Human Shield - Whumptober Day 4

"I think that's enough now." Flitz moves to stand in front of Luke, wings pricked.

"Oh, come on. I was just having some fun." Matt folds his arms across his chest.

"I've said that's enough. It's time to leave." Luke hadn't ever heard Flitz sound so cold.

He hated how useless he was, shifting his weight from leg to leg as he panics, hiding behind Flitz and definitely not crying. Rhynn is near him, he can hear the small huffs as she breathes, as she listens to Matt's speech. She isn't as ruined intimidated by Matt as Luke is, doesn't feel the need to run away, to hide, or to fall back into his arms.

"Come off it, why not ask him what he wants. Surely he deserves the choice." Matt tries, sauntering towards him. 

"One more step and I'm snapping the feathers from your wings." Rhynn snarls, joining Flitz in front of Luke. "Touch him again and you're dead."

At only five foot two, she's so much smaller than Matt's almost six feet, but her attitude makes up for it and he stumbles back slightly, palms raised.

"Fine. Keep him. He's ruined anyway. I don't want him any more." He turns around with an irritated flick of his wings. 

"Fucking c-."

"That's enough, Rhynn. Grab the shopping and let's get gone." He turns back to Luke, crouching in front of the younger man. "Hey, it's okay. He's gone now."

Luke barely dares raising his eyes, but only finds Flitz's smiling face looking at him. "N-not mad?"

"Of course not. You're family now. Let's get you home and warm, yeah?"

24 things about Luke

(Part 2)

13) He no longer believes in love. Matt made sure to break that out of him.

14) When he was rescued, he just sat in silence and watched. It took four days for him to speak.

15) After Matt, his parents refused to talk to him. No matter how much Flitz argues to them, they think he's tainted.

16) He can never find a comfortable position to sleep in and always ends up with a bent wing.

17) He's slightly jealous of Rynn, but would also protect her with his life.

18) His wings are usually a good indicator of his emotions, especially when he's mad.

19) He has burn marks down his back. He refuses to talk about them.

20) He blushes too easily for his liking, but Rhynn thinks it's cute and teases him about it.

21) His favourite colour is blue. Any shade, and often matching the sky.

22) He's got a bad habit of hiding himself away when he's overwhelmed. Rhynn was the first person to be able to get through to him when he first did it.

23) Unlike Flitz, he's always too warm.

24) He is most definitely not in love with Flitz at all.

24 things about Luke

(Part 1)

(Since today would be his birthday)

1) He doesn't like birthdays so he makes sure Flitz doesn't celebrate his. (He still eats the cake Flitz brings)

2) He's the youngest of three, his brother and sister twins and six years older. His brother refuses to speak to him, but his sister calls monthly.

3) He'd rather people stare at the mask than the scars underneath. It's easier to make up an excuse for it.

4) The ages of 19-22 were spent with a guy called Matt. He didn't stay voluntarily and Flitz ended up rescuing him.

5) His brother pushed him out of a tree when he was six. He broke his arm and collarbone, and his brother just laughed.

6) Flitz reading aloud is one of his favourite things. He won't admit it, but he prefers when he reads poetry.

7) People touching his wings is a no-go. Flitz was only allowed to touch them after he rescued Luke because Matt had messed them up.

8) When he's stressed, he preens his wings excessively. Flitz is still trying to coax him out of doing it.

9) He hates shellfish. Don't give him any.

10) He hates falling asleep in front of people, hates how vulnerable it makes him. Flitz is okay, and as long as Flitz is there, Rynn is too.

11) On more than one occasion Flitz has stepped on him getting out of bed. He has a habit of dragging his duvet into his room and sleeping on the floor.

12) He feels safe when Flitz is around, and will actively stay near him when they go out.
