Okay, I might be addicted to Greenflower now. Thanks for that. This is platonic and even better, comfort with a trigger warning; abuse! Yay! 

Lloyd's P.o.v.

I stumble into the room and sit heavily on the bed. My bloodied shirt stuck to my body. Brad was on his feet in an instant and pulling my shirt off. The room swirls in colors and lights, hurting my already throbbing head. I lean into Brad's firm grip. He breathes deeply when he looks at my back. I whine and grab his arm. He gently lays me on my stomach as I squeeze his arm in pain. I close my eyes to block the lights. I feel a pillow get shoved in my arms. I muffle a scream when something cold presses against my back. Brad whispers encouraging things to me, but I find it hard to listen. A wave of tiredness washes over me

"Lloyd?"

"Hmm?" 

"Open your eyes. I don't want you to fall asleep."

"But I'm tired," I groan.

"I know. Just a little longer." He says. I begrudgingly open my eyes. "Good job, Lloyd." I whimper loudly when a stabbing pain works its way down my back.

"It hurts," I whimper.

"I know, but you're doing fantastic. You're very strong. Keep it up. Good job." He says, rubbing my arms. I notice the familiar feeling of bandages wrapping around my back. Brad pulls a blanket over my body as I squeeze the pillow in pain.

"Okay, you can sleep now," He says. I gladly close my eyes and relax as best as I can, letting sleep come over me. 

 ----------------Timeskip----------------

I wake up to the sound of Brad moving around. I open my eyes to see him hurriedly get dressed.

"Brad? Where are you going?" He turns around. We've lived together long enough to be comfortable changing in front of one another.

"I need to go eat. If they suspect something, I'll be in huge trouble."

"I don't want you to go," I whine.

"I know, but you know the rules. We aren't allowed to help someone who's been punished." I frown. He moves closer and strokes my hair. "I'll be back as soon as possible. I'll bring some food and medicine back if I can." He whispers. I nod. "Good boy. You stay like that. I want you to stay on your belly, got it?" I nod again. He crosses the room.

"Bye," I whimper.

"Bye, Lloyd." He says, hurrying out the door.

I hug the pillow tightly. The unnatural silence that filled the room was unsettling. A random pain in my back forces me to spasm and clutch the pillow. As soon as I can, I relax. My stomach is already starting to hurt. This will be a long day.

----------------Timeskip----------------

It's been a while and I find myself thinking about him. He's so cute, with his freckles and thin body. He has really pretty eyes. I could get lost in them. I blush, thinking about my crush on him. His hair always shines, and he's so strong despite being slightly frail looking. The door opens, and Brad smiles at me. I smile back, pretending I wasn't just thinking about him. He quickly crosses the room after locking the door. Sitting next to me, I can feel his body heat.

"How do you feel?" He asks, stroking my hair again.

"Better, I guess."

"Good."

I close my eyes as he pulls the blanket back. He checks my back quickly, apologizing when I let out a stray whimper. I grab his arm when he finishes and tug on it gently. He lays down next to me and turns his head so he can see me.

"Brad?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think we'll ever get out of here?"

"I hope so,"

"I hope we make it out together. We could go to the town, Ignacia. We could buy a house and fill it with stuff we get. Think of how many books we could have!"

"Heh, that would be nice. We could replace ours since they're falling apart. Or buy new ones and display the old ones in our room!" He joins in. I shuffle a little closer and he lets me cuddle his arm.

"Someday," I whisper, suddenly tired.

"Someday." He agrees.

I fall asleep, comfortable in his presence. I feel something press against my forehead before I'm completely out of it.

Brad's P.o.v.

I watch Lloyd fall asleep. Without a second thought, I kiss his forehead. He smiles and pushes against me more. I know he's asleep, but this is good news so far. I wonder if he has a crush on me like I have a crush on him. I hope so. I kiss him again and close my eyes. Maybe, one day, we'll be more than friends living together. Maybe we'll be married.

Maybe.

Aww, this one is cute. It's been in my drafts for a bit. so long, in fact, I thought I would never finish. I hope you liked it.
