[Pinkie]

Finally out of the ice he smiled and rubbed his legs "Damn thats cold" He said as he shivered a little before standing and looking up to Thalion "Well thats your choice" He said with a shrug of his shoulders "I mean I could always go and see if he needs anything" He said as he began to walk away towards the great hall where everything was taking place "I mean...its not my fault if something else happens between me and your fiancee..." He said with a smirk.

Needren smiled as she looked to him. He knew that Thalion had a hot headed temper. It was something that Needren was counting on as he began to head down the way hallway "I mean...a kiss can only go so far" After that comment he booked it knowing full well what was about to come and he was right the moment he heard his name and the footsteps behind him.

Mizuki stood there for what it was worth as he took some more of his drink "I mean...really...after everything" He said to Luna who gave a growl "You know I think you have had enough of that" She said reaching for the cup but Mizuki jerked it away "No I havent..." He all but slurred "The man I love is standing in a hallway...frozen to the spot because getting...along with another male...is soooooo hard" He said finishing the rest of his drink.

[Rosekitten]

"Tsk he doesn't need anything, especially from you." He said shooting a glare towards Needren. "Nothing is what better happen!" Damn he hated this. Needren out of all people. Now he had more trouble then he asked for. Of all the people the one that knew every greatest fear he could possibly have. Though to be fair he knew a number of the others as well but still. He was part of the reason he left home to start with.

"Wait what do you- Needren!" Damn it. He thought before following after the other. Why did he get the feeling he was going to get in trouble for this? Seeing as it was his doing that they were not frozen to said spot. Either way letting the other just run off on his own with Mizuki probably drunk off his ass.

Neimi had been over with Luna listening to Mizuki go on a bunch. That explained why Thalion was looking for the other though. She found this cute in its own way though as soon as she saw Needren off to the side she laughed a little. "Mizuki.. you used ice magic didn't you?" Anyone who knew Thalion knew staying in one place was not his strong suite and ice was hardly the magic he was weak against.

Thalion grabbed Needren before he got too far or for the moment before Mizuki noticed either of them. "whatever your planning, no. I know how you are and its not going to happen." He wasn't really fighting with Needren at the moment maybe scolding him or saying that no he was not getting close enough to Mizuki to take advantage of whatever state the other was in.

Though with them standing near one another it was hard to miss small details that they shared in common from being related. Though the past few days Thalion had been avoiding the other so most never got to see them just standing near each other to have a chance to catch on to any of that. Though the sibling thing explained a lot, tension on two fronts.

[Pinkie]

Needren smiled as he was stopped by Thalion "Alright alright...so no taking advantage of him" He said raising his hands with a smile "I mean...come to think about it if you cant do it..." He said but laughed the moment he got a punch to the arm from Thalion. Needren couldnt help it really it was who he was...he was a horn dog.

The moment Neimi spoke Mizuki raised his head and looked at her "Yes...though now-" Mizuki paused as a hiccup came and went "-That you mention it...I...should of done something better...for Thalion eh" He said with his head tilted to the side. This was when Luna spoke "Yeah seeing as how they are right there" She said making Mizuki all but spin in his spot as the two came up.

"Hey...hey" He began "You two...are supposed to be...setteling things" He said with a growl looking at them. Luna smirked and crossed her arms "Things like what...the fact they are related?" She asked with a tilt of her head. All of them looked to her at that moment and she shrugged with a smile "What...its the joys of smell being the race I am" She said with a smile "I new of the relation the moment we found Needren let alone got Thalion back" She said with a little laugh.

[Rosekitten]

"Somehow I don't believe your word on that..." Though as Needren continued on Thalion did give him a good punch to the arm. "That is none of your business nor will it ever be.." He said growling a little. Oh god were they different in certain aspects.

Oh things were settled, like the fact he'd have to watch Needren like a hawk now. Though when Luna spoke up it seemed the two looked at one another for a moment. Though that seemed to be a shocking fact to everyone but Luna. "Oh how I hate you.." Thalion said crossing his arms. "That could have saved a hell of a lot of trouble."

"Well seeing as its out there, yeah fun fact I have a older sibling... what are the odds right?" He said rolling his eyes at the thought.Having to deal with someone trying to get at Mizuki was bad enough, his own sibling was another story altogether.

Neimi tilted her head a little listening to all of this. "doesn't this mean they'll just try to kill each other more? I mean my brothers were always at one another's throats." Though they were normally there for the other when it came down to it too. Though each family was different.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki shook his head "Wait...what?" He asked as he looked at the two "Wo wo wo..." He said looking at them both "Your telling me...that...out of all the people in all the world...the one I found...after your death...was your brother?!" He asked and when he got the yes Mizuki gave a little laugh before the eyes rolled back into the back of his head as he fell forward and fainted.

Needren was the first to move as he went forward and cought Mizuki before he fell and hit the ground "Okay so...note to self. When he is that drunk tell him nothing that shocks him" Needren said looking to Thalion with a smile "You know...this is the perfect time to try something if I dared..." He said with a wiggle of his brow.

Though he didnt have a chance to say anything or do anything else as Mizuki was all but snatched from his arms by Thalion. This caused not only Needren to laugh but Luna as well. The both of them seemed to find it funny. Hey want help little bro...I wouldnt mind helping you tuck him in" He said with a smile.

[Rosekitten]

"Just try something.. see how many limbs you have left after." Though he hardly left Mizuki in Needren's arms for more then a moment. Like heck he trusted him that far. "I think telling Mizuki anything when he's drunk is a bad idea in general..." Wasn't that the truth though he was almost surprised Needren hadn't managed anything with Mizuki considering it sounded like he had been here for a few years.

"Yeah yeah keep going on about that little part. Your not that much older." Though he doubted he needed help getting Mizuki to bed and such. Though he wasn't looking forward to morning. Not if he was anything like he use to be after getting plastered.

"Though if you must tag along... seeing as I wasted a lot of energy getting someone else's ass out of a certain ice spell." More or less admitting that odds are he couldn't get away with doing this alone at the moment.

Of course Needren hardly said no. Probably a good excuse to him. Once Mizuki was in the bed Thalion glared at Needren. "Why come looking for me? I've been gone for years, I stopped writing and now you decide to come looking for me?" He had asked once they were both outside of the door.

[Pinkie]

Needren jumped at the chance to help with Mizuki. When the male was in bed and tucked in for the night he fallowed Thalion out the door. He was about to say good night and leave it at that but then the male spoke to him. "I..." But he stopped. This was when his face grew dark and his ears dipped down as he spoke "I wanted to find you" He said "After you left it was all that I could think of" He said lightly.

Needren had his reasons as to why things turned out the way they did. He needed to get Thalion out of that house but he was sure that the male before him wouldnt understand. "There was somethings that I couldnt change Thalion and you need to realize this" He said all joking tones lost as he spoke "You left because I made you" He said turning his head to the side.

[Rosekitten]

"Oh I'm sure, all you could think about my foot." He snapped a little. He recalled leaving because he couldn't do right by Needren or his father. A few times he swore that Needren was trying to kill him. Heck the phobia of being under water was his doing. He told himself for the longest time that his own sibling wasn't trying to kill him but some of the things were just.. made it hard to think that way.

"what do you mean I left because you made me? I left because you nearly killed me on a number of occasions." He shook his head a little. "Now is a hell of a time to come looking for me. Do you know just how unforgiving the world is to a nine year old child?" Especially one without proof of id and no money. He was lucky he was even still alive.

He didn't enjoy being at odds with the other but he was given little choice. He remembered when they got along, like they were family. Though father was still cold but still. what had happened.. he didn't think of anything that he had done to Needren.

[Pinkie]

Needren huffed a little before he looked to Thalion "Trust me it was better then being at home" He said moving away a little from Thalion "It was better then going through the things I did to save you" He said with a growl but this was when Thalion made a comment about how he didnt try and nothing was done. Needren growled "Are you kidding me!?" He all but screamed at Thalion. "I was five when you born Thalion...five" He said to him.

"When you were born mother died...father didnt want to do anything he didnt know the first thing of raising a kid!" He said to him "And you think I had any idea...no I had no idea I was a fucking child!" He said to him "But I did I tried my hardest. I was there to kiss your booboo's better, I was there feeding you and washing you...I did all I could for you!" He said with a growl as he clenched his fists.

"I did more for you then you could even understand" He said with a shudder "I did my job as the older brother. I saved you from that hell hole Thalion" Needren said looking at him as he placed a hand on his chest "I did...me!" He said in a raised vocie.

[Rosekitten]

He knew that, or from what he remembered anyway. Heck the only time their fathers ever said anything to him it was to scold him or to hit him when his temper was hot enough. Or if he was drunk enough... that was often too. He knew Needren had taken care of him when he was younger. Thats why he never understood why things changed.

"Then tell me now, hell I thought for years I had pissed you off or something. Just all of a sudden one day you seemed to hate me even breathing." It was true it was like just out of no where, he was never told why or what was going on.

"I had tried to do everything right by you and you say you cast me aside. Why then? I half started to think that father had gotten to you too with his talks of how I shouldn't have survived or that mother should have been around instead! Hell for a while I thought it was only fair that both of you hated me." He laughed weakly thinking on it.

But he did really want to know, he was old enough now that Needren didn't have to keep protecting him from whatever horrible things that was in their past.

[Pinkie]

"You want to know..." Needren said looking at Thalion but when he got an angry yes he growled "Fine then..." He said "You want to know why I shunned you and pushed you away at such an age..." This was When Needren growled as he moved his head "He had a thing you know...after mother died" Needren said in a broken tone "One night he got drunk...and it all started" He said lightly.

This was when Needren explained to Thalion the details of what he went through. The drunken nights alone with his father after Thalion was in bed. The night things went to far and how they continued. "The drunken rapes and beats was all I lived with for years" He stated brokenly as he moved and pressed his back into the wall before sliding down it.

"Then one night he told me I was to old...that he needed something that was not worked on...something brand new" He said sadly with a little shrug of his shoulders "I stopped him...every time he tried...it was me or you...." He said lightly "Then the beatings started...each time a new bruise or mark" He said with a huff.

"So I did what I had to do" He said "Even though it broke my heart I made you leave and forced you away" He said "I thought you were better off alone then in a place like that" He said with a shrug "You wanted to know why I forced you away...there it is...I am finding you now because the bastards dead and I now have the chance to" He said in a short reply.

[Rosekitten]

He listened to Needren talk about everything that happened over the years. He never knew, how could he have? He had the crazy thought now that he could have done something but he knew he couldn't have. Not at that age anyway. Needren had done everything just to spare Thalion. All those years he had blamed Needren for things and now with the truth out he felt like he had done the opposite of what he should have done.
They were both quiet for a moment before Thalion finally spoke again.

"Why.. why didn't you try to get up with me sooner or something, hell you didn't have to stay there you could have left too." Maybe he couldn't... maybe he stayed behind to make sure that he was safe... He moved finally sitting next to Needren going silent for a moment again.

"all these years and i never knew... damn what was i blind.." He said shaking his head a little. "Yet now you finally found me and we're stuck in this hell instead."

[Pinkie]

Needren shook his head as Thalion spoke "I couldnt..." He said lightly "He always threatened to find you" He said with a shake of his head. "You didnt know because I didnt want you to know" He said with a nod of his head as he felt Thalion sitting down beside him. This was when Thalion spoke again and Needren smiled some before lightly rocking against the male pushing him to one side.

"Its not that bad you know" He said "I found you didnt I...not to mention that hot man piece you have yourself there" He said with a smile though batted the air as Thalion said not to think about it. "What you think just because your back I will stop trying to get him?" He said with a little laugh "Nah...whats the fun in that?" He asked lightly with a little sigh before he closed his eyes.

"I am sorry Thalion...for leaving you all those years ago" Needren said "I never wanted to...if I could I would of left with you" He said "but I couldnt take the chance not with the threats he made...finding us we would of been dead" Needren said lightly with a little huff and a shrug of his shoulders.

After that he placed his hand on the males knee and patted it twice before using it to push off of the floor. Standing before Thalion he smiled a little "I am glad I found you Thal" He said with a little nod "And dont worry...big bros back" He said winking before leaving and entering his room. As soon as the door was closed he gave a shuddering breath before he retreated into the darkness.

[Rosekitten]

Yeah he figured thats why Needren didn't leave. Over the ears he had probably been nearly impossible to track down. Not like tracking someone after all those years would have been easy by any means even with good leads.

"It is that bad I died remember?" He shuddered at the thought of it. That was not a pleasant feeling, let alone waking up was more of a shock then the death. "Heh... there is a rather long story on how that happened..." Wasn't that the truth. Somehow he doubted Mizuki had told him. He glanced at Needren as he said he said he wasn't going to stop. "I'd expect nothing less, I'd almost be disappointed if you did stop."

"Yeah.. well I know that now." He sighed a little. If only things had been different. Though because of everything he even met Mizuki. Things happen for a reason heh. Least neither of them had to worry about that now right? He said the old man was dead and all. But still if he had known maybe he could have .. helped years ago or something?

"glad huh? What were you worried I didn't make it on my own?" Though remembering his childhood it maybe was a bit of luck he had made it. Though the next comment he glared at before standing as well. "Yeah yeah... though I think I've managed without you for this long, not sure your needed anymore." Though he was joking. In a way maybe he was glad this all happened. It had mended over the issues in a way. Maybe not dealing with Mizuki but the other ones.

As the other moved towards the other room he stopped him a moment. "Don't leave me out anymore ok? Your not alone even if you think its your job to be the older brother." He had to let the other know that he was here for him. If he needed anyway. Its all he could say or do for now.

Though after the other closed the door he went back into the room with Mizuki as he sighed heavily. Mizuki was still out of it. Probably would be all night too. For now he had a lot on his mind so he sat on the edge of the bed. Just everything wasn't it?

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was out cold for the entire night and didnt wake until later the next day. Groaning he placed a hand on his head as he sat up "By the gods" He said with a groan "I will never touch that shit again" He said before he heard a chuckle off to the side. Looking over he noticed Needren standing at the door "You always say that yet you never learn" He said with a laugh walking in side the room.

"I mean it this time" Misuki said moving to sit on the edge of the bed "You always say that to" Needren said and Mizuki growled as he glared at the male. Mizuki moved and stood from the bed. It took him a moment to gather his balance but once it was there he didnt loose it. Moving he went about and got what he needed and headed to the bathroom attached to the room.

After a moment or two he came back out fully dressed and braiding the last bit of his hair. No one had seen his hair down but himself and Thalion and he intended to keep it that way "You suck" Needren said with a huff as he crossed his arms "Not going to happen and you know that" He said with a growl.

This was when Mizuki walked over to him "Well since your here...." He said looking Needren he glared as he slapped the male across the face "That. Sir. Is from last night" He said with a growl "If you ever try that again I will kick your ass and trust me you will not be able to move for a week" He said with a nod of his head "Do I make my self clear?" He asked and Needren smiled as he nodded "Crystal" He said with a smile.

Needren knew that was coming and he was prepared for it. He knew he crossed the line but it was worth it for the moment of contact. Though Mizuki as well as himself knew that it would happen again or at least attempted. It had been that way for almost five years why would it change now?

Mizuki sighed as he began to walk out of the room "So where is Thalion?" He asked. He needed to speak with the male and Needren knew that "Last I saw he was out at the training grounds with that halfbreed" Needren said with a shrug. Mizuki smiled "Alright" He said as he headed in that direction only stopping his footsteps when he stood and waited for Thalion to stop swinging at the male before him.

[Rosekitten]

Reluctantly he had left Needren with Mizuki. Very reluctantly. Though he had told Raden he was going to practice today. The ranger wasn't good at melee combat at all and his ranged skills were, nothing to laugh at, still in the works. Though he hardly minded training with the half blood. He didn't talk a lot, well most of the time.

They had been at it all morning and poor Raden probably was more then happy to stop at this rate. Really in the real world Thalion probably would have been better suited to take up a military career then anything he had done. Though he didn't really like following orders that well. But would when he had to.

After a moment he noticed Mizuki as he finally let up so Raden could lower his guard before nearly fallow over before he steadied him. "Gonna make it? You said you wanted the help." Raden nodded a little before panting and planting his hands on his knees till he felt like he could move again. He couldn't get long sessions like this in with Raden before when they were traveling. Too much of a danger for them both to try and push whatever limits there were.

Though moving towards Mizuki he paused a little not sure if he should expect the other to be ticked or not. Ok probably both, he kind of deserved the ticked part after saying he needed to think like a damned idiot. Plus apparently saying anything or breaking up that kiss and fighting with Needren... Though that hardly stopped him from acting normally.

"Finally awake are you?" Though he half could see that Mizuki was still affected by the drinking he had done last night. Probably paying for it. Though now he waited for whatever lashing the other had prepared to come all the way out here.
