My Little Viking

Not. Your. Fault.

Zes Pov

        We get back to the house, and Anthony lays me on the couch. Then sends Minx to get something. I'm still shaking in fear. My legs still bleeding.

"I'm sorry they wouldn't tell us where you were. I thought you were gone..." Anthony says cupping my face with his hands.

"It's fine..." I say trailing off

My vision starts to blur from blood loss.

"No, no, no! Steven come on stay awake buddy." Anthony says looking down at my leg, blood running down it.

I can see a faint outline of Minx handing a bottle to Anthony. Then I can feel him poor it on my leg sending a wave of pain though my body. 

I let out a cry of pain, my vision fading quickly form the mixture of pain and blood loss.

           Minx had come back with the alcohol. Steven was barley awake, his eyes barley open. I poor the alcohol on his leg causing him to cry out in pain. I reach up and rub his cheek trying to distract him from the pain and keep him awake. I rap his leg with a bandage, and attempt to clean up some of the blood.

"A- A- Anthony. Every- th- things bl- blurry." Steven stutters.

"I know baby, it's ok." I say, Lying.

Everything was not ok. I promised Steven that I would keep him safe, and I didn't.

"Sleep you'll feel better." I say leaning down and kissing him.

"O- o- ok" He manages to say before his eyes close.

I didn't want him to go to sleep because I know he'll dream about what happened. Hopefully he'll tell me while he's asleep and I wont have to ask.

It took about ten minutes but he started talking.

"No....." He say starting to breath heavily.

I want to wake him up and make him feel better but I needed to know.

"No, please I'm not hungry" Steven says sounding desperate.

*Silence*

"No, I don't want to eat the sandwich!" He says almost yelling out of fear.

"Stop"

"No"

"Please"

I cant let this go on any longer, I get off the floor and reach out and touch his shoulder lightly. He Immediately tenses up and his eyes fly open. He looks up and sees that its me and calms. After that I couldn't help it I just hugged him and sobbed. He hugged me back and we both just sobbed into each others solders.

        I was hugging Anthony and we were both sobbing. I must have been talking in my sleep again, damnit! I didn't want to tell him what happened because he already felt guilty. Now that he knows he's going to feel even worse.

"It's n- not y- your fault Anthony." I say though my sobs trying to make him feel better.   

"Yes i- it is!" He say almost yelling, hugging me tighter.

"An-" Is all I could say before he cut me off.

"Steven they force fed you! I- I should have tried harder!" He says looking up at me tears running down his face.

He was blaming himself. I had no idea what to say so I acted instead.

I reach up and grab is face pulling it toward mine, and I kiss him. I expect him to pull away but he doesn't. He slowly starts to kiss me back.

"St-" He pulls away and trys to say, but I pull him back and kiss him again.

"Not. Your. Fault." I say pulling away.

"O- ok." He says  his face bright red.

By now it was starting to get very late. I look up at Anthony and pat the couch behind me, signaling him to lay with me. He does.

"Good night"
