Cain was having trouble choosing what the last two questions would be. Though he had heard Andrew come down the stair so faintly, this just made Cain stop writing all together. Normallay, Andrew would just walk down normally and not bother if his footsteps were loud or not. But tonight, it was barely there. Cain knew something was definitely wrong. He dropped his pen and stood up, the questions could wait. He left his study and went to join Andrew for dinner.
When he got there, Cain could feel a strange aura of fear and something he didn't know. He was no soul fae to be able to tell. He just knew that Andrew was afraid of something. Was he afraid of Cain? Did he do something wrong? He came in, placed a kiss on Andrew's head and sat across Andrew, seeing for himself the face that his young lover was showing.
”Andrew? Is something wrong? You do not look so good. Are you feeling well?”
[/b] he asked with concern yet didn't move from his seat. He didn't want to suffocate the other with his concern and worry. He was going to find out first what had happened. Then worry some more.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color] Outfit [/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Clicky!Notes[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Welcome To Your New Home[/i] Tagged[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Andrew Locke[/i] Song[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Come Home – One Republic[/i] Credit[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Desty~![/center]

By the time Cain made it down the steps, Andrew was shaking slightly. This was crap. Tobias was just trying to break them up, wasn't he?! Well, that was a dumb question. The guy hated him enough to attempt murder just because he found out that Andrew was dating Cain, so breaking them up in aftershock was just another little part of his plan, probably. Andrew also felt like crap. He couldn't justify taunting and yelling at Cain's brother, torture or not. Maybe he could, but he didn't want to have to. It was just another dumb move in a long-ass list of dumb moves Andrew had made.
He couldn't look Cain in the eyes, of course. He felt sick, and the internal guilt hurt so much more than the aching on his back. It was disgusting, frustrating, horrible...Andrew had a list forming in his mind simply to distract himself from the current situation.
The slight kiss burned its way through his forehead, and the gentle words from Cain's mouth ached bitterly. Andrew wanted to scream, but knew he couldn't. The physical effect of keeping the hurt and the truth inside showed itself through a thin sheen of sweat forming over his brow and in little beads of sweat that swept down his face. "N-no..it's fine." Bullcrap. Even an idiot could see through that. "Er, maybe I have a flu or something. But it's fine," he tried a bit harder. That excuse seemed a bit more plausible. But Cain was bound to through that, too.

Cain knew Andrew wasn't alright. He didn't know why Andrew wold not tellhim what had happened but pushing the teen to say anything was never a good idea. Cain simply sighed, stood up, went to his medical cabinet and pulled out a few vials of potions. He went back to Andrew's side and pulled up a chair. ”I don't know why you won't tell me what's wrong but I won't push you. I know better than to force you to say anything if you don't want to. But let me just check you if your really alright. Please...”
[/b] The tone of Cain's voice was nearly begging. He didn't want to see Andrew looking like he was going to collapse at any point. Cain took out his want, waiting for Andrew's permission to let him have a scan of his body. Can was no healer, but he was proficient enough to do a scan and remedy minor injuries.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color] Outfit [/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Clicky!Notes[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Welcome To Your New Home[/i] Tagged[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Andrew Locke[/i] Song[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Come Home – One Republic[/i] Credit[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Desty~![/center]

Why did Cain have to ask these things of him? Why did he have to pry into what would only lead to him walking out the door? Or worse, simply kick Andrew out said door. He knew of the bonds between Redfernes, that they were thick as blood - deeper, even, because of the torment that they'd endured together. The shallow, impassioned love between them couldn't possibly match up to that. Andrew could only hope that Cain would give him a moment's chance to explain, and perhaps then not loathe him so much.
So it was really no wonder that Andrew was so completely unwilling to let Cain see the scars. First he'd said something dumb to Tobias, then got in a fight with him, and now lied to him? Three strikes and you're out.
That's when it hit Andrew. Duh. At least he could alleviate the pain a bit if he didn't lie. If he simply showed Cain himself. "N-no. You don't have to." With trembling fingers and downcast eyes, he stripped the shirt off messily, leaving it on the floor and exposing the bandages that wrapped around his chest and waist, covering the scars that would destroy any hope of love they had.

Cain was surprised and shock to have seen the bandages. He wondered how he got those and who gave him those. He stood up again to grab a few more potions. When Cain got back, he ran a scan over Andrew and was shocked to have found out what he did. Despite wanting to ask, Cain carefully took off the bandages, manually cleaned them and placed a cool healing gel on the wounds. He banished the old wrappings and took a purple vial and gave it to Andrew.
”Drink this, your muscles will feel better and the ache will subside after a few minutes.”
[/b] Cain said softly as he watched Andrew not looking at him. Cain sighed, closed the vial again and slowly pulled Andrew close to him. He gently stroked Andrew's head. ”What am I to do with you? If I ask you want happened, I have a feeling you'd lie or not say anything at all. if I don't ask you, I feel like I have not done my part to protect you. Will you tell me when your ready? You don't have to if you don't want. I'll understand.” Cain said as he just sat there, holding his young injured lover close for comfort.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color] Outfit [/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Clicky!Notes[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Welcome To Your New Home[/i] Tagged[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Andrew Locke[/i] Song[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Come Home – One Republic[/i] Credit[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Desty~![/center]

He was still sweet because he didn't understand, of course. And it was oh, so tempting to just never say a word about it, and let Cain think he was still deciding about it, haunted by whatever tragedy the man's mind had come up with. But as Cain cleaned him up so swiftly with whatever fragrant potion, Andrew's resolve lessened. How could he possibly lie to someone like that? Not to mention, whatever it was that Cain was putting on his scars felt even better than the bath had. The best comparison he could think of was aloe and a burn. He almost moaned from the pure pleasure at the feeling.
But he didn't. He couldn't. He didn't deserve it.
Instead, he selfishly clung to Cain's shirt, taking in the musical quality to his voice, begging and pleading to him inside his head to not let him say anything, to not let him go, to not kick him out. What really came out of his mouth were more garbled sounds, incoherent ones mixed with tears that he just couldn't fucking hold back. He was so weak. So hypocritical. So pathetic.
So much so that he had so say it. Cain was too good to lie to. Too perfect to be with him. "Tobias," he managed out when he could speak, sounding way more than a crying, useless teenage girl than he wanted.

Cain held Andrew as he began to cry once again. He remembered the day he met him at the theater hall. Andrew cried in his arms then as he was crying in his arms now. It pained Cain to see him the way he was. He didn't know how to fix it because he didn't know what had happened.
Andrew was saying things that Cain couldn't understand which just broke his heart because it meant that whatever Andrew was hiding was something too big or too personal for him to say it. But after a while, Andrew spoke a name that Cain was far too familiar with. He slowly moved Andrew away from his body so he could see his face. The teen's eyes were red from crying, ”What do you mean Tobias? What does he have to do with anything? Did he hurt you?”
[/b] he asked, hoping it was not what Cain thought. He knew Tobias and Cain knew that his hoping was in vain.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color] Outfit [/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Clicky!Notes[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Welcome To Your New Home[/i] Tagged[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Andrew Locke[/i] Song[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Come Home – One Republic[/i] Credit[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Desty~![/center]

Andrew flinched as Cain picked up on his declaration. A small portion of him - that was now growing to be a bigger portion - hoped that Cain wouldn't hear it, that his muffled voice would be enough to cover the sound. Of course not. But still, he could hope. It hurt like a slap that Cain understood so quickly. Andrew could almost feel the time of their relationship slipping away. Time again was conspiring to kill him. He must be in cahoots with Tobias.
Scared to death, but sticking to his decision, Andrew went on, voice soft and breaths shallow. "He...found out. About us. And got mad...I think I goaded him...but he reacted so fast! I couldn't know that he would try to kill me!" His words went from slow and nervous to fast and pleading towards the end.
Too fast. He'd made a mistake. He didn't mean to mention the whole murderer-Toby part. He was just going to make it sound like a fight, not a homicide. Andrew jerked back in horror as he realized his mistake, covering his mouth, trying to cover the mistake as well. "I - uh - I mean - he wasn't trying to - I mean - it wasn't -" Stupid words just spilled out, not really helping at all. Great. Now he was certainly going to get kicked out. If Cain didn't kill him himself, right then and there.

All the things around seemed to stop moving. Did he just hear it right? Tobias tried to kill Andrew? He knew how Tobias was but he never thought he'd go that far. He quickly yet gently pulled Andrew close. ”Tobias nearly killed you? How did that happen? Why didn't you call for me?”
[/b] he asked frantically.He pulled away and looked Andrew over once again. He was panicking. What did Tobias do? ”What else did he do to you? Where are you hurt? Merlin Andrew, tell me what happened before I storm off and skin my own brother alive for harming you! What was he even thinking?! Didn't he know that if your hurt it was like he was hurting me?” Cain was so worried and a bit shocked at the thought that his own brother would have been the cause of his death if anything happened to Andrew. Anything at all.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/color] Outfit [/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Clicky!Notes[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Welcome To Your New Home[/i] Tagged[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Andrew Locke[/i] Song[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Come Home – One Republic[/i] Credit[/b]┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Desty~![/center]

What? Andrew just had to stop for a second, tears and anger and fear and everything. Did his brain just get that? Or were his dreams suddenly making him hallucinate what he wanted to happen, and he was just finally going crazy? Because he could've sworn he'd just heard Cain say that he was upset at Tobias. Not him. In hindsight, it really wasn't his fault at all, well...maybe 5%. But he'd figured that Cain would have simply assumed that he was in the wrong and resented him for it. Instead, it almost sounded as if Cain was blaming Tobias.
"You...you mean you don't hate me?" he squeaked out, disbelieving. Any kind of pain reliever or revenge of Cain's could be dealt with later. At the moment he needed to reaffirm that he was sane. That, by some incredible chance, Cain still loved him. More than that, he seemed to want to know if Andrew was hurt even more. Andrew wasn't sure he was able to talk about the pain that Tobias had caused him, although the emotional pain was critically worse than even the near-death experience.
