He winced slightly. "I-I…I don't know."

"I hope you're not late for work…"
@ElderGod-Icefire
He nodded a little bit.
@Fraust
"You might want to go just in case."
@ElderGod-Icefire
He nodded again, slipping out of the bed and heading to the door.
@Fraust
"Bye." Lloyd waved to Ellis and lay back down with a sigh.
@ElderGod-Icefire
Ellis waved back, slipping out the door.
@Fraust
Lloyd stared up at the ceiling, his thoughts swirling. His face slowly started flushing as his thoughts turned back to Ellis.
@ElderGod-Icefire
Ellis got to work, hoping he wasn't in trouble.
@Fraust
Lloyd shook his head, trying to clear his mind. I have to talk to my father as soon as possible…
@ElderGod-Icefire
(Soooooo. I have a plan where Anton gets really angry or something and ends up beating and maybe r*ping Ellis and then either Lloyd or Nathaniel finds Ellis and he's crying and bruised and stuff and then we get some good angst. Would you be alright with that?)
@Fraust
(Yeah, that's fine with me)
@ElderGod-Icefire
(alright. Both or just the beating, bc I don't wanna do anything you aren't comfortable with?)
@Fraust
(I don't have any triggers, so that's all okay with me ^^)
@ElderGod-Icefire
(alright, just wanted to make sure. Do you want me to handle the timeskip?)
@Fraust
(Sounds good to me :>)
@ElderGod-Icefire
(alright!)
A few days later…
Ellis was curled in an empty hallway, his knees to his chest and his back to the wall, his face hidden in his arms as he cried. He tried to keep his noise down, not wanting Anton to find him. Not wanting anyone to see him.
@Fraust
Lloyd was allowed to use crutches to get around now and was roaming the halls. He heard crying and froze, immediately thinking of Nathaniel, but… this sounded like someone else. He headed towards the noise, growing increasingly worried. "Hello? Who's there?"
@ElderGod-Icefire
Ellis froze when he heard Lloyd. He didn't want the prince to see him. Didn't want Lloyd to see the bruises on his face, on his arms. His clothes hid the ones on his body, but he still didn't want Lloyd to see.
@Fraust
Lloyd turned the corner and noticed Ellis. "El? What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, making his way towards Ellis.
@ElderGod-Icefire
Ellis kept his face hidden. He swallowed, not knowing how to respond to Lloyd.
@Fraust
Lloyd carefully lowered himself onto the ground to sit beside Ellis and looked at his face, clearly very concerned. "What happened, El? Are you alright?"
@ElderGod-Icefire
Ellis took a deep breath, wiping at his face. "I-I…" he shook his head a little bit, curling tighter in on himself.
@Fraust
Lloyd gently reached out and took Ellis's chin to turn the other to face him. "Who did this to you? Was it Anton?"
@ElderGod-Icefire
There was bruising on his cheek and on his neck, and one of his eyes was black as well. He nodded a little bit, still crying silently.
