Blake woke up to the smell of fresh food being cooked. He tried to get up, but a strong grip stopped him. He was grateful and panicked about it. Grateful because weakness had hit and he would've dropped to the ground instantly. Panicked because of the flashbacks. He glanced back to see Gold resting beside him, putting him at ease. He smiled faintly as he let his fingers dance on the older male's nose, irritating him.

"Stop..." Blake giggled as he snuggled against him.

"No..." Gold simply grunted and hugged him closer in response. Blake felt comfort in his grip. Another voice killed the silence.

"Food's ready!" Gold immediately got up, leaving Blake with a rush of cold air. He wasn't complaining, but it gave him an uneasy feeling. A faint conversation filled the air before he was picked up.

"Sorry..." He heard Gold whisper as he was carried to the food.

"You're good." He was placed down as a plate of food appeared in front of him and his stomach growled. He thanked the person before Gold helped him back to the couch he was on.

"What do you do, starve yourself?" Blake was about to counter with the fact that he had gotten kidnapped when he saw a sarcastic grin cross Gold's face. He then changed the comeback.

"Sōdo's not any better!" Gold bit his lip to contain his laughter. Sadly, it was too much before the duo busted out laughing.

"Contain yourselves and eat!" Blake jumped at the sudden voice before Gold let out a loud complaint.

"Make me!" Shuffling came as Blue came out and Gold hid behind his food, quickly eating. She hummed before smiling at Blake and going into the kitchen. Gold sighed before finishing his food.

"You shouldn't be dying like that."

"Shut up, you." Blake scoffed as he ate the food. It was great after his stomach was full. Green went back over and whacked Gold. The older boy let a chuckle out before she turned her attention to Blake.

"How are you doing?" Blake smiled weakly.

"Better... things are harder after such an experience, but I'll be alright." She nodded as he looked down. "So... back to the detention center-"

"No." He looked up at her. "Actually, Gold is taking you to your new placement. We thought it would be best." Blake was quiet as Gold picked him up.

"Come on. Sōdo already got your stuff to the place. Let's get going."

^~*~^

Blake was quiet as they arrived at their destination. The house looked cozy as Gold knocked.

"Дракон хочет войти!" A female voice shot out!

"Точно нет!"

"Ма! Пожалуйста!" A noise followed before someone opened the door. Blake buried his head into the Lightforest's back. He glanced up as Sōdo smiled at them.

"C'mon in." They went in as Blake trembled. He didn't like this. Not at all. He kept a grip on Gold's jacket as they went to the living room. "Come on, buddy." He looked out enough to give Sōdo a look of 'Something's wrong'. Though, Sōdo probably understood that he was overreacting.

Gold gently tugged him out from behind him, forcing him out of hiding and giving him a chance to look around. There was a lot of red covering the place, but there were some other shades and colors. Just more red. He caught sight of a blur of blue from the corner of his eye before a female voice cut through.

"Золото ... это кто это принес?" His eyes followed the voice until they hit a pair of red eyes. He froze up, not able to move for a minute before Gold saved him.

"Кортни! Вы знаете, кто это! Это брат, которого забрал Па!" The red eyes narrowed before the owner gently sniffed him. He still couldn't move.

"На него не похоже."

"Но это! Содо это подтвердил!" Sōdo smiled at that before finally getting Blake into his arms.

"Rette mich."

"Blake, es ist in Ordnung. Das ist deine Familie." He looked at the Blade before looking back at the argument.

"No way..." Shuffling came before an older female voice came through.

"Золото! Кортни! Отдельный! Теперь!" They quickly looked away as someone entered.

"Sorry mama..." The older lady huffed before her eyes landed on the small Wave. She gently went over before touching his shoulder, gaining a tremble from him.

"Blake?" He turned to her before she pulled him into a hug. "О мой мальчик! Ты в безопасности!" His face warmed up as he tried to find an exit. He felt Gold's hand steady him before his brother's voice cut through.

"Welcome home, Blake."

The tears didn't wait for him. They went for it as he returned the hug and cried into the lady's shoulder. She gently hushed him, slowly calming him as he let the feelings out. Finally, he was able to pull away before a tissue started cleaning up the tears.

"Shh... Я так рада, что ты сейчас здесь... отдыхай..." He trembled gently before his mind circled back. If he was going to be here, he was going to regain his Russian.

"Спасибо, мама." He managed before she smiled at him. She must've seen the struggle as she picked him up.

"Come on, мой дорогой Блейк. Let us get you comfortable."
