Their mother cupped Richard's face in a loved way thumbing his cheek with love "I knew you where not to blame, but I had to ask" she say kissing his forehead knowing Richard was grown up enough to understand he was never truly being accused of anything, it was more a formality than anything else. Her eyes moved back noticing her husband was gone, but she heard him yelling and Aaron cry out several times till both fell silent.

Seeing her husband move downstairs and towards the door she sighed "I'm sorry, but we have a breakfast with some friends that came up unexpectedly this morning, we will make it up to you when we return" she say kissing his head one last time "As he wronged you, and stole from you you are entitled to punish him so he will learn his lesson" she say handing him Aaron's room key "I will give him my share of his punishment later" with that she moved down the stairs and out of the house

Aaron would now be sat on his bed, the maid Lucy placing an ice pack on his now swollen and bruised cheek, she knew he wouldn't nurse it and knew she shouldn't be "They treat you to rough, your fragile little brother" she say to him with a sigh, she knew it wasn't his fault, he tried so hard hard to keep up but always came in last place. The staff had grew fond of their young lord and pitied what he had to go through onto a day to day basis so over the years came to see him as members of their family and treated him as such. His crystal blue eyes went to her "I deserved it... I lied, I ripped my clothing in vengeance to Richard, I stole" he said in a pain filled voice after what his father just put him through he believed every word.

Lucy shook her head "You know as well as I do, you are a horrid liar, you are a better person because you don't lie. You could never steal, it's not in your character and as for ripping your cloths to get back at that spoiled..." she stopped herself and growled "you wouldn't waste your time, you cherish what little you have because you have it, you are a far better person than Richard" she sighed bringing him close to cradle him "Just have faith in yourself" she whisper

Richard smiled when he got the key in his hand. He would check in later. He knew one of those stupid maids was probably filling his head with junk. If it was up to him they would mostly be replaced by now. Even though they did a good job of keeping the house intact. He still hated what they thought of him, slapping a few around before when he'd caught them bad-mouthing him. Of course that sent them to his father and he set them straight, making them apologise for their wrong judgement. He stayed in his room for now until chef beeped in on the intercom stating that breakfast was ready. He went down and ate his there, bringing Aaron's up after. The rest was left for the staff to fight over.

Aaron looked up to Lucy, from her embrace with sad eyes "I need to get out of here..." he whisper to her "I tried earlier but Ry caught me and locked me in, then father yelled at me because of that and the other things I had apparently done" he shook a little, his eyes darting to the door "Ry.... ry done something very bad yesterday" he shook a little more.

Lucy held him close stroking his head making soothing sounds to try and put him at ease, it didn't matter what the thing was to her Richard was always doing something very bad, she wish she could voice it to him but she knew better than to speak her thoughts out loud, it wasn't the first time someone had been dismissed from service for saying something against the golden child.

"I'm a caged bird, they've clipped my wings" he say looking down at his bare feet for a moment before closing his eyes, his hand going to his stomach as he heard it growl a light blush coming to his cheeks, Lucy giggled and helped him to his feet "You weren't at lunch or dinner last night I'm not surprised your hungry" she say leading him out of his room and down the stairs "Chess kept some things for you to eat though and you still have the deserts... they where super yummy" she say taking him to the dinning hall but stopped talking the moment she seen Richard, still she held onto Aaron like an over protective elder sister the ice filled cloth at Aaron's cheek "Come along Aaron... lets see what chess has for breakfast" she turned away from Richard and moved towards the kitchen, Aaron didn't argue and moved with her

Richard noticed them, scoffing as he placed the breakfast he'd brought onto Aaron's bed before leaving a note along with it. The note read 'I'll be back later. Mom gave me punishment permissions and she will be back to do the same later on. If you try and think of even running away again I will have to stop you -Ry.' He left out anything that he could be blackmailed with.

Aaron when with Lucy and had breakfast with the staff happily forgetting everything else. He took only a little but as soon as his plate as empty Chess placed more on it saying he looked like a half starved scarecrow. Smiling Aaron ate the seconds and helped clean and put everything away before heading to his room.

Seeing the plate he walked over to it to take it downstairs as he was full, he never really did eat much. Noticing the letter he gulped a little, taking the note and the plate down to the kitchen he showed it to Chess and Lucy before clearing the plate, washing it and putting it away. He looked back as Lucy and Chess where talking. Finishing he walked back to them to see what was going on

"Chess get some supplies ready" Lucy said grabbing Aaron and dragging him off to her room and gave him a bag "It's not much, there is a few changes of clothes, some money..." she went to her telephone and quickly made a phone call to her mother explaining the whole situation. Aaron didn't fully understand what was going on as events where taking place so quickly.

Placing the phone down she moved into her wardrobe and brought out some trainers and socks "Quickly get these on, my mum said she'd look after you till we can get you a place you can call home" she say her voice sounding rushed as she had no idea when they would return. Aaron wasn't one to argue with anyone and done what he was told.

Taking his wrist they moved down the stairs seeing Chess ready with a bag of treats and food. Lucy smiled taking them "Chess I'll be back soon, just taking Aaron to my mothers" she say placing her coat on him and walking out the door, Aaron was hesitant but moved with her, hoping that it would work "Promise me that if things go bad, you and chess will blame me... I don't want either of you to lose your jobs" he say, she giggled a little "We can't look after you all the time, we have tasks and chores" she say with a wink

Richard sighed, hearing a car. He hadn't expected his parents back so soon. Aaron's room provided the window to show who was arriving and when. He ran over there, noticing things were gone and he was nowhere in sight. He had little to no time to even try and stop them.

He did the only thing he could, calling his parents on their cell phone. "Hello. Mom. Aaron's running away again. He's in one of the extra cars I can't make out who helped him but I have no doubts it's one of our staff. I don't know where they're going either."

Lucy moved with Aaron, he was having second thoughts on it, it seemed far to easy "Lucy I don't think it's a good idea" he say his eyes showing worry. She cared for him, he understood that but still he also had to protect her "Go back home... pretend that you tried to talk me out of it" he say his voice showing panic

Lucy took out directions to her mum's house from her pocket "Follow these and they will take you to my mom, just say your are Aaron and she will take you in" with that she pushed him forward "Run, no matter what don't stop running" she say, the moment that she said that he ran towards the gates, she gave him some time to get a head start before running after him calling for him to stop.

Aaron wanted to but he knew he couldn't it was to keep her safe, but stopped none the less and ran back to her, he couldn't let another be hurt because of her "Lucy I can't" he lowered his head, his heart refused to allow another to be harmed because of him. Lucy sighed knowing his heart was to soft to see someone he cared for hurt and so brought him back to the house "Best getting to your room Aaron" she say softly kissing his head, heading back into the kitchen with the supply back to let chess know what happened

Aaron moved to his room and started to place things away, taking the shoes and the socks off placing them under his bed, he leaned against the wall his eyes closed 'I'm sorry Lucy I won't in danger you or chess' he thought before drifting into a light rest

Richard heard something, coming from Aaron's bathroom. "Oh. You decided to come back? What did you think you were doing. I had to call them because I didn't know what I was seeing." He said, a huge hint of anger under his breath. "I suppose your just lucky Dad didn't bring his work cell and I ended up finding it and hung up."

He sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for an explanation. He wouldn't physically harm the boy this time since too much time went by already. Their parents would be back soon. Verbally was a different story. He was supposed to punish him so he would interrogate him at the very least.

Aaron opened one of his eyes as he heard Richards voice, before closing it "I thought I'd press my luck" he say his tone quiet, it wasn't a lie but then again it wasn't a truth either "Lucy ran after me and told me I was making a mistake, that I would be hurt likely badly if I left the grounds so I turned and came back home" this wasn't a lie as this is what Lucy had been yelling out to him, what he failed to mention was it was just an act

"If you are going to punish me like your note said, get it over and done with, so I can curl up, cry, get it out of my system before the wave of yelling and beating from father and the extra amount of chores and screaming from mother" his voice showed lack of life almost like he had given up "Going by the time father and mother will not be back until after one, it is ten in the morning at the moment" he closed his eye once more and sat quietly

Richard shook his head. "I'm not going to hurt you. Leave it up to them really. But if you don;t want me to tell them of this event. I suggest you do my homework for a month. Along with doing a few other more personal things for me. I'm allowing your body time to heal." He said as he left to go get the list of assignments and homework as well as books needed. "Here's what I have so far." He held out a stack of more major assignments and papers.

Aaron opened his eyes as he heard his brother talk "Your homework?" he say in disbelief "Our handwriting isn't the same, mines is neater" he say knowing for a fact it was as he tried to perfect it to impress their parents to no avail, sighing he nodded to the homework part of the deal but he looked to Richard as he mentioned 'personal' things, it was this that worried him "What do you mean personal things?" he ask wanting to be clear, though his voice showed he was worried

Seeing Richard leave only to return with a laundry list of homework papers and books his eyes widened reading the list "some of these are due tomorrow, I can't believe you haven't done them yet... I still have homework of my own I don't know if I can complete both" he was anxious and it showed "Ry you can't be serious" he looked over to his desk which had a few assignments but no where as near as many as he had just been given, they learned from the same tutor and where given the same assignments, he just couldn't comprehend how Richard seemed not to have touched a single one

"I've been busy with mom and kept putting it off." Richard shrugged. "I really meant to start them when they were assigned." It was hard being the popular one. "I mean just helping me out from time to time. No worrying. I'll just need your mouth. And if you think of biting I will tell in a quick second." He said as he gave his hint and threat.

"I started on some I think so I guess I could try and do anything I started on." He said, figuring to lighten the load a little by one or two papers. Other than that he didn't care of their tutor noticed the difference or not. His parents would probably back him up. "That's all for now."

Aaron took the papers and placed him on his desk, fixing them into when they where due "three due tomorrow..." he sighed a little "I-I can get them done, but I will not be able to do chores, which puts me into default for punishment again" he was concerned that he was getting screwed over no matter what he done "I'll manage to get my chores and the assignments done somehow" he say sitting on his chair and beginning to do the first assignment.


He stopped mid word, his eyes going as he heard what he hinted at as a personal things "R-Ry I can't do that.. i-it's wrong we're siblings" he stutter looking back to his elder sibling, he knew he couldn't refuse it would mean a strong punishment and even worse restrictions on him. Turning he wouldn't agree to that stipulation but continued to work on the assignment

"I-I'll start them all from scratch, I refuse to finish someone else's work... it's just plain laziness, not that having someone else do your homework is any better" he hissed quietly continuing the chore, he had already done this assignment but he needed it to sound differently of else the tutor would accuse them of copying and he already knew he would get blamed

"Fine. and you can't refuse. I think I'm being pretty lenient." Richard didn't care if they were related or not. He would do as he wished. He already proved that. He pondered locking the door or not when he left the room, leaving it unlocked this time to see what he would do. "I expect you to come by later on after supper. When there are no more check ins." He shouted through the door.

"I can refuse, it's immoral Ry" he say glancing back, he already knew because of the actions the day before he would never find peace when he died, he refused to make his afterlife any worse, his eyes going back to his task, he didn't see how this was lenient, and if it was he would have loved to see what being tough would have been.

Flinging such thoughts out of his head he continued listening to his door closing "I'm not coming by, I have your homework, my own and chores!" he yelled back, after a while he got up and moved out his room placing his pen behind his ear yawning a little as he moved to the kitchen, he smiled weakly to them both letting them know what was going on. "It's not right" chess said bringing out something sweet for him to eat so he could get back to studying

Once finished he rushed back to his room to continue, finishing the first assignment he quickly moved to the second "Drawing?" standing he moved out of his room and moved to Richard's, stopping outside he opened the door a bit and looked around the apartment sized room and felt overwhelmed "Ry what do you want drawn, he refused to move to far into the room, he wanted to get the assignments done as soon as he could

"What does the assignment say? anything specific?" Richard asked. He thought of a bunch of things that wouldn't be allowed unless it was an actual art program at an art school. Nudity was probably out of the question. He leaned in his doorway. "If you find time later I do hope you drop by again." He grabbed the sheet, reading it. "some type of material object. That seems a bit boring. Still life. Any stuffed animal or something that's interesting in here?"

"If the assignment was specific I wouldn't be here would I, I would be in my room doing it" he sighed "I will not have the time so it will not happen" he say listening as the sheet was grabbed almost giving him a papercut "I see noting in your room that I personally find interesting, but that is just me" he say taking the sheet back looking to see which assignment he was looking at are rolled his eyes pointing to the one they where meant to be doing "life sketch..." he say though would finish with 'dummie' under his breath "so it can be anything you want, in any pose you like so longs it is to do with real life people or things" he finish waiting for a response

Richard smirked. "can it be nude?" His eyes showing a hint of satisfaction. If it was allowed he would have such a field day. "Nah. Just go to your waist. Now get going. Before I make you do something more tedious." He had a list of things made up by now that would be able to be done by both of them, but mainly would be used against Aaron.

Richard then closed the door without another word. He gave his orders so the least Aaron could do is go back to finish his homework then get back to the list of chores. He still expected him to drop by if he would like to live.

Noticed the smirk as he asked the question closing his eyes he rolled them but nodded "Yes it can be" he say gently, hearing him say he would get him to do something more tedious he opened his eyes only wondering what it would be, but shook his head throwing it to the back of his mind, he didn't want to even think down that path.

Moving back to his room to took Richard's sketchbook and some pencils, before heading down the stairs and out the front door. Standing on the step he looked around for a good spot with sunlight, smiling as he found a tree that he heard chirping coming from. Even though he was barefoot he shoved the sketch book up his shirt and the pencils in his mouth before climbing it making sure to be a few branches higher.

Looking down he could see the chicks and their parents coming to feed them and smiled, taking out the sketchpad he placed what Richard wanted out the way and started drawing what he seen below him, it didn't take him more than an hour to get the sketch fully detailed and shaded, after all it only took a quarter of the page, he decided that he would make Richard look good and now started on the second part of the assignment.

After another hour he looked down seeing Lucy "Little brother, what are you doing up there?" she ask with a happy tone, "I'm doing Richard's art homework, we where told to a life sketch... he wanted me to do a waist up of myself but I decided I'm going to make him look good" he sigh looking back at the sketchpad and continuing what he was doing.

Lucy sighed "He should try making himself look good honestly for once, why the hell are you doing his homework?" she ask her voice showing she didn't approve, Aaron didn't look up from the pad this time "If I don't do his homework for a month then he will tell our parents I tried to run and that staff helped" he say knowing with one work Richard could have the staff replaced

he started placing detain into what he was drawing fighting back tears, even from the ground Lucy could see what ever he was drawing was hurting him meaning only one thing "Come down from their Aaron, it's going to rain and you don't have shoes on" she call up, placing the sketchbook up his top and the pencils back in his mouth he climbed down the tree being careful not to disturb the family of birds.

"I finished it, not what he was wanting but it will gain him extra credit" he bought out the sketchpad but closed it quickly so it couldn't be seen "Why are you out here?" he ask, Lucy smiled "Because you have chores..." she say sighing "We will pick up your chores, you just deal with your homework" she say leading him indoors just as it started to rain "Good call" Aaron chuckled running back to his room to start on the last assignment

Richard had decided to take a nap. He needed it and was still sleepy after it. He hadn't heard any yelling so his parent's were not home just yet. He only slept for two more hours, setting his alarm to sleep in the next day. He stayed in there, brushing up on his reading. He decided to read up on his vast porn collection.

During the time Richard was asleep he Aaron finished the final piece of homework that was due the following morning "Math..." he looked at the calculus paper "Check, Literature..." he looked at the English paper he literally just finished "Check. Art..." he flipped to the sketch and smiled "Check". picking up the three assignments he moved out his room and down to Richards room and opened the door sheepishly "Ry I have the assignments for tomorrow finished" he say slowly moving into the room

"Oh? You should get started on the rest then. I guess I don't need you tonight." Richard said casually as he lay sprawled out on the bed. He wasn't horny like he earlier hoped he would be. Call it luck for Aaron. He'd long tossed his books aside as he grew bored of them. He was starting to get sick of hetero porn. If he could get those books any other way though, that might be a different story. He'd look around the next time they go out to book stores and things. He'd not let his parents see and probably plant it in Aaron's room just to be safe.

Aaron shook his head "All i've been doing all day is homework, I'm not doing any more today..." he paused and though "Well no more of yours I still have five assignments due for the end of next week and I refuse to make myself look bad with out teacher because you don't want to do your homework" he say moving to sit on Richard's bed

He found his bedsheets where silk something he had forgotten he had also had once, his bedsheets were simple white cotton without any embroidery. sighing he held out the assignments "I didn't do what you asked for the art one, instead I done something different" he said, biting his lip for a second "I went outside the house and climbed up a tree when I done that assignment he confess to the other, he knew he would have found out eventually so decided to come clean.

He looked to see if Richard would look at what he had drawn, if he did indeed open his sketchpad at the top left hand corner there would be a nest with two chicks in a nest, a mother dove standing on one side feeding one of the chicks and the father dove keeping a watchful eye for potential dangers. The main part of the paper would be their family in a picnic scene, he would be resting his head on Richard's lap happily asleep, Richard who would have his sketchpad drawing, their mother bringing things out of a picnic basket and placing them onto the blanket and their father beside her looking over the area as to see if their where anything around it was a happy scene "I hope you like it" he say looking down he really was wanting his brothers approval, if he didn't like it he would draw something else

Richard took the paper. He guessed he might as well look at it. He silently studied every detail for 20 agonizing minutes. He then decided to speak at which he agreed and disagreed on. "Good composition but It's pretty unlikely any more. So it's more of a dream that will probably never happen. When was the last time we've done things like this?" He asked, not being able to remember clearly since his mind had been clouded over with what their parents drilled into him.

He kept his head bowed the complete time his hands clenching his trousers as his brother spoke "The teacher doesn't know it is a dream, to the outside world we are a happy family in complete harmony, so even if it is a dream..." he turned his head away "It's a dream that will get you extra credit, if you don't like it I will put it in as my homework and draw you a basket of fruit" he say with a light growl, he worked hard on it to make everything perfect

"The last time anything like this happened was our fifth birthday, the day everything changed... the day I done something wrong it seems and became nothing more than a shadow" he remembered that day well as his clothing wasn't the fine silks he was use, tailored to fit his form but plain white baggy cotton clothing that was for a child a few years older than him, it was the day the luxury items he had where taken from his side of the room and was left bare

"It'll pass. Care to remind me what happened from your perspective, dear brother?" Richard petted the bed for him to sit and talk. It would give him a break as well from the homework he'd made Aaron do. He hadn't noticed what had gone wrong on that day and he didn't really remember it really. Their parents had polluted his mind so he wouldn't do whatever Aaron had done to drift them apart. He has a nice side, it just rarely shows now.

Aaron stood up as Richard patted the bed "No, I wouldn't because I done nothing wrong... I was five, one minute mother and father loved me... next minute everything I knew was taken from me and I became a cage bird" he say sadly, he took the sketchpad and walked towards the door "Since you don't like it I will draw something else for you, I will had in what I drew earlier to the teacher" his voice was void of emotion as he moved away

Richard scoffed. He said it would do. What more did Aaron want. He was slowly losing his patience. And here he was trying to be nice. "But really I don't remember anything. And I said it was a pass." He grabbed Aaron's wrist as he tried to leave, pulling him back in. "Are my answers not good enough or something?" He bit his lip, controlling his anger. If Aaron said the wrong thing right now he might snap and take out his anger on him. Not by his fault but all the pent up rage over the years. Truth be told, he didn't really like the attention and preferred to do his own thing.

Aaron looked back and pushed the sketchpad back into Richards chest as his wrist was grabbed "You don't remember because it didn't effect you, nothing ever does!" he say his voice slightly raised "You can lie from the back of your teeth and get away with it! I tell the truth and I still get punished..." he look down "THANKS FOR MAKING MY LIFE TODAY A LIVING FUCKING HELL!" he yelled "You have everything I wanted, you have their love" with that he pulled his wrist away from Richard's he had had enough

"I don't really want it. They're annoying. Always getting me to do things they should be doing. Like how I have to watch you like a hawk and reprimand you. That should be all them. Not me. I'm not a fucking babysitter." Richard was also getting sick of everything. It's not like they could switch places and feel better or anything. He let Aaron go as he cooled down. He had come close to snapping but held back.

"Ry then do yourself a fucking favor, stop being a damn babysitter and let me go" he growl stopping he turn and look at him "You are like them, you always will be... if you weren't YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FUCKING CUT ME... YOU WOULDN'T HAVE RAPED ME" tears streamed down his face "You wouldn't have lied and you wouldn't want personal favors..." he turned and walked a way "Do us both a fucking favor and stop kidding yourself, you are their clone and I'm here just to make your life easier" he opened the door and stopped for a moment "I'm a doll outside and inside" with that he left the room and went to his own room flopping on his bed

Richard wasn't affected by those words since he knew it was true. But he still hated doing their dirty work. But some of it he did enjoy. He thought it funny the way Aaron had an outburst. That was one thing he was always like. He never flinched if he was being yelled at or anything. He figured he'd give Aaron some cooling time since he wasn't in the mood to act on rage.

After a while Aaron got off his bed and pulled the key for his room from his pocket as he stood and walked towards it, he placed the key in the door and turned it only three quarters of the way. this meant the couldn't open the door from the outside.

Everything was building up and he was getting angry something he didn't want to do as he could get into trouble, he knew Richard wouldn't be as nice all the time when he outburst. He also knew for the next month he was at Ry's beckon call and that didn't sit well with him, but if he didn't do it the Chess and Lucy's career's could be at stake.

Slowly he moved back to his bed and crawled under it curling his hand going to his hair as he closed his eyes, he felt safe where he was and because of his upbringing believed he was exactly where he belonged, on the floor like a rug, eventually he drifted off to sleep

Richard had decided to go for a walk in the garden, taking his sketchbook with him. He was not in the mood for doing assignments so he took a new sketchbook. One that was to be used just for himself. He wasn't going to draw anything from within the garden but decided to doodle away his anger none the less. By the end of the 2 hours he was in the garden, he had a few sketches detailed. He had done things from his head, not really having them as anyone he knew. He had foxes and things like that running around.

Aaron remained under his bed, waking as he heard gentle knocking he just wanted to be left alone, turning he took the pencil he still had and drew on the wall much like a child would with a crayon his left hand never leaving his hair as he drew.

unlike the picture he drew earlier for Richard's assignment he drew their fifth birthday, the sun was shining a no clouds where in the sky, their parents holding out gifts to Richard with a pile more on the table next to him, he however sat in the shadow Richard had behind him holding a single banged up package, that looked like it hand been wrapped with a newspaper, beside him was a book, as the picture moved away from Richard and their parents more and more clouds where drawn.

It was how he remembered that day, tears falling from his eyes as he dropped the pencil, he didn't know what his crime was, but the day after his hair was cut to the length it was now and was never allowed to grow "What was my crime?" he whimper, hearing a voice he didn't recognize from the household he blinked seeing pair of feet "Your crime is a simple one" the voice said "Your crime was being second born" the man said, Aaron clenched his eyes and shook his head, there was no way anyone could have been in his room he locked the door.

Opening his eyes the feet where gone "RY!!!!!" he screamed scooting out from his bed he moved to the door fumbling with the key for a moment before managing to open it, he was scared as he ran towards Richards room. not seeing him there he jamp into his bed none the less almost as if it would keep him safe

Richard had drained his emotional anger, climbing down from the red oak he was currently sitting in. He decided he would get a snack and head back to his room. He stopped by the kitchen, grabbing whatever he'd made that was still in there. He decided to walk back to his room the long way. He noticed Aaron's door was opened.

He thought it strange. He then noticed the drawing, vaguely remembering the happenings. He still hadn't known what had gone wrong. He shrugged, heading back to his room. He placed his sketchbook down and jumped onto his bed until he felt someone was in it. "Who..oh." He did wonder where Aaron had gone, expecting that to be the last place he would be. "something wrong? You never hop in my bed unless there is." He got up and closed the door for more privacy.

Aaron let out a yelp as squashed by his big brother, hearing his voice he brought the blanket down "S-someone was in my room..." he stutter shaking a little "I-it was a man, I-I don't know how he got in I locked my door after I took they key from your room" his voice showed he was panicked, he didn't say anything else instead he brought the blanket up over his head. He had this same problem as a child but it was put down to an imaginary friend

"You didn't have anything happen like this in a long time. Why only now. You think it was your old friend?" Richard asked, going to cradle Aaron by lying over him like an extra blanket. It wasn't often Aaron had experienced the voices. At least not in 5 years. He secretly used to console him when that'd happen, glad their parents never found that out.

He still thought he should have gotten tested for any personality disorder tests when he was younger but that never happened. Their parents had brushed it off. "You still have the key?" He asked, thinking to lock the door just until he was done at least. He didn't need anyone walking in on them even if he wasn't going to touch Aaron.

Aaron shook his head at the question "N-no I didn't recognize the voice Ry" he whimper as he shook, he didn't pull away from Richard he done the opposite and leaned into him he was scared, he heard voices every now and then and said nothing, but he never actually seen any physical manifestation of them "R-Ry I-I'm scared" his voice showed fear as he spoke

Aaron shook his head under the blanker "N-no, I just wanted to get out of there, p-please don't make me go back he might be there" he sob fighting back how he felt, he didn't know why he heard voices but as much as he hated it here, he didn't want to be sent away to a mental institute "Please don't tell them Ry... I beg you, I'll do what every you want just please don't tell them"

Richard shook his head. "gimme the key if you have it on you. I won't tell because I need you so I can get away with what I do. And I guess I'd miss you too." He got up, searching Aaron for the key and locking his door the same way Aaron had. He then went to his top drawer, looking around for a bottle of pills.

He had sleeping pills hidden in his drawer for nights when he just couldn't sleep. He figured giving Aaron one or two wouldn't hurt. But he would do so after he was done coaxing him into a little trust. They were only a small dosage so he usually took two when he couldn't sleep. "Now tell me all you heard."
