Colby nods. "Alright." He smiled a little bit before his eyes turned soft. "Are you okay? Do you need anything? Water?" He asks gently, his eyes soft as he stood and walked to the door. He would offer the other his spar computer. It hadn't been used, and he was planning on returning it.
"I, food might be nice," King responded since his stomach felt empty and wasn't churning like before. He would still be careful since he knew very well what could happen if he didn't watch out, "Something light. Do you think I'm okay?"
He nods. "I think you can handle something light. Does grilled cheese and tomato soup sound good?" He asks gently, his eyes soft as he stood by the door. "Anything else?" He asks gently. There was a kind smile on his lips.
"Sounds amazing," King was on an empty stomach. Anything would have sounded amazing. He shook his head and finally undid the pony his hair had been in almost all night. His body felt icky dirty and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was covered in blood, "No, um, except. Where could I shower or something of that sort?"
He glances up before nodding. "Second door down. It has a shower and seperate bath." He chuckles softly before exiting the room. He walks down to the kitchen, getting the food ready. He hummed softly to himself, his eyes shutting as he worked.
King let out a sigh and took a deep breath once Void had left. He moved and put his feet on the ground. Releasing his breath he stood up and was able to stay standing which he had been a little worried about. He walked over to the phone and dialed up the number that was the cafe. He took a deep breath when the other side picked up, "Hey… It's King. I won't be able to take my shifts for… A while."
"What why?" his bosses voice came through crystal clear. Heh crystal. She didn't sound mad just concerned.
"Family emergency," King said running a hand through his hair and rested it on his neck, "I'm out of town at the moment."
"Oh dang… Mom again?"
King let out a breath, "Yeah."
"Okay. I won't schedule or worry you until you give me the okay."
"Thanks V," King had a sad smile on. He really wished that his boss would question more, but she wasn't going to. Vida had been a college friend and really close to King when his mother had gone through her first round of cancer. King had continued in law, Vida had opened a coffee shop.
"No problem!" Vida said with a laugh, "I'll check in on you soon okay?"
"Yeah," King said before taking back his words slightly, "I left my phone and laptop in my apartment when rushing over. I'm using a… friend's at the moment. So don't expect to me respond through that."
"Got it," Vida responded, "I'll wait for you then."
"Thanks again. Bye," King hung up not feeling like talking to her for much longer. The more he did talk her the closer he was getting to telling her his actual issue. That wouldn't have been smart so he just hung up. He fell back onto the bed fighting off the guilt crawling it's way back up.
He hummed quietly, singing to himself. He finished making the food and placed it onto a tray. He fills a glass of water and smiled a little bit as he carried the food. He knocked quietly, the food hovering beside him. He opened the door and smiled a little bit. "Here's you're food." He smiled. "Here you are."
King looked over to where Void entered. He sat up on the bed and turned so he was facing him. His voice had a little forced tease in it, "Here I am. And you have food."
"Indeed I do." He laughs quietly. He sets the food down, his eyes gentle as he gazes at the other. "I'll bring the laptop in just a moment." He smiled warmly.
King gave him a smile, one of those little half-smirk smiles. He was truly grateful for everything Void was doing for him. He moved over so he was closer to the food, "Okay, thank you."
He nods and smiles a little before exiting the room, off to find the computer. He hummed quietly as he did so, managing to find it. He enters again. "Alright. I found the computer but it needs to charge." He plugs it in.
"That's fine," King responded having started to eat small bites. The more he seemed to eat the harder his stomach fought but at the same time demanded. It was confusing to say the least, "I don't have any clas… Forget I said that."
He didn't want to reveal too much of his personal life. His face was enough for now.
Colby nods and smiles a little bit. "It's no problem." He sighed softly. "Relax. I'm not going to do anything to you. Just call if you need anything." He mutters softly before leaving the room again and heading back to the kitchen and grabbing something to eat. He was so hungry.
King felt a little bad, but that his one policy. Don't get your hero life and civilian life intermixed. He continued to eat feeling his stomach start to churn with ever bite and somehow his dumbass brain started to think the tomato soup was a bowl of blood which made him more queasy. He stopped eating and put the food as far away from him as physically possible. He sat back down on the bed and ran a hand through his hair. Just relax. You're safe. Everything's fine.
Colby heard a door open and he looked up in surprise. "Pax, you're out of bed…?" he murmurs softly as his little brother walks towards him slowly. He coughs weakly and Colby gently hugs him. "You should be resting…" He mutters as he glances down at his younger brother. Pax is a spiting image of Colby, from the rusty brown hair to the color of his eyes. "Couldn't sleep… and I don't want to stay in bed all day… I hate it…" Pax replies hoarsely as he leans into his brother.
King heard movement outside of his little area. At first he figured it was just Void, but a second set of feet made him think otherwise. Of course there were other people living here. He figured best to let them have their privacy and went to the laptop to email his professors about his… situation.
Colby nods and sighs softly. "Alright. You can stay down here for a little while. As long as you promise to take it easy." He whispered. Pax nods and walls to the couch, settling into a nest of blankets and turning on the TV. Colby sighed and returned to his computer, tapping at the keys quickly.
King sent his last email and ran a hand through his hair. He found it disgustingly greasy. Before he took care of that he had to go through and delete the history of at the very least what he had done on the computer. Once that was done he shut the lid and got up off the bed. Void had said second door down. That was where he would be heading then. He left the room and looked around the hall taking everything in to appreciate it but to also see if there were any easy ways out.
It was quiet, lonely, and dark hallway. Filled with rooms that were empty and alone. Colby had lived in this huge manor alone, the only company being his brother. Colby didn't have people to depend on. He never did. He walks through the hallways quietly, humming to himself as he does so.
King stepped into the room and found the shower. He locked the door behind him before taking a shower. He scrubbed harshly at his body until it was a light red, before he finally stepped out and changed back into the clothes Void had originally provided. He quickly towel dried his hair before stepping out again his hair left as is. He wanted to explore, but figured it would be rude to do so if he didn't tell Void first.
Colby walked to his room and opened the door slowly. He sighed as he walked to his bed, falling onto it. He looks at the ceiling and rubbed his hands over his eyes. He was exhausted. He wasn't sure from mental drain or physical, but his body felt.like lead and his mind like mush.
King… Couldn't remember which way his room was. He looked back and forth and figured he could try each door. One was bound to work. It was two doors down on one side. He turned right and walked over to open the second door over.
Colby heard his door open and he looked up weakly from his bed. "Pax?" He asks curiously before noticing King. "Oh… Hello Crystalline. May I help you with something?" He asks, slowly sitting up from his bed.
"I forgot which way my room was," King admitted quietly. He silently observed Void and the room overall before asking, "Who is Pax? And, uh, are you doing okay?"
"I'm alright. Tired." He chuckles quietly, running a hand through his hair. "It's alright. And Pax is my little brother. He's downstairs. Would you like to meet him?" He asks curiously, a little smile on his lips as he walks towards the other and into the hallway.
