  hello there guys!

Prompt by: @andria_an1

Enjoy! There  is fluff!

6 months later.

     Lucas sighed, completely  giving up with the idea of catching any sleep that night. He stood up and walked down stairs,careful not to wake up anyone, and silently hoping Brian wasn't awake, — watching some stupid horror movie.

     Lucas sighed as he sat  chair in the dining,  trying to organize  his thoughts,  at this point his room was choking, his emotions were in complete disarray and he felt like he was getting clustered.

      He had never thought his memories from years ago would still be able to affect him this much, he had thought that after  his scholarship  and meeting his 'brothers' things would change but the incident of a few months ago and about how they had forgotten  and neglected him,  was shaking his foundation  of mental security (whoa,  that's huge language there) 

      He was scared that one day,it would  repeat it self, he would be all alone and abandoned like his parents left him when he  was fifteen,  or that he would  have to leave on the streets  like he did till he was sixteen, Lucas squeezed his eyes shut. — that was the last thing he wanted  to think about, his parents, the streets.

He sighed as he headed for the fridge to get some water, he slowly brought  the glass cup to his lips before the the sound of belt hitting flesh,  rang through his head he tightened his eyes trying to block out the sound.

“ you will respect  me!” Dante yelled as he belted his  12 year old son, the mother had gone clubbing,  as usual,  and his father  being a drunkard  took out his frustration  on the 12 year old  kid,  he slapped the boy sending his frail body across the room, with tears pouring down the poor boy's eyes but not a sound,  he dared not  make a sound.

  “Lucas!” Brian yelled, running towards the boy and successfully catching him before he could hit the ground and fall right into the broken glass that was scattered  on the floor “ buddy,  Are you okay?” he asked as he helped h to the couch,  still in his dazed state,  Lucas was unable to answer this made Brian panic, as it was obvious  the boy was having a panic attack, — Brian wasn't exactly  good at these stuff,  this was usually Andres' kind of thing..

“uh... It's gonna be fine” he tried,  mentally face palming him self for sounding cold “I'm here for you” he whispered  as he rocked the boy,  trying to get his breathe evened out “uh... Can you follow  my breathing?it's me,uh..Brian” that did draw Lucas' attention and when he knew he had gotten his attention,  Brian got to work trying to make things better “copy my breathing yeah?” he tried, “in... Out... In.. Out... There” he said as Lucas' breathing evened out, but tears kept running  down his cheeks.

   “ hey,  buddy what's wrong?  Hm?”

    “S-scared” Lucas whispered as he nuzzled into Brian's neck,  his mind still fuzzy,  and in dire need of rest.

    “it's okay buddy, it's gonna be fine yeah? Let's get you back upstairs to your ro-” before he could  finished he was interrupted  by a sob which escaped Lucas's lips.

What did I do now?

  Brian thought panicking, “what's wrong baby” he said as he continued to rub his back an action that usually soothed the nineteen year old

    “S-scared” he whispered  again.

   Brian looked around,obviously he couldn't  take Lucas to this room,  it was a complete hazard, it was messed up with various horror and scary posters and stuff,  that Lucas...... Just didn't need right now, after rocking the boy for a  bit, a small voice  spoke out “w-water” Brian looked to see an adorable  half asleep Lucas,  he smiled as he carried him, he had gotten used to carrying the boy,  though they had stopped  for a while after he demanded them to stop as he wasn't a 'baby' Andres recalled Kyle snorting at that. He would always  be their baby. Always.

He walked towards the kitchen and tried to avoid the glass,  which he did successfully  and he poured water into a plastic  cup,  hell no.  He didn't  want to risk getting blamed for another broken cup, especially  not Michael's  set.

He walked to and fro the sitting room, before he brought the cup to Lucas' lips and having him drink an adequate amount  before returning  back to his dilemma — where would Lucas sleep again?

  He looked down at the boy  who had drifted  to sleep in his arms,  he looked so peaceful, he wandered what could  have troubled him so much and if this had something  to do with all his sleepless night,  what scared Lucas so much?

Finally coming up with a decent  idea of where Lucas would sleep,  since he didn't want to worry Andres and Kyle would cut off his head,  he headed for Michael's room,  silently hoping  he was in a good  mood today.

After two knocks  the door opened,  to reveal Michael,  he seemed wide awake, wait.  What time was it?  Brian glanced at his watch.. 6:00 am, he had  spend more than two hours trying to calm him down,  ugh.  He had work today. He hoped Andres would  give him a day off,  it's the least he deserved

“Brian!” Michael called out for what seemed like the millionth time, anger evident but had faded away after  he glanced at Lucas who was in Brian's arms, he reached out and collected him from Brian who looked lost in thought and...sleep deprivation, “you..are you okay?

“yeah.. ” he said as he yawned, coming out of his slight trance “something's wrong with him, he seemed scared when I met him,  I think it has to do with his nightmares....”

   “was it that severe?” Michael asked as he cooed placing the nineteen year old on his bed,  and tucking him in. “I'm sorry,  he didn't want  to go to his room and  I couldn't  take him to mine and-”   “it's fine” Michael  cut off his rant as he sat beside  Lucas running  a hand through his hair,  “Do you think we need to see a doctor? He's been acting strange lately” Michael confessed

“ he's sleep deprived obviously,  and I don't know much about  that, maybe we could  all talk about it later  yeah,  I need to sleep” he yawned again, “I'll check in late for work” he said as he headed  out of the room.

    “you're lucky,  you're good friends with the boss” Michael chuckled, as he got into his bed successfully  spooning Lucas.

Later,  they would have a long talk about it,  but for now. H just wanted to let the boy get all the rest he could accommodate.
