Happy Birthday? {Normal AU}

Eve sat at his bedroom window, watching the rain hit the window, the slight pitter patter hitting the glass, a sad yet somewhat blank expression on his face.
His long red hair a mess, nothing had been done to it it was just a wavy mess falling past his shoulders, his eyes a deep blue colour. His skin so pale.
He wore a pajama long sleeved dark blue shirt and black shorts, exposing his scarred legs.
Syringe marks and stab wounds. All different kinds of scars to be honest. He was covered in them from his childhood and teenagehood, up to when he was saved By Amy and Thomas.
He was scarred. And always would be.
He didn't mind.
Sometimes they got him down.
But he avoided thinking about it.
Today however.
Today was meant to be a happy special day for both him and his twin sister, Evieh. But no, it wasn't.
His sister was gone. Taken by her abusive ex husband, her eldest daughter also gone. He was shot and.
And.
And he couldn't protect his sister.
Anger builds up inside, balling his hand into a fight before punching the wall as hard as possible, wincing in pain as he holds his arm to his chest, looking at his hand.
Blood immediately running down his knuckles, his hand immediately bruising.
He had failed his sister, couldn't save her and he couldn't protect her children either. All because he was too weak.
All because he didn't react fast enough.
All because.
Of him.
He goes to punch the wall again, but stops as a knock is heard on his door, his older sisters muffled voice heard outside the room.
He bites his lip, trying not to cry as he sits back.
He climbs back onto his bed, grabbing his blanket and wrapping it around himself "I'm sick" he whines.
But the door opens anyway, Amy stepping into the room.
Her long black hair tied in two loose pigtails, an emerald green village dress on that matched her beautiful sparkly eyes. But a sad look on her face.
She makes her way around the bed, watching as Eve shuffles up and she takes a seat right next to him.
She wore a choker necklace as well as her communication amulet. And like always, her hands gloved.
She gently rests her hand on Eves shoulder "... How are you holding up?"
Eve doesn't say anything, his eyes almost immediately watering and resting his head against her shoulder as he holds his hand out shakily, showing her the bruised bloody mess.
"... Eve..." she sighs as she gently takes hold of his hand "You do know... It wasn't your fault...?"
"I-I..." Eve stammers, tears falling down his pale face "I s-should of reacted fa-faster-" he chokes back sobs.
Amy frowns, looking around.
She's not the best at comforting people.
She gently wraps an arm around him, one hand in his hair, curling it with her fingers.
"It... Wasn't your fault. It never will be and... In all honesty, I think she will blame herself for you being shot."
"But it wasn't-"
"Exactly..." she says softly, tilting her head slightly "Eve... Nothing was your fault."
They both stay quiet.
And Eve just wraps himself around Amy, hiding his face in her stomach as he wails, his voice cracking and body shaking and tears jus staining his now red face.
Amy blinks, her eyes wide for a moment, before relaxing and hugging him gently, a slight sad look on her face as she looks down at him, curling his hair in her fingers, pushing his hair behind his ears.
"You're... So strong, Eve. And I know you're... Scared. And thinking about her situation angers you I-" he stops "Of course I know. It's scary, Eve."
Eve gently hugs her waist, whining "I w-want my sister-" he wails.
Amy nods slowly "I know... I... I miss her too, Eve... She'll come back. I know she will."
They both look out of the window, the clouds darkening and thunder echoing, cashing the house to shake.
Eve latches onto Amy in fear, wailing and his body shaking, choking and crying for his twin.
He just wants his sister, the sister he was going to spend the day with.
But now?
He's spending it crying in his room because the storm won't settle.
Spending it with his sister. But.
Atleast it's someone who loves him.
