He sighed as he leaned into the other. He smiled at the other before he was out like a lightbulb. He fell asleep, comforted by the warmth King gave off.

King glanced down at Colby to see that he had finally fallen asleep. He let out a slight breath and ran his free hand through his own hair wondering what he was going to do now. He was clearly growing an emotional attachment to the man he had to fight on a regular basis, and King was content with that. He was wondering what effect it would have on his future emotional state if he let the bond keep growing. He let out a long sigh and glanced down at Colby once more. Yeah, he was going to let this go where it went.

Time skip?

(Okie dokie)

Pax had barely, barely recovered. He was alive. But he was weaker then ever. People had no idea why Colby, or rather Void hadn't sprung into action, destroying things, or doing anything at all. It was because he was Colby, constantly caring for his little brother.

King had eventually gone back to his apartment to try and go back to normality. It lasted less than a night before the guilt weighed him down turning him into a mess. Around midnight he had gone back at Colby's. At least this time he had his own phone and computer to work off of and keep up in his classes along with his own clothes. Though he hadn't touched his hero costume since that day.

He justified, at least to himself, him staying was so that he could help Colby with the now weaker than ever Pax. At the very least he was an extra set of hands to help out.

Colby was grateful for King's help. He wasn't sure why King wanted to stay there with him, since they were enemies of course. But it made him happy. He was glad to have someone help him take care of Pax.

He groaned quietly as he sat on the couch. Today had been one of Pax's bad days, and he had been up for the last 48 hours. He curled up on the couch, fatigued and hungry.

King had just woken up from a nap in his "room" and put his hair into a low pony to just keep it out of his way. He walked to the living area and saw Colby on the couch. He headed over and gave him a slight smile, "Hey, need to take a nap?"

Colby looks up at the other weakly, giving a small, broken smile. "A nap sounds lovely… But I need to stay awake so I can take care of Pax." He says softly, slowly sitting up and running a hand through his hair. "I need a shower… and a nap." He mumbles to himself, rubbing at his eyes. "And maybe some coffee…"

"I can take care of Pax," King told him sitting down nearby. He kept to himself and looked concerningly at Colby, "And you can go take care of yourself."

Colby looks up at the other before nodding. "Thank you, King… I'll be back in a moment." He stood and headed to the bathroom.

King gave him a slight nod, "Okay." He watched as Colby left and let out a sigh. He should probably go check on Pax and he stood up to go and check on the younger male.

Colby hurried to his bathroom, showering and taking care of his hygiene. He sighed as he exits, starting on food.

Pax was sleeping uneasily in his bed, his eyes clenched shut tight as he mumbled soft words to himself. He shifts a little in his sleep.

King spotted Pax asleep and at first was just content standing in the door way and watching. However as he watched he saw how restless Pax’s sleep was and quietly stepped into the room towards the bed. He glanced around before softly singing an old lullaby his mother used to sing to him when he… wasn’t in the best state of mind. His voice didn’t and never would sing in the same soft and silky way hers did, but he tried for Pax’s sake hoping it would calm the boy down in his sleep.

Pax whimpered and moaned softly before beginning to ease as King began to sing. His breathing slowed and his thrashing about lessened. He seemed to finally gain some peace as the pain left his face. A small sigh of relief left his cracked and dried lips as he settled into the sheets.

Colby looked up from getting dressed when he heard someone sing. His brow raised in curiosity before he walked towards Pax's room, smiling faintly at the sighed of Pax calming down to King's sweet voice. "You're a blessing." He mutters softly when the other had finished. "He rarely calms down that quickly."

King finished and his head whipped around slightly to look at Colby. He hadn't heard the other man enter. He stepped away from the bed keeping an eye on Pax. His voice was soft as he responded, "Yeah, well. I've had a lot of experience calming others down."

Colby walked to King's side before gently hugging him. "Thank you…" He whispers. "For everything." He hadn't felt like this in ages, years even. It had been so lonely and hard, trying to help his brother all by himself.

King hadn't been expecting a hug but hugged him back carefully. He had a little smile on, "Your welcome. I'm glad to help out."

"If you two are going to frickle frackle get out of my room before you do it." Pax's hoarse voice mutters behind them. Colby jumped, his eyes wide as he looked down at his little brother. "Really. That's the first thing you say? Nerd." he mutters, sitting beside his brother and stifling a laugh.

King felt his face flush, but let out a laugh at the comment anyway. He stayed close and quiet, but a safe distance away from the two brothers letting them have their moment.

Pax looked over at King before smiling a little. "No, no. You too. You're family now." he says quietly. Colby's eyes sadden. As a villain, he wasn't sure about that. But as Colby? God, yes he wanted to have King around.
