Dysfunctional family

((This isn't really a prompt buddy but more of a mini-story for you-

Happy early Thanksgiving))

Luc sat on the air mattress quietly, perfectly able to hear everything that was going on downstairs.

The cursing. The screaming. The arguing.

The throwing.

It was a little while longer before he could hear finally, finally the stomping down the hallway that was slowly coming closer.

When Remi finally slammed xer bedroom door shut, Luc finally started to cry.

Remi was holding xer bionic left arm in xer right hand. Oil was everywhere.

Google had knocked Remi's arm off.

Remi sat down on the floor with oil running down xer face, which could either be xer tears or blood.

Lucas's voice had gotten a bit hoarse when he finally managed to stop crying, at which Remi lifted up his head slightly.

Xer voice was glitchy when xe spoke. "Lucas. Please don't be sad about it. This happens often. If anything, I should be the one upset about it because he did it while you were here."

Luc nodded, wiping some of his tears away. "He...He shouldn't be allowed to treat you..."

Remi shushed him, ruffling his hair after putting xer arm on the ground. "Look, it's an easy fix. I do it myself. I can even show you."

Lucas gave a sad smile, getting up off the air mattress as Remi motioned for him to follow xer to a table of scrapped parts and wires.

In reality, Luc didn't know half of what Google would do to Remi. But Remi made sure that he could never know.

And Lucas knew that. But because it made Remi happy, it made Luc happy.
