(WHats ThIs, TWo CHapTers In ONe day?)


It had been about two hours since Halluciv had left.
He had just had the best date ever.
Halluciv was still filled with butterflies as he opened the door to his house.
He expected to see his friends sitting on the couch or talking somewhere, or at least his brother sitting somewhere doing nothing like usual.
"Maybe he's in his room." Was the first thought that came to mind.
"He always tells me in some way that he's going out."
"Marvul?" He called out loud enough to hopefully get a response.
There wasn't anything in reply.

Halluciv figured he'd just hang around in the living room until his brother came back.

He hung around for a little while and ended up doing a few things.
He and Xcellence had gone out for lunch.
Throughout their hangout time, he was able to keep sane, which was a good sign.
Halluciv had a rather, unsteady personality...

He had decided to make dinner while he waited.
Though, while he was getting the things he needed, he heard quiet sobs.
Halluciv stopped to listen...
It surely wasn't his brother. He hadn't seen Marvul cry since the day he got the gash in the top of his skull, which was when they were much younger.

They were probably... 13 or 14 years old. Halluciv was home, trying to figure out meals, when Marvul came back, blood dripping from his skull and his eyes full of tears from the horrible pain. He collapsed right into Halluciv and sobbed until he passed out, in the time Halluciv had ran him to the hospital.
Since then, Marvul changed a whole lot and never would show emotion to anyone... Not even his own brother.
Trying to push those thoughts back, he focused on the sobs again.
It was a familiar voice though..
He walked around the room, finding where the crying was the loudest.
It was from Marvul's room?..
"Is it actually Marvul?"

Halluciv knocked on the door. "Hello?"
There was soft gasping and sobbing from inside..
Halluciv tried the doorknob, it was unlocked.
"I'm coming in. Okay?" Halluciv said as he opened the door.
He froze with shock, seeing not his brother, but his best friend, curled up on the bed, soaked in his own tears.
Halluciv panicked and rushed over to his side. "Reboot, what's happening?"
"It-It hurts." Reboot spoke weakly between sobs.
Halluciv took Reboot by the shoulders and pulled him into a tight hug. Reboot, feeling Halluciv grab him, clung to him with the little bit of strength as he had. "What? What's hurts? What happened?" Halluciv asked with a lot of concern.
He could hear Reboot's shallow breaths and felt how much he was shaking.
Whatever pain he was in, it must've been severe.
He found his friend could barely talk through the pain he was in.
"Do you want painkillers? I know my brother has them somewhere." Halluciv asked as he put Reboot back down. Reboot then immediately started nodding.
Halluciv quickly started looking through drawers in his room, hoping his brother still had them.
Halluciv had to look through almost every drawer Marvul had before finally finding his small drawer of pills and such medical type of things.
He found the painkillers and went back to Reboot, who was still crying his eyes out.
"These are powerful, I'll just give you two for now." Halluciv said as he gave his friend the pills.
Reboot didn't hesitate to swallow them.
He wanted this pain gone.
This was nothing like he'd ever felt before, he had gotten fractures before, and hit with Gaster blasters before, and thought those were the worst pains.
This was way beyond that.
He'd do anything to have his go away.
He could barely move his legs and just barely move around in general.
His pain felt like he was being stabbed with millions of knives every quarter of a second.
It was awful burning pain.
If the pills could numb it he'd be able to breathe for a moment.
Halluciv sat beside him, concerned for his best friend, and pulled him into a motherlike hug.
Reboot only sobbed hard and clung to Halluciv.
He could just barely breathe with the amount of pain he was in, being held hurt him, but it was more comforting than being alone in a room he didn't know.
