And where did my love ahookforaheart go?
" Are you pregnant?"

"What? Are you out of your mind Killian? Of course I'm not pregnant, I can't be pregnant for god's sake. Whatever made you ask that in the first place?"

Was that enough?
Okay, keep a straight face Zarek, he's your brother, he's not going to yell a – okay maybe he is. But if he is it's because he's concerned.
Breathing in deep, he tried not to hype himself up, even if he was already anxious and wound up. It didn't help half his face hurt, he had a split lip, a black eye, what felt like a bruised or cracked rib – and then there was the bruising around his neck.
Whoever had taken a go at him did a good amount of work, thing was it had been more than one. He'd tried to fight them off, he did, but there was only so much he could do, especially with someone holding rope around his neck.
His chest rose and fell as he took another breath, pulling on one sleeve to chew on it as he reached out with the other hand to knock at Killian's door. It hurt to move, to think, to even focus on anything at the moment.
But he had nowhere else to go, even if he felt slightly ashamed to be running to Killian again.
They were both grown up, he shouldn't be relying on his brother like this, but who else did he have to run to? At least that wouldn't go into a panic right away...
Are you really in love with your brother?
"I think that's between Killian and I. But if you must know; yes I am. He's all I got."
" Marry me?"
”What? Did I mishear you?”
The black eye wasn't the worst part honestly, he'd been through worse. Though something told him that he had a few broken ribs that were healing slowly due to Zarek's hunger. Then there was the bruising around his neck that Zarek was thankful no one could see since he was hiding in the forest.
As long as he was far away, he didn't have to deal with any one, or bother them any more.
Huddled up in front of his fire at his old camp in the forest, he hugged the coat he'd snagged from Killian to his chest. The hood of the hoodie he'd gotten some time back covered his head, giving him some amount of comfort. Though every time he tried to lick his lips it hurt since the bottom one was split.
He was a mess and he knew it.
Worse, he was too scared to go to Killian and admit he was wrong, or that he'd done something wrong.
ahookforaheart you made Z do that 'jump and drop something' move. jfc
