Gemini pov

It's late night and I couldn't sleep I watch him sleeping soundly on my chest as I run my fingers through his hair before kissing his head. Sleeping was the best thing for him right now sure it's the only way he could get a peace of mind even though he assured me so many times he's okay I know he's not. I haven't seen any of my family since what went down I don't know how they feel knowing fourth dad is THE serial killer

I slowly slide out from under him using a pillow he grumbles as he furrow his brows searching the pillow I used to replace me I paused rubbing my hand through his hair as he sighs before going back to sleep. I tiptoe leaving the room not wanting to make a sound whining a little when the door makes a creaking noise I look to see him still asleep as I open the door moving outside the room before closing the door slowly

"You just reminded me of me when I put you to sleep"my dad says making me startled as I turn holding my chest to see him leaning on the other side of the wall

"Christ Dad!" I whisper yell making him chuckle taking a sip of whatever his drinking "how are you here?"

"Cant sleep?"he asks instead as I nod moving over to him "how is he?"he asks putting his cup on the pavement

"Not okay"

"Of course no one will after that I didn't even know why I asked" he says "he didn't know about Nutsha mom?"

"He didn't"

"Seeing the look on his face, it must've been hard on him"

"It was" I answer sighing as he stares at me with narrow eyes

"Stop with the two word answer"

"Huh?"

" 'he does' 'it was' give me something other than that"

"Dad..."

"You are not okay" he says "something's bothering you"

"I'm f-"

"Why can't you sleep?" He asks cutting me off as I stare at him questioning why can't I sleep "I know something is bothering you son what is it?" He asks softly

"I-" I paused staring blankly as I start to realized something was actually bothering me something my mind is taking time to comprehend I just allow my mouth say whatever it was "I..I....Seeing fourth cry because of something like this...hurts a lot... Knowing I can't do anything to make him not feel this way makes it worst.....what if I introduce him to people tomorrow and they already know him as a serial killer son and one of their family member was also killed by him I don't want fourth feeling the way his going to feel about the information the guilt for something he didn't do.. how do you make someone not feel guilty w-what do I have to do?..."I ask shakily sounding desperate and out of breath as my heart beat races

"Son..."he calls searching my face with wide eyes

"What if he knows how many people his dad killed in this family the guilt will kill him dad....he might even leave me a-again thinking I don't deserve him I don't think I can..." Just the thought of him leaving me again made my heart shatter "how do I make him not feel that way...I need to do something wh-"

"Hey..."he calls softly cutting me off wiping the tear I didn't even know fell from my eyes "God...when did you get this.." he says looking at me amazed "this big..." he finishes rubbing my arm "Son you can't stop someone from feeling a certain emotion... fourth is going to feel guilty towards hearing what his dad did because of how much he looked up to him,the values he had about him...you just have to help him control the emotions when he starts to feel that way okay..." I nod as he rubs my head "You hurt because you love him .... he really has you wrapped around his fingers huh..." he chuckles
