The maid finally left Aaron alone to his own devices after being told off by the chef to let the boy eat in peace, so went about doing the tasks she was paid for. Aaron looked at his plate and began to eat quietly not humming or swinging his legs like he normally did. It did throw the chef off seeing him act as if his parents where around and figured it had something to do with Richard.

Seeing Aaron finished he smiled "Of you go have a warm bath." he said picking up the plates watching as Aaron moved out the kitchen. Aaron looked at Richard for a moment he was surprised to see that the other was still in the dinning hall "I'm going to have a bath." he said happily, normally their mother scrubbed him till he almost bled with water that was at room temperature so he felt like he was being spoiled being allowed a bath

Richard looked up and nodded, though would have said he was thinking about something similar but stopped himself. He knew Aaron wasn;t allowed the things he could have, so he didn;t want to rub it in. "Come visit when you're done?" He asked as he walked out of the room and up the stairs to his own room. "In an hour or so" he added, knowing he;d need time to get some time alone with his hand before Aaron would come into the room.

Aaron looked to the other and smiled nodding but after the other left he sat at the table biting his lip, he had no idea where he should be bathing so sat where he was, after a few minutes he got up and headed to Richard's room in the hopes to ask him where he should bathe. He closed his eyes as he walked up the stairs and shook his head "No Richard's nice he might even let me share if I ask..." he said before pouting "Okay you have a bet, if he says no you can take over my form for the day if he says yes I can have him stay in my room without any penance!" he was upset that he was being challenged on such a thing, soon he knocked on Richard's door waiting for a reply.

Richard had fully stripped off, rummaging through his drawers for something to wear afterwards when he heard a knock at his door. He figured it might be one of the maids so wrapped himself up in a towel before opening the door. "yes?" He asked, surprised to see Aaron there so early. He decided he might as well let him in, tugging him in by his arm before closing the door and dropping his towel. "I was just about to hop in the shower."

Aaron moved in without a struggle as he was tugged in by his arm "Hi Richard." he said in his normal simple way as he looked his brothers room it was like he had just walked into another world the way he looked at everything with innocent wonder "I've to go for a hot bath but I don't know where and what's a shower?" to most it would be hard to believe he was asking these questions but then he was kept childish and treated worse than dirt.

Richard chuckled a little at Aaron, but not for long. He thought of a plan. "Want to find out? It's not like a bath but is in a way. It doesn't hurt." He went into the bathroom to get everything ready. He'd treat Aaron to a luxury once in a while whenever he was allowed to visit or something. It's not like he would tell anyone and hoped Aaron wouldn't either since he doubted he'd want to be punished. "you coming or what?"

Aaron looked blinking with a blank look on his face as he tried to make sense of what had been told to him "It's like a bath, but it's not a bath and it won't hurt..." he sounded confused as he stood in the middle of the large room "Baths don't hurt unless mummy does them." he classed the harsh wash down he got daily as a bath at times he was scrubbed raw while being bombarded with mental abuse but he accepted everything believing it true.

"If it's okay with you." he said turning his head a goofy smile on his face. Hearing the other calling him he walked into the bathroom that was triple the size of his small cell. "Wow this place is HUGE!" he sounded genuinely astonished as he came to a halt next to Richard "No it isn't be quiet!" he scolded shaking his head.

Richard decided on a medium heat for the shower since Aaron wasn't used to hot water at all. He at least knew those facts and what his parents did to Aaron. "Hurry up and strip then." He said, getting into the front of the shower by the spray itself to prove it was genuinely safe. He would switch places eventually once Aaron would step into the shower so he could close the door.

Aaron walked forward studying the shower as if it was some sort of mystical contraption that worked through magic. When Richard asked him to undress he moved back taking off his trousers and boxers, folding them neatly before placing them to the side. As the top he was wearing had been ripped and ruined during the night he didn't have to worry about that. A fresh cut seen on his right arm and left leg. As he had never been told about decency he just stood their naked and not ashamed about it.

Aaron watched he was a little apprehensive as to how dangerous this contraption was but seeing Richard playing with the water he smiled and walked in without any problems though whimpered as he felt the hot water touching his skin and cuts as it stung but didn't try to leave in case it offended Richard who was being kind to him

"This is probably a bit warmer than what you're used to but is not what I am used to. I can handle it hotter than this, but see it isn't too bad." Richard pulled him under the tap, sliding behind him to close the sliding door. He knew once Aaron was under the tap all stinging and wariness would go away. He'd noticed the marks though would tend to them if needed after the shower. He still wasn't sure how he was going to get to enjoy himself now that he wasn't alone. He shoved the thought away for now, choosing to lather Aaron up as gently as possible, not wanting to be like their mother.

"I feel like I'm cooking under the heat of the water." he said honestly some older wounds showing from where he had been scrubbed so hard or beaten but he didn't seem to mind them to much. Feeling the the soapy lather on his back he whimpered a little thinking that he was going to be getting hurt but didn't struggle as much as he shook, he was scared but with everything that has happened to him it was easy to understand why.

Richard handed Aaron the washcloth as he finished with Aaron's backside. "Here. Do as I did." He grabbed another, lathering it up as he did the same to his front half as well. Hair was always last in his routine, though sometimes time with himself was saved for last as well. "Do as I do." He turned Aaron so he could watch and learn since he knew their mother usually did so.

Aaron took the wash cloth and looked at it for a second before looking to Richard he hit his bottom him as his backside was washed as it was sensitive to himAaron began to was Richard's back contently him how he had been shown but was so worried about being to rough it was almost like the cloth never touched him "Is this right? Am I hurting you?" he asked wanting to clarify if he was doing okay in his brothers mind. It was a learning experience and perhaps what he was learning now he could say to their mother he could wash himself so not to bother her his washing

"Yeah. Don;t forget your front too. I did mine." Richard chuckled before waiting for him to finish up so he could grab the shampoo. "Don't tell anyone. Especially mother. If you do, she will wonder how you learned this." He would have to talk to her himself, or say that he was old enough by now to do things or to have a maid do it. At least he hoped his mother would accept the latter, since he knew she hated even being around Aaron in the first place. It would inconvenience her less.

Aaron smiled and began to wash his front being careful around sensitive areas where his mother never was "Okay I'll stay quiet about it." he would unless asked by their parents he knew better than to not give information when they had asked for it, it always turned out bad for him. "Why do they hate me Richard? I-m a good boy or at least try to be." he said watching what the other was doing finding it fascinating.

Richard looked, to the best of his ability, at Aaron. "I dunno fully. But they're just scared I think." He said honestly. He was a little wary himself but not enough to stay away like they did or enough to mistreat him much. He went to the spray and rinsed his hair before coming back and shaking his hair before fixing it so he could see and do the same for Aaron after inspecting him.

Aaron looked down hearing that their parents might be scared of him, he wasn't aware when he stabbed his father he didn't even remember leaving his room that night after Maria had tucked him in, he did remember the beating he had gotten afterwards and why he ate with child safe plastic cutlery. "I-it's because I stabbed daddy isn't it." he said his eyes looking his sibling in the face "I-I don't remember leaving my room... I-I was asleep." he began to panic a little

"Are you scared of me?" his voice trembled a little at the thought of not being loved by his brother, though fell silent as he watched the other. He never followed what the other done he just put the shampoo on and washed the best he could but his hair was still filled with soap suds "You think mummy and daddy will be angry about this?" he asked not wanting to anger their parents because of him taking a shower especially in Richard's bathroom.

Richard nodded a little about their parents fears. "Yeah, maybe. But I'm not." He half lied. He wasn't afraid, just a little cautious. "Here, let's get it all out." He pushed Aaron under the water, stroking his hair soothingly as he got the rest of the shampoo out. "That's mainly why it's best not to tell them anything. They don't understand." He nuzzled into Aaron a little protectively, though not close enough to let his hormones take over.

Aaron looked at him with a weak smile he really hadn't known what had happened till he got that first back hander across his face. Their father had found that he would learn if the same happened to him so even now he has a scar on his shoulder where their father had him bound to a table and stabbed him as a constant reminder to himself and everyone in he house that such actions wouldn't be tolerated, after the incident every employee had to sign a non disclosure agreement or be fired which they did.

Even now every now and then the scar ached, no one was allowed to tend it so it hadn't healed properly. he use to get sick a lot because of it but he believed he had been a naughty child so deserved to be sick for weeks on end. Smiling he nodded as Richard helped him with his hair, he could do his body with some time but his hair was a little more problematic as he couldn't tell when all the suds where out "I don't talk around mummy or daddy, they don't like it. They say that to be good I should shut my mouth and do as I'm told." he never really spoke to anyone unless he was asked a question.

He smiled as he was nuzzled turning he cuddled the other close not thinking about anything sexual after all that was a little out of his comprehension and their parents had done it as they didn't believe it was something he would need to know, after all he didn't interact with people much and even if he did it would mean that he wouldn't want to leave the home for any reason other than what they allowed.

Richard finished up, shutting off the tap. "Come on then, it's done. We'll have to get someone to get you some clothes though. You won't fit in mine." He smiled, knowing he wasn't as thin as Aaron though shook the thought of what it'd look like if he did wear something of his. He really needed that alone time with himself and his impure thoughts. He knew he could go out and get some action anywhere, but knew he didn't trust just anyone. He also only had done so with Aaron that one time even though it was non-consensual. He still regretted that action on his part.

Aaron walked out of the shower when Richard said that it was done a smile on his face. "You're bigger than I am, of course I won't fit in your clothes silly." his smile getting bigger as he giggled. "It's okay, I can get my own cloths, it's wrong of me to bother people." his eyes gleamed a little as he remembered the bed he had with Eric. "Would you like to stay in my room tonight? We can cuddle and everything I won a bet with Eric so no penance will need to be paid or harm done." to him this was the best thing since sliced bread since he could have someone stay without any problems for once "I'll be like one of those sleepover things!" he said gently "Do you want to be alone?"

Richard smiled, finishing up on drying off before opening the bathroom door. "Yeah I guess so, though this time might I recommend you actually stay in the bed." He scolded Aaron a bit, knowing to be gentle with it but enough to make him realize some worries of him being under the bed. "You'd look delicious in my clothes, but you're right. Just grab a towel and we'll go then." He said, getting dressed and styling his hair to it's normal shape.

Aaron just stood drip drying like he normally did when he was washed, he was normally dragged to his cell and flung in being told to go to sleep and not make a nuisance of himself as if he was bold enough to do that. "I normally stay in my bed." which was true, it was old and had springs sticking out here and there even creaking when he turned at night but it was his and it showed him that his parents cared for him in their own way.

Though looked down as he was scolded believing himself a bad boy again "I will make a note of being bad on my chart." he said he was taught he had to fess up in he was told off by staff or even Richard which he classed this as. "Wouldn't matter if they did fit, they're yours I'm not allowed nice things like that..." he smiled sweetly "like daddy said I'm a pathetic wretch and I'd just ruin it." he didn't think anything wrong with what he said and knew the clothing that his nanna would just be taken from him so hadn't even bothered putting any of them on.

As his brother got ready he just moved into Richard's bedroom without a towel and sat on his bed bouncing a little wondering why his own bed wasn't so springy eventually he lay down it felt like he was on a bed of clouds so yawned a little "Richard this feels comfortable..." he giggled taking one of the light blankets from the bottom of the bed covering himself a little, he didn't realise that it may actually tease Richard.

(all of the perverted thoughts! Richard: *nosebleed*)
Richard shook his head, wishing there was something more he could do for Aaron with their parents. Though knew that would only ever happen if they could somehow leave the house. They were old enough but had no experience for working or anything, though they could get that help secretly. Or at least Richard could without having to spill to their parents.

"You do look good in my bed." Richard smiled as he walked over, climbing up and laying behind Aaron. He cuddled up and knew if he had any perverted thoughts, he'd possibly scare Aaron unintentionally though wasn't completely sure of that. He would just try his best not to get aroused.

((well I'm constantly on yim))

Aaron just remained where he was smiling happy that his brother though that he looked good in his bed, but then he thought that his brother was just being nice. he shuffled to be closer to the other as he was hugged so that he could be closer to Richard enjoying the quiet time they seemed to be having, it wouldn't have mattered what happened he knew he was there for his brothers pleasure not matter what that meant

Richard nuzzled in close as he could get, wrapping his arms around Aaron's waist. "You look good in practically nothing too." He smiled, letting his hand slide across Aaron's cheek. He got lost in thought as he just let his mind control his movements, pulling Aaron to look at him before claiming his lips in a gentle chaste kiss. He didn't want to scare him or make him want out of the room.

Aaron looked smiling happily as he was nuzzled he was enjoying every ounce of the attention he was getting more so as he was hugged close "Do I?" he asked turning to look at the other his legs intertwining as he hugged the closely his eyes widening for a second but kissed back he wasn't scared he was use to the whole touchy feely idea but soon pulled away from him "Why do you kiss me?" he asked it was something he had been curious about for a few years now but never asked.

(>D I know ya like richard...no need to steal him lol)
Richard looked at Aaron smug after the pleasant kiss. He was a little wary about answering the question though. "uh...well it is....that...I love you. That's why. I don't even want to see you hurt ever." He said honestly. Though he also vaguely remembered raping Aaron that one time recently. Though for that ordeal he had slipped in and out of consciousness so was unaware he was doing something like that. The constant blacking out like that had gone on since Aaron was thought of as a bad seed and disowned. "That's why."

Aaron smiled contently as his brother spoke, he could see the smug look and it got him worried a little like something bad could be coming but he didn't show it, he shook his head "You can't love me... mummy and daddy won't allow it... you can do better than me." the other sounded panicked almost as if this was a set up to get him. His eyes closed hearing the last part "I'm an object it's okay if I'm hurt so longs your not." he said softly his tone showing this is how he actually thought but then again it had been drilled into him for over ten years

Richard shook his head. "They can't stop me. I'm not a robot for them to abuse." He bit his lip, causing it to bleed as he blacked out. He snapped out of the blackout a moment later, though with a possessive aura around him as he looked at Aaron like he was a meal to be devoured. "Hey. Do you want to go to the playroom?" He purred out, not holding the kind and gentle demeanour that was there moments before.

Aaron looked down, he knew what the heart wanted it wanted but still this was a little out of his league as he knew he shouldn't argue "Richard your bleeding..." he said his hand going to wipe the blood away when he noticed the difference in posture and how he looked at him backing a way from his shaking his head "Not really, I need to go get dressed." he smiled jumping off the bed taking the blanket he was wrapped in to his room and closed the door.

Richard kicked around his room when Aaron left. He had been so close to getting some attention. Eventually he calmed and lounged on his bed where he blacked out again. This time when he woke it was just him. He looked around and wondered why Aaron wasn't still in the room. He walked out going to Aaron's room as he knocked on the door.

On the way to his room he heard how the other acted it scared him and he wished he had just done what he asked at least that way he wouldn't have to worry about any punishments that he would need to get later. "I-I'm sorry Richard..." he whispered hearing his door being knocked his heart stopped his eyes going wide as if he was in true terror "I'm not here..." he said gently scuttling under his bed

Richard knew the door was usually kept open unless people were over visiting or unless Aaron was inside. He knew he was there so he just went in as well. He was glad be brought a door-stop so the door wouldn't close. "Why did you leave? I don't remember you leaving. Did something happen?" He asked a bit confused though knew he was either under his bed or someone forgot to keep the door open.

Aaron remained under his bed curling tightly as the door opened tears falling as he thought he was in major trouble for running with Richard's blanket "You asked me to go to a toy room, but your body posture changed so I got scared and ran" he said gently whimpering a little wondering if the other was going to be angry

"Oh? I don't remember anything." Richard peered down, gesturing for him to come out from under the bed. "I think I blacked out or something." He said honestly as he sat on the bed, careful to avoid a spring. "There is a playrooom. I'm aware of that but I don't remember much." He figured it was like it was when they were younger, though he didn't have too many memories of that since it was so long ago.

Slowly Aaron nodded moving out from under his bed as he seen the other was acting in his usual manner so didn't feel threatened. "I don't know if you did or not..." he said honestly sitting on the floor covered with Richard's blanket to hide himself "Should we go see it?" he asked tilting his head just slightly, he didn't even remember if they did have a nursery but he was interested to find out what it looked like.

"Yeah, I think it's away from the rest of the house. Get dressed first though." Richard teased. He looked around the room while he waited for Aaron to get dressed. He wondered if there was anything he could take from there that smelled like Aaron. Though he thought against that again as he was in control of his mind. So he thought.

Aaron smiled as Richard agreed to goe look at their old nursery, he knew it wasn't uncommon for some people like their own family to have a nursery in a separate part of the house or have a small room just outside the house where children could be disturb or disturb the rest of the household. Standing he went to his wardrobe bringing out a loose plain white long sleeved t-shirt and loose black trousers both showing years of wear "Ready!" he exclaimed walking to where he believed the nursery was wondering what was inside

Richard smiled as he let Aaron lead the way, watching as his inner-child came out as he explored the old dusty part of the home. "It should be around here somewhere." He noticed a few rooms that jogged his memory. "To the left." He knew it was there, though did not know what would be inside. Once they got inside, he blacked out again, this time falling on Aaron as he toppled over.

Soon enough Richard wasn't in control of himself again, knowing the room locked similar to Aaron's room once the door was closed. Though it had a verbal password to unlock from the inside as well. Though the password would expire after it's first use and would have to be reset. He closed the door after getting up, making sure it locked before looking at Aaron. "How do you like it? Looks fun doesn't it?" He smirked.
