this shit to him."

Harel rolled his eyes and Milha dropped a hot one on his cheek earning a collective of hisses from everyone in the room. "So I guess these are your brothers?" I nodded and she smiled going over to Arelius and Meris to shake their hands. They all exchanged introductions and Milha asked if everyone wanted something to drink and went to get it.

I followed Mischa and Harel back up to Eleni's room, where Harel went over to pull his mother into a hug while everyone else found places to stand or sit in the room. Eleni's mother simply nodded to everyone before returning to her possission and I went into the bathroom to check on  him.

He was still curled up in the blankets tightly holding on to one of the pillows, I took a seat by the door as Milha returned giving everyone their drinks before taking her place next to her mother. The room was silent and it remained that way even when it grew dark and I decided it was time for the three of us to make our ways back to the hotel and said we would come the next day.

The first thing I did when I got back was to take a shower, change and get something to eat before dropping into my bed and trying to sleep.

I woke up the next day and Arelius and Meris decided they weren't going to let me go alone because they didn't trust Eleni's brothers. Of course they didn't say it but I knew what they were thinking but kept it to myself. We soon pulled up on the house and today only Eleni and his mother was home and when I went up Eleni was fast asleep.

His mother told me that he had woken up an hour after I left and he had awoken a few minutes this morning to eat before he went back to sleep. I sat beside the tub on a chair looking down at him, I was pleased when she said that he hadn't had a bad dream. But I was worried because he was sleeping so much.

She walked in the bathroom and hadnded me a glass of juice before taking a seat in the other chair that was near the tub. "He's like this, sometimes he could go days without sleeping, sometimes he could sleep for days and then sometimes he would have regular sleep habits." She brushed a lock of her hair behind her ears.

"You probably wish that he would sleep less but we found that he's mopre paranoid that less he sleeps. Somtmes I think it's better that he just sleeps as long as it's a peaceful one. He's like a new born deer, afraid of everyone and everything and very dependable on those he deems trustworthy. He was the opposite of that before, I feel like someone kidnapped my child and replaced him with a poor copy of him."

She sniffed and I watched as a tear ran down her face and she let out a sad laugh. "When he was younger my greatest fear was that he would injure himself and not be able to achieve his dreams. Now my biggest fear is that he will take his life because he's not strong enough to face these terrible cards that he had been dealt."

"And then I start thinking that this is my fault, because his father said he was too young to go off on his own. I said this was the perfect age for him to be off on his own so he could discover who he is. I was told that it was the right decision by so many people who had sent their children off to do the same thing that I had.

"And I feel bad because I start to wonder why it only happened to him, why it had to happen to him at all. Why these monsters had to pick my child to tear apart and then toss away as if he was some piece of trash. And then I think that this was my punishment for the things I had done in my life, you know that whole saying the son will pay for the sins of thy father, that."

"I will tell you that I was a spoiled little bitch and was sure that my family hated me, but then I had my eldest and I settled down and then I met my husband and I changed. I thought that maybe I had made up for every piece of shit thing I did, but boy was I wrong. I guess karma moves in it's own pace and give's no shit about how it gets you back."

After that we just drifted into silence until she shot to her feet and gave an awkward smile. " Yeah sorry about that I can just go into a rant and a half. Didn't mean to do that, I need to go cook, bye." I didn't get to say anything as she made her way out the room and the three of us looked at each other confused. 

Arelius shook his head and looked back out the window. "You should get him a cat." No it was time for me to look at him confused and he sighed letting me know he could feel my eyes on him. "Your boyfriend is much like a cat now and he needs one just like him, so even if he's by himself he won't feel so lonely."

I thought about it and nodded Meris suggested that maybe a lively puppy would be better and Arelius looked at him like if he was retarded. "You don't force a sad person to be around a happy and cheery person. It won't make them better it'l just make them not want to be around people like that. Because to them it will only be more tiring and depressing, so it's best to put them with someone like them."

"People find more comfort in being around people like them, so I wouldn't expect Eleni or his brother's to get along with you even if we were close friends. Maybe if he was the same as before then it might have been possible but he's not and he never will be again, it's just simple facts." We all sat quietly after that, finding comfort in the silence.
