No one P.O.V

Blackout thought it would be safe to sleep, having slept peacefully for a couple days. However he had been the farthest from safe. When he awoke in the realm of what he had thought was dreams, turned out to be a nightmare.

It was dark, and it was a set up he was sadly all to familiar with. There was an invisible spotlight that shined on him, that being the only light in the room. Eveything else was dark and he gulped now wanting to be in this place.

He knew who would be here and he didnt want to see them. He just wanted to be somewhere nice in a dream for once. Or better in jus best friends arms while he sleeps peacefully. Or just even be near his friend. To be able to feel his warmth and not this dreary cold.

He wondered if maybe he would be left alone for once, but of course he was wrong. Damien stepped out of the shadows and blackout's ears fell to his back. He could plead for mercy all he wanted but Damien was a cold hearted demon who would get what he wanted.

Blackout suffered for hours, going through many diffent things. His arms being chained out so damien could place cuts on already healing scars from self harm, along with being beat up with chained.

And the most painful and cruel thing of all rape. Of course damien wouldn't leave without that. Blackout sobbed on the ground in a curled up ball, damien finally having left but thousands of voices yelling and jeering insults at him while he cried.

Thousands of voices reminding him why he didnt deserve love, how disgusting he was, how this pain and suffering he endured was what he deserved. The pain lasted until every last tear had fallen from his eyes, a heavy emptiness replacing the warmth he had held in his chest.

He awoke to his brother standing over him, a frown upon his face. Blackout got out of bed, akuji helping him stand. He didnt need to be told what had happned in his brothers dream. He had felt all his brothers pain and seen the gruesome things he was forced through.

Silent words and promises were exchanged as akuji helped his older brother into the bathroom. The first thing blackout did was washing his mouth out to rid himself of the awful taste that had been left behind.

Akuji helped him bathe, this being normal for the two seeing as they were brothers. Akuji wanted to help his brother in little ways he could while they were alone. Akuji stitched up wounds that had been opened up on his brothers back. More whipping he concluded, seeing the Mark's shape.

He would pity his brother but he didnt know how to cry and was bad at expressing feelings. He never had been good at it. Akuji let his brother lay there in the bubbles while he grabbed his clothes. He made sure to pick an outfit that would hide all his scars.

Long gloves to hid the cuts, nothing that would show his back, long socks to cover the scars on his legs, a choker to hide the disgusting marks that had been forced upon his neck. Akuji soon returned with the items and helped his brother dress, seeing as he has issues standing and moving.

It was normal for Blackout to come out of a dream with the inability to function properly. It was sad for akuji to see his brother like this. Every time he awoke seemed to be like he was trying to grasp reality but couldn't. Only numbly sit there like a broken doll.

Blackouts phone went off with a happy ringtone. Akuji turned to it and looked to his brother. The only reaction he had was an ear twitch. Akuji sighed and opened up his brother's phone. He of course knew his brothers password it was easy to figure out.

He began to panic a little seeing the text and responded for his brother before going over to him. He was going to come over and akuji knew blackout wouldn't want HIM to see him like this. Why would anyone want their crush and best friend to see them broken down like they cant function? No one would hence why he made sure to help him out.

Akuji helped his brother get ready and when his brother couldn't stay happy for very long they both knew this was going to get them caught. Blackout sighed and made a motion with his tail toward a cabinet. The happy pills if he took this it would keep him from seeming down but not to bad like the crazy happy pills.

But it would force his brother to be happier then he would right now. What option did they have? None. Akuji helped blackout take the pills and then helped him get used to moving again.

A chime from the phone. "Im here" akuji slapped his brothers face a couple times to get him ready.

Blackout walked out of the bathroom with the help of splints hidden under stockings. He went to the door and let his friend in. Of course he wasnt happy. But would he force a smile to keep his friend happy? You can bet your lucky stars he would.

And so blackout forced happy tones and smiles, to make sure nothing seemed out of place. Akuji prayed that some of his forced happiness would become genuine while he was here. He just wanted his brother to be happy....that's all he wanted.

Akuji saw them talk for a while before he went to his room and looked at the calendar, feeling the braille writing. "May 5th.....June 9th...and worse...blackout's birthday..." akuji whispered to himself. Those were the days his parents would visit. They always chose to visit on blackout's birthday. They did this so many times that blackout didnt even celebrate his birthday anymore.

After they left he would hole himself up in his room and stare at a wall. No presents were given. No cake was made. Nothing. Just endless pain and silence.

They wouldn't beat him on his birthday thankfully. Jusy nake sure to tear down every bit of self esteem his brother could of possibly had. Make sure he felt like nothing before they left. He hated their parents with every fiber of his being. Their insults to akuji never fazed him.

Akuji was used to it and his parents opinion didn't matter to him. He couldn't say the same about his brother however. His brother always tried to play it off like he didnt care but he knew better. He knew deep down inside his brother desperately wanted his parents to love him.

Who could blame him? No one and anyone who did would meet a painful demise from akuji. Blackout just wanted his parents to love and accept him. Even if he knew they never would.

What was that akuji heard? It sounded like...akuji crept downstairs again and looked into the kitchen where the noise was coming from. His brother was laughing. As well as his friend. They both seemed to be in tears from their laughter over something.

Akuji smiled. His brother was happy. Good. That's all he wanted. He went back upstairs and layed on the floor thinking for a while. Afterwards he decided to get his typewriter and write a happy little fluff oneshot of his otp like usal.

It wasnt much of a surprise anymore but hey at least everyone was happy now. Akuji typed while listening his brothers loud laughter, tail swishing.

Hopefully this wonderful time wouldn't be ruined. Akuji worried his brother's friend might see his scars of he picked the wrong clothes. He was sure he didnt however and was satisfied by that thought.

He noted to make sure he uploaded his fanfiction so his brother couldn't get rid of it if he found it. Everyone in the house was happy...at least for now.
