--------------&⇒“Daa~ Everything here is so nice~” Nikolai sighed contently as he exited the bathroom after a nice hot bath.
“Isn’t it Mihail?” He looked over and saw that Mihail had fallen asleep on his bed. With a soft smile, Nikolai shuffled closer to the older male before placing a soft kiss on his forehead and dressing himself in a regular black button up shirt and gray slacks.
The young demi-God slipped out of the dorms and began to roam around the halls in hopes of finding something exciting and new. He found his way back out to the courtyard and smiled at all of the flowers. Vermillion-brown eyes widened slightly when he noticed others were outside. With a small gulp he carefully shuffled over towards a small bed of flowers that had been disrupted by the previous commotion.
Nikolai could already see the uprooted flowers beginning to slowly wither away. He gently caressed one of the dying flower sighed a sigh of sadness. He picked the flower and brought it closer to his face. With a small breath, the withering flower livened back up, making the young boy smile softly.
“Much better…”
Mihail was in a panic. Where was he? Where had Nikolai run off to. He normally told him before he went anywhere…
“Damn it… Why did I fall asleep?” Mihail stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes. He felt himself calm down before reopening his eyes again. Nikolai was outside? Mihail huffed in determination as he sprinted out of the dorms and outside to see his brother healing another flower, only this time without picking it out of the bunch.
“Nikolai!” Mihail called out to his brother, who turned and smiled warmly at the elder’s presence.
“Mihail, look! I can fix them, da?” He looked back at his brother as if to ask for permission, but only received a sigh in response.
“Brother?” Nikolai was slightly confused but that confusion faded when his brother dropped to his knees and pulled Nikolai into his arms in a tight embrace.
“Don’t do that.” With that Nikolai smiled sadly.
“I’m sorry…” He muttered quietly into his brother’s embrace. The younger squirmed a bit and tried to glance around to make sure that they hadn’t drawn any unwanted attention towards themselves, but Nikolai was most certain that the headmistress was still busy with the one who was fighting. There was a light blush on his face as he tried to push Mihail away.
“Brother… you’re embarrassing me.” He complained playfully before he looked at Mihail’s sad smile and let the older continue to embrace him tightly. It was the least he could do.
