The possibility of Rock not noticing the door or the small, dark figure sliding in from behind it had not crossed his mind at all, and when the younger robot startled so dramatically so did his brother. To a very lesser degree; Blues flinched backward with Rockās flopping around the way one may an insect flying toward their face. He was quiet a moment before trying to gauge whether or not the smaller was going to let him speak.
Not that he would be presented with the chance anyway as bright eyes turned toward the minor injuries. Sighing inwardly, Blues made for his sibling. āDonāt be so loud; youāre already in trouble,ā he started as he approached, āWhat would Light do if he caught you sneaking company in after you were already grounded?ā
That teasing quickly turned to distaste however once the doctorās name was mentioned. He grabbed Rockās face under his jaw, trying to avoid the bandaged chin if he could, and twisted his hand to turn the otherās head in either direction. āHe left you like this?ā
Rock squirmed idly as Blues grabbed his face and inspected it, not out of discomfort, but because he'd been made to lie still for hours and was generally a bundle of energy. His face was an awkward mix of the usual excitement at seeing his older brother, and less commonly seen embarrassment, as he tried to nudge the catalogue back under his pillow, blushing a little.Ā
"W-well... I mean... he fixed the grosser stuff, you know..." Rock mumbled, launching himself into a hug with a small grunt, once his face was released. "It's supposed to teach me to take responsibility for my actions, or something. Probably because we get off easy with this kind of stuff. It's mostly okay, though!" He poked his tongue into the gap between his teeth, putting on his best happy face for his brother.Ā
"I hope he doesn't find out you're here, though, or I'll probably get lectured again." He sighed, rolling his eyes and trying to look annoyed instead of hurt. It was hard to say what was worse, having Dr. Light mad at him, or disappointed. They both felt pretty terrible. But now Blues was here, so things were bound to get better.
