Can’t hide it from him

cutewintersoldier:

Flat gave a small whimper as Cut moved him so he’d have to look at his brother. He didn’t want to. Cut was probably disgusted that he had such a worthless brother who could become completely incapacitated for no reason other than just existing. However, when he looked in Cut’s eyes all he saw was care. Care and a lot of worry.

Cut’s words of reassurance made him want to cry for a whole other reason. He didn’t understand, he saw what happened. Why did he say nothing changed?

“Because of this. Nothing made that happen to me, I just stopped working for no reason. If a robot doesn’t work right it means they’re broken.”

Cut stayed silent after Flat had finished speaking, carefully processing the information.

“Well...We can figure out what might be goin’ on, okay?” He said. “It’s not your fault and nobody is going to hate you for it. We could get it figured out sooner if we tell the others, but...If you want to put that off then that’s okay. I’m the first one to know about this, right? If I am, then it doesn’t seem like you’re ready to tell anyone else just yet...”

He rested his forehead against Flat’s once more, giving him an affectionate nuzzle.

“Speaking of, is there anythin’ I can do now that you’re calmed down a bit? We can head down someplace and get ice cream or something if you want to.”

Can’t hide it from him

Flat took a few more deep breaths as he weakly clung to Cut. A few tears trickled down his face as he tried to calm down. The last thing he wanted was another attack right after the last one.

He curled in on himself a bit more when Cut asked why he didn’t want to tell anyone about this. How could explain it? His reasons would just sound stupid but he couldn’t lie to him either, not to his brother.

“I’m scared. I’m broken and people won’t like me if they knew.” A horrible thought occurred to him and he held onto the other DLN tighter. “You probably don’t like me anymore now that you know.”

Noticing the tears, Cut gingerly wiped them away with his thumb. He waited for his sibling to respond, a concerned frown on his face.

His eyes widened slightly in surprise as he listened to Flat. He shifted the smaller DLN in his arms so that he would look at him.

“Hey, hey. You’re not broken. Nobody’s gonna start hating you.” Cut said, gently placing his forehead against Flat’s as the scissors on his head flattened back. He gave Flat a reassuring squeeze. “I still like you fine. Nothing is going to change that, okay? I promise. I want to help.” He paused as a thought-- one that scared him-- occurred to him.

“...Why do you think you’re broken...?”

There could be numerous answers to his question. He didn’t know what answer he would get. He just didn’t want Flat to be afraid that people wouldn’t like him anymore.

Eventually the backed up data was cleared out and he was able to get his temperature to stabilize. It was still a bit warm considering how hard his core had been working but it was much better than it had been before. The attack was over but he was still feeling the after effects. He hadn’t had one this bad in a while and he knew it would have been so much worse if it wasn’t for Cut being there. At least he hadn’t shut down this time.

He buried his face in Cut’s chest when he said he didn’t want him breaking. Well he didn’t have to worry about that, Flat knew he was already broken.

“Pleas don’t tell anyone else.” Large blue eyes looked up at the other robot. The less people who knew about this the better.

The older DLN sighed slightly in relief as he felt Flat’s temperature go down to a more normal level. When he buried his face against his chest, Cut held onto him tighter, nuzzling against him slightly as a form of comfort. Had he known what Flat was thinking about being broken he would have tried to shut down that kind of thinking as soon as possible.

He moved his head away when he heard Flat speaking to him, looking down at his sibling. He frowned, looking concerned. He didn’t want to keep it a secret, but he didn’t want to make Flat even more anxious, either. Just why was he hiding something like this anyway?

“Okay, okay.” Cut replied, his voice rather gentle. “I won’t if it makes you happy, but I have to ask...Why don’t you want anyone else knowing? They can help.”

Can’t hide it from him

Flat was doing all he could to just focus on his simulated breathing trying to ignore the several other thoughts and fears he was having that was just backing up his processor. Just focus on one thing and eventually his processor could start to keep up with everything. The temperature fluctuations continued but slowly the back up in his processor started to fix itself and his core began to work at a normal speed.

However, when seeing Dr. Light about this was brought up his eyes shot open and he looked to his brother pleadingly. “NO! I mean no, it’s ok. This never lasts long.”

Cut was startled when Ice looked up at him so suddenly and so desperately. “Okay, okay. Just calm down.” He said, shifting Flat in his arms slightly. “I just...I don’t want you to end up breakin’ on me, y’know?”

He was growing more worried as he processed the fact that it had all happened before. From how Flat said it, it sounded like he was used to it.

“...” He tightened his grip on Flat, resting his chin gently on his younger brother’s head as he went silent. He wanted to ask how many times it had happened, but decided to wait until Flat calmed down. He didn’t want to get him back to full-out panic.

At the same time, he felt guilty. How many times had Flat been like this and had nobody to help him? How had Cut not noticed it happening?

Can’t hide it from him

Feeling Cut hold him close again helped Ice focus on him better though the contact still made him scared. Being held by Cut would mean he would be able to feel his changing temperature and there would be no way to hide that.

He closed his eyes again and let his core slowly go back to a normal pace as his simulated breathing helped cool is systems off. When he heard Cut ask what was going on again he shook his head. He couldn’t tell him, he just couldn’t.

The feeling of Ice’s temperature changing nearly made Cut panic. He brought his brother closer to himself, resting Ice’s head against his chest. Upon seeing his little brother’s response to his question, he sighed shakily. He tried his best to not appear as though he was scared for his sibling, if only because he feared that would worsen whatever was going on with Ice.

“D’ya need to go to Dr. Light? You keep getting hot and cold...You can tell me what’s going on, you know that, right? I want to be able to help you, bro.”

Can’t hide it from him

Flat wanted to protest as he was picked up but the world seemed to tilt as he was held and he felt sick all over again. There was no way he could make any coherent thoughts let alone a convincing argument.

It was then he found himself in bed and he curled up. His internal temperature started to fluctuate as his headache grew. Ok just focus on Cut, having something other than his attack to think about would held end them fast. Maybe he’d be able to convince his brother it really wasn’t that bad once he was no longer panicking.

Cut’s worry began to grow when Flat didn’t respond to him. That must have meant that Flat was worse off than Cut initially thought.

He took the DLN into his arms again, curling up with him as he attempted to comfort his brother. “...Can y’tell me what’s going on?” He asked, his voice softer than normal as he looked down at Flat. “I’m worried.”

Can’t hide it from him

There was someone talking and he felt something on his shoulder. He opened his eyes to be met with a world of orange and white. Even through his glitching processor he could tell who it was.

No pleas no. Anyone finding him like this would have been horrible but why did it have to be Cut? He’d always been closest to the other DLN and if he saw how broken he really was he wouldn’t want anything to do with him anymore.

“It…it’s nothing.” He grit his teeth as a wave of heat passed threw him. Loss of internal temperature already? He didn’t have much time. “J…just need to g…get to room. I’ll b…be fine.”

Cut frowned when Flat said that it was nothing.

“Bro, you’re stumblin’ around and y’look awful. I don’t think that counts as being fine.” He said. “Here, I’ll take you to your room and y’can rest and tell me what’s goin’ on.” If Flat wanted to go to his room, then Cut would take him there.

That being said, he gently scooped the smaller robot into his arms, carrying him into his room. He struggled a bit with opening the door as he shifted Flat to his other arm, but managed to open it and enter the room. He closed the door shut behind him, carefully setting Flat down on his bed as he sat down beside him.

He looked at his brother, worry in his expression as he waited for a reply. Had he known the full extent of what was going on, he wouldn’t have pushed Flat for an answer.

Can’t hide it from him

No no no. Flat could feel his core start to speed up as his processor backed up. He hadn’t had an attack for over a month now why did they have to start up again? Gritting his teeth threw the horrible feeling he tried to make it to his room. There he could wait it out and no one would see just like every other time. He usually had about 10 minutes before it got too bad so he had time to get there. He stumbled forward down the hall as he grasped the wall. Oh why did he have to be able to simulate nausea? In the mist of his attack he didn’t notice there was someone else in the hall with him.

Cutman had always known that something was off about Flat-- but he didn’t know the full extent of it. He knew that it was something, yet he could never figure it out.

Which was why when he saw Flat stumbling around in the hallway and gripping the wall, Cut knew that it might have had to do with whatever Flat kept trying to hide from everyone.

Concern came over that, however, as Cut went over to Flat, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Hey, are you alright...?” He asked, “Flat, what’s going on?”
