For the last two days Leon has been refusing to eat, drink or do anything besides cry and sleep. The pain of accidentally ruining his favorite brother's caused the young man great despair. A despair only an older siblings can feel. A despair that could drive a man to madness with a little push in the wrong direction.
"Leon... Do you want some food?" Victor frowns, playing with the door's keys. "It's not healthy to be alone for a long time... And I sorta miss you."
"Leave me alone." Leon grumbles. He looks down at his slowly healing hands, decorated with scabs. Most of the blood is dried out but more fresh ones line his upper arm.
"Leon. This is not healthy and you know it. Come out here and we can talk this out." Victor's voice became more stern but almost motherly. But being reminded of family is not what the young man needed right now.
"Just go. Please. I will come out when I want too."Leon leans into his pillows, gripping one tightly.
Victor sighs softly and uses the keys the open the door. Leon just shoves his face into the pillow like a child, trying not to be seen. Victor sits on the bed, one foot away from Leon.
"Leon, just know I'm trying to help you."
"I know but I don't want help right now! I just want my brother... My sweet, perfect, adorable little brother who would do anything for me or to make me happy." Leon tries to hold tears back but fails. The water drips into the pillow like a leaky pipe. Victor clenches his jaws, not wanting to break Leon even further with the truth. "Brother... My little Hop, you don't know how much I want you back and what I'll do for you."
"What would you do to get Hop back? I already spoke to him a he se-"
"You seen him? You seen my brother!?" Leon head springs up and whips towards Victor. "How is he? Does he miss me? Did you find the cause of Hop's actions? Does he still love me?" Like a predator cornering it's prey, Leon slowly comes closer to Victor. His eyes were intense, glowing of questions.
Victor stutters, not able to think with Leon staring at him like that. To Victor it's kinda cute but still a little scary. Unable to form an answer, Leon creeps closer on all fours.
"H-Hop is fine. He does miss you though..." Victor attempts to look away, stopped by Leon's hand going onto his wrist.
"Tell me the truth. How is Hop." Leon lowers his eyebrows, staring into Victor's soul.
"He's going insane and just wants to make you proud by drugging all of Galar into forever bliss, taking away most of their free will!" Victor blurts. With his free hand, he covers his mouth.
Leon goes silent, dropping his head down. He slowly crawls backwards, processing the words. "He wants to control all of Galar by controlling them with happiness... He wants to control all of Galar to make me proud... He wants the world to get out of our way so we can be together..." Leon keeps repeating the last phrase, slowly turning to a evil cult chant of sorts.
"Leon...?" Victor gets off the bed, moving closer and closer to the door.
"My little Hop with reunited with me soon. I will destroy anyone who gets between us. I must find him a fix him. I shall sew him back together and he will become the new chairman of the league. This will make him happy and will also give him fame." Leon slowly starts to smile, letting his mysterious plan take over him. "After I do that, everyone will know and respect him."
"L-Leon, you're starting to scare me..." Victor trembles, thinking back to Hop's speech about his perfect world.
"You shouldn't be scared, Vic. You won't be harmed if you don't get in my way."
"LEON! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MIND LIKE HOP!" Victor rushes towards Leon, grabbing him into a hug. "I can't lose you too..."
"Huh? O-Oh. Sorry Viccy... I don't know what that was b-but I'm sorry about that sweetheart." Leon hugs Victor lightly, shaking in fear.
"This is what happen to your brother. He's been taken over by this dream and he is trying to make it a reality. We must stop him, for his own sake! And if we do, you two can hang out more after this nightmare is taken care of... And you can make him the chairman."
"Alright." Leon grabs Victor's hand, going back to normal. "Let's see Hop and find out who drove him to this state." Victor nods back.
"Yes!" But doubt still lingered in Victor's mind, wondering how hollow these words are.
