Decades Between Us

[18] Boys will be bugs

Clay woke up that morning, he quickly noticed how tightly cuddled up to him george was. It was unusual for him to be so cuddly, he may have had a nightmare in the night and cuddled up to him without realising.

Clay ran circles over georges back, soon george began to stir. he sat up with a smile, yet clays face dropped

"george what the hell?" clay noticed a large bruise was forming over georges left cheek, george reached out to cover it forgetting about his wrist, instantly revealing the other bruised part of his body. His wrist was a mix of dark purple tones.

George winced as clay lifted his hand to touch georges face, he ran a finger over the bruise.

"what happened?"
"i fell getting a drink last night" george lied, it was a blatant lie. Clay could see the finger marks on georges wrist, somebody else had done this

george had never seen clay look so angry, he didn't look this mad even when he was fighting the satyr.

"nick- what the fuck? why would nick do this"
"did you just read my mind??!? clay! you know i don't like when you do that"
"i'm hardly going to let somebody get away with doing this, but nick?" clay got up, he left the room and george knew where he was going

George ran up and chased after him, clay had already burst into nicks room.

Karl was sat on nicks lap planting kisses over him before their heads turned, clay and george stood in the doorway.

Clay stormed over, karl quickly scrambled off of nick; clay grabbed nick by the throat, nick responded with a bitter smile

"you ever lay your hands on him again and i swear to god i'll-"
"you'll what? kill your oldest friend, pfft don't kid yourself clay" nick chuckled, yet clay tightened his grip causing nick to gasp for air slightly towards the end of his sentence
"no, you don't know what i'll do" clay gripped even tighter, a red taking over nicks face
"daddy likes being choked" nick winked biting his lip, clay let go "you're fucking gross" he mumbled making his way back to george
"nick, what did you do to george?" karl asked, a sadness on his voice
"don't worry baby, he deserved it"

george looked as if he wanted to say something but bit his tongue keeping quiet.

"seriously nick, i don't know what the fucks up with you lately but drop it" clay grunted
"okay daddy dream" nick laughed, he was treating the situation like a joke when in reality it was much more sinister than that

clay left the room, george followed closely behind.

Clay picked george up and george wrapped his legs around him nuzzling into his neck and shoulder.

he took george to the kitchen and placed him on the counter before walking over to the freezer and taking an ice pack out.

he sighed wrapping it in a cloth and bringing it to george, he held it to georges cheek.

"i'm more than capable of-"
"stop complaining, just let me do this" clay sighed, yet a finger lifted his chin
"i can see you blaming yourself clay"
"you're meant to feel safe with me, you shouldnt be afraid of what my friends will do to you, i don't know what's gotten over him lately"
"you don't have to make excuses for people who don't deserve to be excused clay, i'm not mad at you"
"because you're too nice"
"no stupid, because i love you. I know it isn't your fault"
"i love you too, i'm sorry he's being this way"
"it's okay, hopefully he'll get over it" george gave a reassuring smile, deep down he knew he should be angrier, he maybe even should've stuck up for his self more. But then again, sticking up for himself against a vampire with ungodly powers would be a losing bet for george.

"hello muffins!- my god george what happened to your face!" bad had entered the room
"what happened is that your son is a dickhead" clay mumbled bringing the ice pack to georges wrist
"nick? you know what he's like he gets all fired up over nothing"
"bad- that doesn't give him the right to hurt george like this, i get you love him but you can't just excuse shit like this" clay exclaimed clearly frustrated

bad raised his hands in a surrendering manner, "fine fine, i'll talk to him" he trailed off to nicks room, opening the door softly

"bad is nicks dad? i didn't see that coming-" george chuckled, a smile peeking from clays face
"sort of? nicks a pure bred, meaning he was born a vampire to vampire parents. It causes his blood to be black, he has more abilities than a glistener, like me, would. Nicks parents died a year after he was born, orphaned vampires get assigned a spirit guide, bad was his. So bad has raised him essentially for three centuries. He's like a father to him"

"This supernatural talk makes no sense, what on earth is a glistener? a spirit guide?" george giggled; clay shook his head mockingly in response
"A glistener is a vampire that was born mortal but was turned into a vampire by a pure bred, i was born human but as you know nick bit me turning me into a vampire. My blood glistens and sparkles and it's a much deeper red than humans would be. A spirit guide is a protector i suppose, they usually are accompanied by a spirit, in bads case that would be skeppy. Spirit guides often get assigned to orphaned supernatural beings, like nick was. Normally they leave once the orphan turns a century old but bad stuck by us, he's good like that, he's sort of a big brother to me."

"i'm going to pretend that made sense"
"it will overtime, i promise"
