My original request for RustyMotor was gonna be number 8 if you wanna try that.
The silence in the apartment was usually a sanctuary, but tonight it was oddly suffocating. He had only been back for an hour, the engine of the stolen bike still ticking as it cooled out on the street, when the air turned sour.
"Thought ya left, again."
His Rusty-James’s voice was thin, reedy. His younger brother was standing by the window, a hand drifting from his hair to rub frantic, soothing circles into the crook of his elbow. His Rusty was shifting his weight, his lips parted in a jagged, uneven rhythm as he tried to mask the puffiness around his eyes. Like he thought he was playing it cool, like he thought he was hiding.
He takes a step forward, the floorboards groaning, His intent to offer some dry, dismissive comfort dying the second His gaze locked onto the inner arm of His brother.
The red haze didn't build; it slammed into Him. There, against the pale, bruised skin, was a pinprick- a dark, blossoming mark that told a story He had seen too many times not to know by heart.
"Motor, you, ya ain't actually gon' hurt me, right?"
