"I don't know how long, though I do know the cuts have been going on for a few years now," he said quietly.

“Do you get the scars too or do they fade?” Marco gently turned over Lucas’s arm and saw the fresh blood droplets seeping through the bandage.

"I get them too… that's how I knew." he said softly.

“How deep does he go? Has he ever tried to… you know… kill himself?” Marco asked quietly, not sure if he’d like the answer. (The answer is yes oof)

"He's gone pretty deep… and yeah. he has tried.." he said sadly.

“I just want to give him a hug but I think he’d freak out.”

Skye nodded, "I wouldn't blame him…"

"If… if he did kill himself, would you die too?"

"I…" Skye trailed off. "I-I don't know…."

"Well, let's just hope it doesn't come to that." Lucas buried his face into Skye's shoulder in his sleep, trembling ever so slightly. "Did he have anyone to help him deal with this? Other than you, of course."

Skye held him carefully, "Not as far as I know." he said quietly, "And we only just met.."

"How old is he? He's definitely younger than us by a year or two."

"About 18.." said Skye, still distracted by cuddling his soulmate.

"Hmm… I assume he'll be living with you now? No way we're letting him go back home."

"Well I can't keep him here if he really want's togo, but I'll give him the option.."

"Something makes me think he didn't exactly like it at his house. If he did, he might just be insane."

Skye nodded quietly, sighing.

After a minute or two, Lucas slowly opened his eyes to see Skye and Marco watching him. His eyes widened and he sat up, moving back a bit nervously. "W-What happened? Did I do something wrong? I-I'm sorry…" "Hey, relax kid. You haven't done anything."

Skye pulled the other back into his arms, "It's okay… you just dozed off…" he said.

"Oh… s-sorry…" "What are you sorry for now?" "I-I don't know! I'm just… I am." Lucas stared at the floor again. "I… I wasn't asleep too long, right?"

Skye frowned, hugging him, "If you need sleep, then sleep, it's okay…" he murmured.

"It's not safe to sleep… I-I'm too vulnerable…" Lucas shuddered ever so slightly. "How long has it been since you slept, Lucas?" "Uh… I dunno… m-maybe three days? Maybe more?" "Shit, you definitely need to sleep. No one's gonna hurt you here. It's safe."

Skye studied him worriedly, pulling him close, "Please just sleep, you need it…"

Lucas hesitantly lay his head back on Skye, trying to close his eyes. After several minutes, his exhaustion finally took over again. "Yeah, I'm not letting this kid go back… well, I was gonna say home, but it ain't much of a home, is it?"

Skye nodded, "He's staying here…. either that or we play assassin on the bastard that did this.."
