Welcome to Gaia! ::

Umi hadn’t heard from Gab the entire time he was cooking. So when his meal was done, plated and presented, he went upstairs to get him. “Hey Gab! Food’s ready.” He said, opening the male’s door without knocking. That’s when he saw him in a dark room, hiding under his covers like a kid. “Gab are you alright?” He asked, walking over to his bed to pull the covers back, seeing him holding a stuffed rabbit. So cute.

Umi frowned at his new brother’s appearance. He watched as the sound of the thunder made him curl up, cringe, and hide under the blanket. All the while, talking so normally. He sighed a little bit, having the blanket pulled from his hand to hide Gab from the thunder. Should he leave? Probably not. He was like a little kid. And he was terrified. Lightning could be a scary thing. So Umi held nothing against him. He sat on the bed and pulled Gab covers back again, his time yanking his arm so the male moved from his little ball, to Umi’s strong Protective arms. “Hiding here won’t protect you or make it go away.” He said, pressing his hand to Gab ear, muffling the sound, and pressed him against his beating heart, so that it drowned out the noise around them.

Umi held him tightly at first, so he wouldn’t run without trying it. And like he thought it would, Gab started to relax and loosen his muscles the longer he was ther. Umi let his one hand go to run it through Gab’s hair as the other continued to block the sound out. His heart beated with a strong rhythm. His broad chest held Gab perfectly, and his arms were long enough to wrap Gab across his chest to each shoulder. He held Gab there for a few minutes, closing his eyes as he rested his lips against his head, not in a kiss, but a soothing manner.

Umi wasn’t going to let Gab go to sleep before eating the dinner he made. The rain pattered on the window the thunder moving further away and lighter. He slowly moved his hand, letting Umi hear more and more of the world around him. He pulled the boy’s head up so he could look down at him and smile, a real light smile. “Come eat with me.” He said, running his hands through the boy’s hair. He tilted his own head, figuring that Gab should probably sleep with him tonight. So he could sleep and not be tired at school. He sat up and pulled Gab with him. “I’m keep you save, promise.” He said, knowing Gab was afraid about leaving the safety of his bed.

Umi just smiled, taking the boy’s hand. He heard his shaky voice and didn’t believe him. “sure you are.” He said, holding his hand tight as he slowly pulled the male out of his room. Why was he being like this? Why was he being so nice? He didn’t understand. This wasn’t like him. One for one. That was his motto. And yet he was going out of his way for Gab. He looked back at him when he thanked him. And a small smile came to him. “No need to thank me.” He said, pulling him to the kitchen.

Umi pulled him to the kitchen, and to the table where the food was presented. “Let me heat it up a bit.” He said, realizing that the food had gone cold since he had spent some time with Gab in the bedroom. He put on in the microwave and let it heat up. He stared at the machine as he thought. This wasn’t good. Gab was showing him weakness. And they were so cute. He was getting bad thoughts. Dirty thoughts. The beeper pulled him back and he put the other plate of food in once he took out Gab’s plate. He hit the timer and moved to place Gab plate back down. “Eat up.”

Oh god! Why was life so cruel? He looked at the emotion on his little brother’s face. Gab wasn’t his lifeless self. And he was so cute like this. He turned back to the microwave, hand covering his lips. Maybe he couldn’t sleep with Gab tonight. Not with his mental state. He looked at Gabriel when he spoke about his food. “Thank you.” He said, getting his plated from the microwave and joining Gab. He started to eat, using the food as a distraction.
