"Well, it was very brave and nice of you to protect Mikhail." George mumbled.

"I would've done it anyway…." said Arthur quietly. "I just wish….." He took a deep breath trying to keep from breaking down again.

"I know, I know." George mumbled comfortingly. Mikhail quietly made his way downstairs and quickly stopped when he saw George comforting Arthur, he looked around awkwardly before quietly starting to head back up, not sure what to do.

Arthur saw Mikhail and pulled away from George just a little, before getting up to follow Mikhail.

George had a small smile on his face as he watched Arthur leave to follow Mikhail. Mikhail had already made it up to to his room, and thought he should maybe see if he had any serious cuts on his back. He took off his shirt and went into the bathroom so he could see his back better, sighing in relief when he didn't see any serious cuts.

Arthur poked his head up into the hall, tensing when he saw the many scars on the other's back, along with the fresh cuts. "Mikhail?" his voice was soft and tentative…

Mikhail quickly turned around when he heard his name, his face turning red as he quickly put his shirt on. "Y-Yea?"

"you ok?" asked Arthur quietly, seeming to shrink a little.

"Yep, why did you ask?" Mikhail asked, fiddling with his fingers which usually meant he was lying or just very nervous, it didn't seem to be the latter though.

"Just… everything…" said Arthur, leaning back against the wall.

"What do you mean?" Mikhail asked looking a bit confused.

"You getting kidnapped…. me… actually using my powers…" Arthur's voice faded as he said it.

Mikhail also leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. "Yea, I understand. It was pretty scary for me the first time too."

Arthur sighed, "You have no idea…. " said Arthur, "I don't use my magic…. ever. I'd much rather it be gone….. it's brought me too much pain…"

"Don't we all? It's just so scary sometimes to have so much power…" Mikhail replied, staring at the ground.

"Mikhail…." Arthur looked up at him, eyes shadowed again, "I know how to use my magic. All of it. I'm not scared of losing control if that's what you're thinking…." He sighed. "I was originally a fire element…. not that I could ever prove that… I came across the chaos aura by chance… I thought things had gone bad then… but they only got worse from there…."

"What chaos aura?" Mikhail asked, also looking up at Arthur and looking a bit confused.

"That's what I was using earlier…." said Arthur, "And I hate it…"

"Oh…It's okay." Mikhail mumbled, trying his best to comfort Arthur.

Arthur sighed, he hated hearing screams in the back of his head, he hated hearing that laugh. He knew full well he was lucky to be sane.

Mikhail quietly walked over to Arthur and hugged him tightly, resting his head on the others shoulder. "Just forget about it for now."

Arthur nodded, pressing into Mikhail, grateful for that calming effect as his fingers gripped the back of the other's shirt.

Mikhail pecked his lips before resting his head on his shoulder again, sighing happily. "Do you want to go anywhere for no reason?"

"Sure….. why not.." said Arthur, feeling a little better. "It'll at least be a distraction….."

"Okay then, where do you want to go?" Mikhail asked, smiling a bit now that Arthur felt better.
