004 Sniffles

[kinship]

[A: EVERYWHERE IN MAYFIELD (Action; open)]

[Cain had risen early and left a note for his for his family on the side: GOING OUT. BACK LATER. CAIN. So now there was a small ten-year-old boy, muffled up in a scarf and coat, knocking on every door. He sounds bunged up with a cold, but he's smiling enthusiastically at whoever answers. Could it be you?!]

Good morning! Do you need any odd-jobs doing? Or any chores? I'm trying to raise some money for a present for my family.

[B: Phone and Home]

[After a long day, Cain is sat at home with a blanket around himself and several packages by his side (presents for the family) on the couch. He's shivering and sniffing, he's never been ill before so this is a new experience on him and he's not sure what to do with it. While he's waiting for his family to come back home, he picks up the phone to ask for advice.]

What are you supposed to feel like when you have a cold? What do you do to make it better?

Mm. It was 1488 Kramden Road.

[But Abel seems far more distressed over this. Cain is upset over the drones being hurt, but he's not traumatised or injured himself.]

[he nods, committing the number and street name to memory, before pulling his babby brovver closer and tucking his head under Abel's chin.]

I'll do what I can. There are people here with powers and abilities... people who want to protect others. Someone must be able to do something...

I'll go and watch the house myself if I have to, but I'm no good in a fight.

[And he's not stupid enough to just throw himself in harm's way, usually. He's not Lilith.]

I could watch with binoculars from a distance, and then shout for help if I saw something.

You shouldn't go near that house again. If that man catches sight of you, it could be trouble.

[and like hell Abel is letting Cain out of his sight. FOREVER.]

[kinship]

[Hugging Abel a bit closer, as though he could sense his brother's unease, he pressed a kiss to his throat.]

Okay, please don't worry, I won't do anything dangerous.

[mmmn ;; he doesn't want to lose you again, that's... all... ;;]

...I just want to keep you safe, Cain.

[kinship]

[He has no idea he was ever lost in the first place ):]

You always have done, that's what you're best at. I know I'll never be hurt with you looking out for me.

[flskdjf... ;( he settles into quiet a moment, just. keeping him close.]

Try to get some rest, alright? Do you want me to make you some soup, and then you can take a nap?

[kinship]

[Resting his head against that beloved heartbeat, he's sort of half fallen into a sick-doze anyway.]

Mm? Some soup would be nice, but I don't want to move, you're really comfy.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

[d'awww. he rests his cheek atop a blonde head of hair, fondness and a little guilty pang at odds with each other in his chest. he's sorry you're sick, brother ;;]

Ahh, well... soup can wait a bit. Maybe it's nap time.

[kinship]

[Mmmm. He won't argue with that, it's been a long day and trying in its own way. Snuggling a little bit closer, he curls up and closes his eyes.

It's about thirty seconds flat before he's sleeping, doing that attractive cold mouth breathing.]

[sdflkjsdf his babby ;; Abel cradles dis little cute thing close, protectively, watching his chest rise and fall as he sleeps.

he's so... small and vulnerable and... cute. he's the best memories of the past, come right to life again.

don't... worry. he won't mess it up twice. he'll take care of you, and he'll NEVER LET YOU GET SICK AGAIN!! use your big-little bro pillow as long as you need, Cain ;;]
