"Christopher~" Chris stirs on his sleep, as a croaky voice whispers on his ear "Wake up, little one~" The boy slowly opened his eyes, whimpering a little as the sun hits his face "Look how you've grown, Chris..." Suddenly, Chris recognized the voice, freezing in place, he slowly sit up, pulling his blanket over his head "Oh, you don't need to be scared, son~" He felt a hand interwinding on his hair
Chris glaced over the blanket, a tall black haired man was standing by the bed, sending shivers on the younger's spine, his trembling hands reached over to him, trying to make sure he wasn't real, but when the older firmly grabbed his wrists, he let out a high-pitched scream and pushed himself the opposite direction he was being pulled, just to end up falling out of the bed and the hallucination to go away
"Whoa! Calm down, you'll end up hurt!" A soft but artificial voice catches him, before he hit the floor "Phew! Are you okay?" The voice puts Chris on his feet, sighing in relief
The boy looks behind his back, his eyes widened and his hands started to tremble
A brown-haired teen was standing behind him, he was wearing a dark red hoodie with blue shorts, his eyes were a pure violet, too bright to be human, his cheek was open, showing a dark grey metallic endoskeleton
"Alex...! You're back...!" Chris gags on his own words, turning to his adoptive brother and holding back the tears, earning a soft chuckle from him
"I guess I am..." Alex received the blond's hug with his arms open, pressing his artificial cheek on his sibling's head "How are you, Chris?"
"I don't want to talk about it..." The younger whimpers, resting his head on his adoptive sibling's chest
The door opened, Vincent got inside, he was out of breath, the room was upstairs and he probably was taking a nap downstairs, his sleepy face showed it
"Are you okay, Chris?" He yawls, making Chris look at Alex and walked up to his uncle, hugging and pressing his cheek in him
"Yes, uncle Vincent..." The older caressed his nephew's hair "I just think I'm hallucinating..." The boy closes his eyes, sighing sadly
"That's not okay, Chris...I told you that" Vincent knees on Chris's height, soon noticing the brown-haired boy by the bed "Oh, hey Alex..." The man yawls, completely exhausted
"Hello Mr.Vincent!" Alex salutes him with an wave, smiling softly "Uhm, are you okay...?" He stutters, rubbing the back of his head
"I'm fine, just a little tired" The man rubs his eyes
"I'm sorry that I woke you, uncle Vincent" Chris whispered, earning a soft chuckle from him
"You can't control it, buddy" Vincent caressed his nephew's hair "Don't need to apologise...now, let's go downstairs watch a movie or something..." He yawls
"I can take care of him, if you need" Alex says under his breath, getting their attention "I mean...you look pretty tired and–"
"I'm okay with staying with Alex" Chris smiles a little
'They aren't expecting what will happen next, right errand boy?'
