Confessions of a Train-Wreck || Matters
“I’m drawing the line at rabbit food, salad does nothing!” He told him with a chuckle.
“Okay! No rabbit food,” Anders promised, before slowing down once they were outside. He looked back at Mattie, with curiosity. “So should I... Is it okay if I ask what happened? Or should I wait to ask another time?”

He wondered why Anders was stuttering so much but didn’t so anything about it. “You know it doesn’t matter to me what we eat I’m starved.”
Anders pulled the other man out of the room and nodded, heading down the stairs. He didn’t know where they’d go eat, but he didn’t care. For now, he was happy by holding Mattie’s hand and knowing he was really there. “Okay! Salad it is, then! But not really. I don’t like salad much.”

Mattie bit his lip, suddenly remembering himself. His stomach was so empty he wondered when the last time he had a proper meal was. “Does that list of things include eating together?”
“Does it ever?” Anders responded, not able to hold back his laugh. He reached for Mattie’s hand and pulled on it, toward the door. “Let’s go eat someth- eat something together! What would you like?”

Mattie closed his eyes, thinking of Elias and how his death would impact Anders. He couldn’t handle it… if Anders were to witness Elias’s death. He had to figure out a way to stop that from happening. “What kind of things?”
“Well, all of them! That you want to, of course,” Anders replied merrily. “If you need my help with anything, you can ask and I will always want to help you, no matter what it is. I feel safe when you’re around me, so maybe you’ll feel similar with me.”

Mattie pulled him back into a hug, longing to be right there with him. Then h let out a chuckle. “I know,” He said, trying to lighten the mod. “You are the Prince, you should be wearing shining armor every once in a while Rescuing me or- whatever.”
Anders nodded. “I’ll always be like that! I mean- Not figuratively, because I suck at moving without armors already, so it’d be worse with them - But I’ll be there whenever you need my help, and I can pack a punch when I want to!” he exclaimed, pressing Mattie against himself in the hug. “We can do things together.”

“If you- if you don’t mind me staying with you tonight.” He knew he was acting strange and tried not to think about it. “Next time, I’ll warn you. I promise.” He told him, putting a hand on his chest and looking down for a moment. Being back here was strange, on the street he was able to throw all of his emotions away and act like a pro but here… among his new family, he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t lie to them.
“Have I ever- Have I ever minded?” Anders replied, smiling at Mattie. He was just glad to have him back; it was terrible when Mattie wasn’t around and Anders didn’t even know if he was okay or something like that. “Thanks. I’d love it if you did. And if you ever need help... I can do it, okay? You don’t have to protect me all the time. I can protect you as well.”

Mattie leaned into the hug. resting his chin on Anders’ shoulder for a little bit before the hug was broken up once again. “I don’t want you on the streets.” He told him sweetly. But I’ll send some nights with you, I promise, I’ll try and figure out something for us, okay? But for now, I’ll stay here until I’m a little more fixed up. I don’t think Elias will let me leave just freshly bandaged anyway.” He sighed, “And from now on I-I’ll uh… I’ll try and let you in on what I’m feeling… I’m just…” He looked down, “I like to deal with things on my own. I’m not used to sharing my problems with others… Kinda spent a long time without anyone, remember?”
Anders nodded, listening. “He won’t let you,” he agreed. “Would you like to sleep with me? I’ll let you if you want. And that’s okay... That you want to handle things on your own. We- We all have to, sometimes. But I just want a little heads-up. I don’t want to feel worried for days until you show up again...”

“And there we have it, the truth at last.” Elias chuckled, following his brother down the stairs, “That is the way it should be done.” he smiled, glad Anders was happier, “And things will get better Anders, I promise you.” he desperately hoped he could keep that promise.
Anders left the books in his room as soon as they got to the floor below, and made his way outside to meet his brother once more. “Okay, ready!” he exclaimed, and smiled. “I’m- I know they will. Thanks, Elias.”

Mattie walked closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder, leaning forward to give him a kiss on the cheek. Pressing his smaller frame against Anders body. Being gentle with him. “I’m healing, Anders, don’t worry, please. I’ll be fine.” He whispered in his ear when he pulled away. He stroked his face and gave him a quiet smile. “I know we’re family now, but Anders you need to understand that I don’t belong in a fancy place like this. I’ll heal some here, and then I’m going back to the streets. I think that’s where I belong, but I mean- I’ll never be sure. And just so we’re clear, I’ll always love you.”
Anders hugged Mattie when he kissed his cheek, pulling him close but trying not to hurt him, of course. “I- I- I told you that I’d go with you if you wanted to leave,” he said. “But I’m not talking about leaving here, Mattie. I- I want you to tell me things, and why you feel bad and things like that. I want to be with you when you’re suffering and suffer with you, because that’s what couples do,” the prince continued, holding back his own tears because they felt like they were coming out. “I thought you didn’t want to be with me or something, and that’s why you left and- Well, I just wanted to know you were happy and okay.”

Mattie gave him a little smile, “I found out my father was in town and I uh- I freaked and left for a bit. Then I attacked him and he fought back pretty hard.” He sighed, “I know I shouldn’t have just left but I- I didn’t really want anyone involved with my…. family matters.” He breathed out the last part, he didn’t know if he should consider his father family. He did after all, leave his son on the streets alone with not a clue on how to defend himself.
“I’m really sorry, Anders…”
“W- Well, are you... are you okay?” Anders asked, still worried. He was terrified of what that man could do to Mattie and, judging by the way he looked, he was right in being so. “I... Mattie, I was worried- I thought you didn’t want to be here any longer, or that- Never mind,” he added, before looking him over. “People like him aren’t family, Mattie. You have a... A family, here. I’m here for... I want to help you, with things. With everything. I love you, so- so we can’t keep each other from things like these. I mean, if you still- You know.”

Mattie stood outside of Anders’ door for what felt like a long period of time. Just staring at the wooden pattern blankly. He tried to think of what to say. Because he didn’t want Anders to be upset with him, but also didn’t know if he could allow his boyfriend to worry about him either.
His hand lingered on the door handle and he breathed out a quiet huff. Alright, Mattie. Just open the door and talk to him, it can’t be that hard. The alley cat thought before twisting the golden door handle and walking into the room. Once he was in, he closed the door behind him and stared at the floor for a bit.
A dark red cut running down his cheek, down his chin, to the beginning of his neck. “Hey,” He said softly, looking up from the floor to him. Dark bruises spotted his pail skin. He knew he looked awful. He felt it, too. But he needed to apologize.

Anders had been carefully arranging the books he’d taken from the library, so that he’d remember to take them back there the next day before work. He also found that keeping himself occupied took his mind a little bit away from Mattie, which was... sane, he assumed.
The visit surprised him, and the prince couldn’t help but stare at his boyfriend. He wanted to smile at him, but the way he looked was awful. He wanted to make sure he was fine, but he couldn’t find the words just yet. He simply didn’t expect him to come in so soon. “H- Hello,” he finally responded, and stepped closer, carefully, without trying to touch him. “Wh- What happened to you...?”
Rooftop Reflection || Elias & Anders
¡“Good, that’s good to hear.” he smiled, holding the door open for Anders to walk through, “Are you sure?” he grinned mischievously, “I mean I would hate to inconvenience you like that? Duty is important I grant you, but I can endure loneliness for chocolate.”
“Okay, fine, I want chocolate,” Anders said as he walked through the door, proceeding carefully down the stairs so as to not topple over the bunch of books. “We’ll have chocolate for t- for two!”
Rooftop Reflection || Elias & Anders
Elias smiled, “It’s a recent thing really. I hope you like them?” he asked, gathering the last of the books and heading for the stairs, “Ahh, that is very good of you little brother. And since it’s only me who is going to have chocolate I’ll make sure that there is only enough for me.” he chucked, “That seems the best way to do it.”
“I like it!” Anders agreed, picking up the pile of books and carefully walking back to the door that would lead them inside. “And no, I’ll just... We’ll share, the chocolate, so you don’t feel all lonely eating it on your own! It- It’s my duty!”
Rooftop Reflection || Elias & Anders
Elias smiled, Anders was beginning to sound a little better. “Here, let me help.” he waved a hand towards his brother and his magic dressed him in green pants, a light green shirt and a dark green waistcoat. One upside to the curse, he’d gotten better with his powers. “Green suits you.” he smiled and moved to help him pick up the books, “I am in the mood for chocolate.” he chuckled.
Anders chuckled and looked down at his outfit. “Hey, I didn’t know you could do that!” he exclaimed with a grin, and kept on picking up books. “You’re always in the mood for chocolate, Elias,” the prince said, “but I’m not one to judge! I suppose we’ll have to get chocolate if you really want it. Just because you want to, though.”
Rooftop Reflection || Elias & Anders
Elias pretended to think think about it, “Hmm, I make no promises.” he chuckled, wiping the remnants of any tears off his brothers face. “I know you are. But all the same, we should go and eat, don’t you think?” he smiled, “Although, you should change first, how many days have you been in those clothes now?” he asked.
“I don’t know, but I am hungry,” Anders concluded, standing up and turning to look at all the books. He hated to pick up messes, but he figured he’d have to, soon starting to pile the books up again. “I haven’t eaten with you in a while, either!”
Rooftop Reflection || Elias & Anders
“Oh that remains to be seen.” he smiled softly, he was a lying hypocrite who was running from the truth and all manner of other things. He rubbed Anders’ back. “I think… I think he will return when he is ready, and we cannot force him either way.” he snorted quietly, “You may not be angry with him, but I am. No one hurts my younger brother.”
Anders chuckled. “We- Well, just don’t make a statue out of him, okay?” he asked, before grinning. At least the tears were released already, and he was feeling much more weightless. “I’m going to be okay. Thank you.”
Rooftop Reflection || Elias & Anders
“And you would do well to not follow my example.” Elias smiled sadly, stroking his brothers cheek, “I can run a country, yes. But little else. You have been hurt, Anders it’s okay to be hurt. It’s okay to be angry. Don’t be like me, you’re perfect as you. And frankly, the last thing the world needs is another me.” He sighed softly, “You will be. But for now, it’s fine if you aren’t.”
“The world would be great with more people like you,” Anders stated, hugging his brother again. He was no longer crying, but he still needed it. “Do-- Do you think he’s coming back soon? I want to say bye to him at least, if he doesn’t want to stay with me. I’m not angry at him, I think.”
