Alaricas

Chapter 31

I groaned when someone suddenly jumped on my bed, by the scent, it was Alaricas. I smiled as he started to gently tickle my back, earning a few laughs from me.

Even though he's annoying at times, I can't help but smile. After a month he has finally started to act normal around me. He was a annoyingly cocky bastard, but I didn't mind.

Now, I just have to get him to open up to his brother, Jayden, and Nicole. He's fine around Cain, but Cain doesn't touch him or anything. Eduardus wants to give his brother a hug and be able to talk to him without Alaricas flinching all the time.

I know him and Eduardus were close when they were younger. Alaricas ended up telling me about how Eduardus would get him out of a beating as much as he could.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that Eduardus was and still is protective over his brother. It's breaking his heart to see his own baby brother flinching away from him, as if he were the one to abuse and torture him.

Throughout the nights Alaricas would get nightmares, he would sometimes call for me or call for Eduardus. Eduardus was too scared to touch him though, so he sat by the bed and said soothing things to him.

I felt bad for him, he cared a lot for Alaricus, but couldn't do much to help him. Or at least give him a comforting hug like he use to when they were younger.

Alaricas sighed and rolled on top of me, he burst out laughing when I started yelling at him.

"Get off of me, you big donkey!" I snapped.

He chuckled, "Nope."

"Honestly, you're acting like a toddler." I huffed.

"I prefer immature, but toddler works too."

"Does anything offend you?"

"Nope."

I smirked, "Oh yeah?"

"Yepp."

"Okay....virgin dick."

He quickly hopped off of me and narrowed his eyes.

"Take that back." He barked.

I frowned and gave him an innocent look. "Take what back?"

"Virgin dick."

"Take back the truth? I can't exactly do that..."

"Jolene Flare, I swear to god if you don't take that back, you'll regret it." He growled lowly.

I froze as a spark of fear shot through me, I swallowed and took a step away from him. I didn't want this fear to come now, but those words were all too familiar with me. Whether he realizes it or not.

He frowned at me and took a step forward, I yelped and took another back. Realization dawned on him as he stopped and sighed.

"I wasn't going to do anything." He whispered.

I gulped, "I-I know...I'm sorry-

"Hey, it's fine. Okay? It's going to take time." He smiled softly.

I nodded my head, I took a shaky breath as I sat on the bed. He stood there for a few seconds, he then slowly walked over.

"Can I sit beside you?" He asked softly.

I nodded quietly, he took a seat before gently wrapping his arms around me. I started to shake a little, but when he pulled me close and nuzzled his face into the side of my neck, I relaxed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He murmured.

I swallowed, "I know."

We sat there for a few more moments until he smiled against my skin.

"Small tits."

I immediately growled, "That's it."

Alaricas let out a girl like scream as I tackled him. I couldn't contain my laughter, his face was flushed as he quickly stood up. He brushed himself off, flashing me a playful glare.

"We are never going to speak of that again." He mumbled.

I chuckled, "Of course we won't."

"Why did you say we slowly?"

I only smirked before getting up and sprinting out the door.

"Nicole, guess what!"

"Jolene, don't you dare!"
