Auden

All that Auden could think about was the gentle embrace of Alexandrei. Auden had no recollection if that had actually occurred, but he could imagine what it would feel like to be in his arms. Would that be something that I could experience? Will I be able to do that before I die? It seemed like such a simple wish, but there was this dread behind his thoughts that made it feel like it was impossible for him to ever attain. At the very least, I want to see his face again.

Auden was unconscious. Following the events of Alexandrei and him going out, an ambulance had been called and he had been safely taken to the nearest hospital. With his brother Felix being alerted to what had happened, he quickly took off work and cancelled any plans that he had to stay by his side. The hero had been a wreck, and no amount of consoling seemed to make a dent. Auden could feel his arm getting wet with tears night after night, though he wasn't able to say anything about it. As much as Auden could heal fast on his own, the works of other people's quirk and medicine didn't seem to take to his wounds as well. Still, the phoenix wanted nothing more than to be okay and not to worry those that he cared for; it wasn't his time to go yet.

Felix

The knife had gotten lodged into his intestines; that's what the doctor had told Felix when he arrived. Thankfully, it had missed any other organ, and that the doctors were sure that he was going to be okay. The recovery period was going to be a bit longer, as they stated that their medicine seemed to not be as effective as they'd hoped on his wound.

It had devasted Felix to the point that all he'd done was stay by Auden's side other than to get food or go to the bathroom. He'd hold his hand and cry, his head leaning up against his forearm and whispering sweet words of recovery to him. "You can't go before me... I need to protect you." The amount of things that he said was unknown, but after the days that he had been there his voice was hoarse and agitated.

Someone else had asked to come with him to the hospital, to visit him on the first few days that he'd been here; Felix declined. He spat venomous words in secret to the man that had allowed this to happen, unwilling to hear his side of the story. Felix had no knowing that Auden had wanted to do this just to protect Alexandrei, and not that the hero had failed to act to protect one of the students of his school.

Finally, after just under a week of Auden being in the hospital, he got Alexandrei's contact information and told the people at the front that he was allowed to come and see Auden. The reason behind this was one that he wanted to deny: Auden had done nothing but mumble Alexandrei's name in his unconscious state, gripping onto Felix's hand as tears flowed him his eyes. My little brother is in love with him, it seems. As much as he wanted to separate the person that let him get hurt, Felix knew that he'd get chewed out and ignored if Auden woke up to find that he had been denying the eye of his affection for his full recovery time. With is arms crossed, Felix would lean against the outside of Auden's hospital room in wait for the hero.

The moment the paramedics moved in, Alexandrei felt the world around him come back into a harsh, cold reality. They hadn't given him the time of day; apparently the filming from the public allowed them to conclude what had happened and they didn't want his testimony. That confused him even more so than the stabbing. Then they had left without hope of him reconciling with Auden or any idea where he was going, leaving Alexandrei in the dark. Since then, he had spent most of his time staring at the wall of his apartment or office, thinking.[break][break]

His pencil tip snaps.[break][break]

Oh. He had been writing in his journal again, yes, taking down every detail that had happened. Them talking about ice cream. Them talking about Agnis. Them talking about Auden and Chloe. Them... talking. That was all it had really been, right? Talking? Or was he missing the bigger picture again? He sneezes. Someone's thinking about him, it seems.[break][break]

His phone buzzes. It's Felix. He doesn't know if Auden's brother contacting him is a good thing or not.[break][break]

Alexandrei arrives at the hospital within the hour. He has his black attire with his turtleneck and leather jacket again— the outfit he had worn with Auden had promptly been thrown out. It felt... bad, looking at those clothes. Like an air of doubt surrounded him whenever he saw it. He can say the same for when he sees Felix standing outside Auden's room, tense like a lion about to pounce. He was acting like Cerberus, a guard dog to the phoenix.[break][break]

"Felix." Alexandrei greets. Unlike with Auden, he shows absolutely no dregs of emotion, simply standing in front of him.

Felix

Felix taps on his arm, looking at the entrance of the hospital and waiting for the blonde man to enter. Felix knew he would, because Auden mattered deeply to them both. Was he going to make this hard, and comment about how he should have been able to see him sooner, or judge Felix for keeping him away. He didn't care at all for what he thought, because Felix was the only person that could protect him... Or so he thought.

"Alexandrei." His eyes would shoot over, staring daggers at the hero. He really did show up huh? Good for him, he was sure Auden would be ecstatic to see him. Felix on the other hand? He didn't want to see his face around Auden until he knew he was a good guy. "He's fine, by the way. Only seemed to tear up his intestines to the point that he has only been able to have liquids for the next few weeks. The medicine and surgery weren't as successful as they should be- I chalk it up that his body is so used to self-healing with his flames that it isn't used to anything else." He'd pause, pain in his face. "He could have died, Alexandrei... Why didn't you protect him more? He's my only family." He'd look at the hero's face- the face that he knew Alexandrei cared so much about, and try his best to stay composed.

He's not happy. That's an understatement. Felix looks like he's about to rip Alexandrei a new one.[break][break]

Alexandrei supposes he should have asked about Auden, but given Felix's current temperament, he doesn't want to overstep his boundaries. Auden and Felix are siblings— they're far more bonded than him and Auden are, and to the astronomer it looked like he was entirely unwanted here. Should he just leave? He wants to see Auden, but not if it would do more good than bad. He frowns slightly as Felix continues to list off more of their misforgivings; what he should have done, what he should have done better. Why Auden shouldn't be here.[break][break]

Why is he here? Why didn't he protect him more? Logically, the only thing Alexandrei can say is, "I was thinking."[break][break]

Because that's what he was doing. Thinking.[break][break]

That was how his panic attack had appeared to him. Alexandrei merely thought he was being dragged into the recesses of his quirk once more, an event that would make him forget about what had happened in the past month, maybe even more, something that was so nonchalant and normal to him that it didn't appear wrong. He truly didn't see anything amiss there, as awful as it was. His abnormal was his normal. His "thinking" had gotten in the way of his normal alertness, as it always did.

Felix

Felix gawked at that answer, his mouth opening so loud that it sounded like his jaw may pop off. He was thinking? Alexandrei was fucking thinking? "What?" His voice boomed out, causing some of the workers to look over to them in shock. "My brother almost died because you were thinking?" The man pushed himself off of the wall, getting close to Alexandrei. Before he could realize how mad Auden would get, he'd raise his hand and slap Alexandrei straight across the face. The slap was so violent and loud that whoever wasn't staring yet were staring now, giving hushed gasps and whispers of dialogue.

"You're telling me my brother, the person that cares for you so much- because you were thinking?" Felix didn't regret the slap, the numb feeling on his hand making him think of the lengths he would go to protect his brother. "Why the fuck would he want to be with someone that doesn't even protect him?" He'd say that under his breath, his gaze going to the side as just looking at Alexandrei made him want to slap him again. "If Auden hadn't survived this, I would have killed you." Felix had no remorse saying these words, because anyone that ended the life of someone so tortured, someone that longed for someone to love, deserved to die.

With a few looks from staff, Felix would sigh and put his hands in his pockets. "... He just woke up this morning. I'll give you five minutes so I can cool off." Without another word, Felix would move to walk outside to the entrance of the hospital, leaving Alexandrei free to go and visit him.

Oh, how his misuse of words got him so frequently in trouble. He supposes he deserves that. [break][break]

It stings. It's the most he's felt since Auden got injured. He simply turns to listen to Felix as he berates Alexandrei, feeling the burning stare of the medical staff nearby, shock evident on their faces. He can take being shouted at, but he would much rather not start a fight in here where they could both be thrown out, and with Auden left alone, he would be vulnerable. Felix mutters under his breath and the astronomer stares after him as he moves aside, him not saying anything in response. He can't bring himself to.[break][break]

Auden was hurt because of him. He deserves more than just a slap on the cheek.[break][break]

Felix's words ring in his head as he opens the door to Auden's room. Obviously, from what Felix had said and Auden's actions, it was clear that Auden did indeed seem to value him for reasons he didn't understand— and he wasn't sure if he ever would. What had he ever done to deserve a friend like Auden? He was hardly the most eye-catching person, he was hardly the most emotive, or talkative. He was a bare slate to be written upon however anyone else desired. He truly, truly doesn't understand anything. At all.[break][break]

Alexandrei pulls up a chair from the nearby table to sit beside Auden, taking in the phoenix's weakened form. Felix has said the recovery process was going far slower than he would have liked, and Alexandrei can see why. He sighs through his nose. He's failed completely on two parameters; as a friend, and as a faculty of their university. How is he supposed to come back from this? He's already received an earful from the other staff, but they know not everyone has a sixth sense like an owl's alertness— he was ultimately pardoned due to that fact. But new people look down on him.[break][break]

"Auden." His own voice unwillingly distracts himself from his voice. He doesn't say anymore to try and get Auden's attention. If Auden wants to talk to Alexandrei, it's up to him.

Auden

He would hear the sound of Felix's raised voice outside of his room. If he knew it wouldn't hurt, he would have chuckled a bit at how protective Felix was of him. He wasn't sure what the other voice he heard was, whether it was the sound of something falling over, or someone getting hit. Auden's eyes were fixated at the window as Agnis was proudly looking outwards to see a few birds flying past the hospital. "Sorry you can't be out there with them." He wondered sometime if Agnis would have preferred to be free, or to have friends, but every time he tried to let him go the little guy came back. Perhaps that's what it meant to have unconditional love for something.

As he heard someone enter, he could tell by their presence that it wasn't Felix. His heart skipped a beat, realizing that the only other person that would come to see him would be Alexandrei. With his throat feeling tight, he would slowly turn his head to look over to Alexandrei. Oh, his cheek was bright red- had Felix slapped him? Before he could even make out words for himself, Auden's cheeks became wet the second he laid eyes on him. If allowed, Auden would grab onto Alexandrei's hand and nuzzle it against his cheek, eternally grateful that he was okay.

"You're okay, thank goodness." Tears would stream onto Alexandrei's hand as Auden kept rubbing it on his cheek. "I was so worried that something happened to you." The events leading up to him waking up in the hospital were still a bit fuzzy for him, after all. Looking back to the star gazer's face once more, he'd loosen his grip on his hand and motion to the redness on his cheek. "Did my brother do that to you?" A frown would form on his brow, but the formation of any permanent lines from it wouldn't happen. "He's... Protective." A pause, knowing that Alexandrei was probably a bit conflicted on his emotions, if that was even possible. "You did nothing wrong, okay? I chose to save you, and you saved me right back. He just doesn't understand that." With a blush on his own cheeks, he would realize that he had been keeping Alexandrei's hand hostage. "Sorry I... I missed you." And your touch.

His mouth opens slightly at Auden's actions, clear evidence of Alexandrei's surprise, but he ultimately does nothing to stop the phoenix from... doing whatever he was to his hand. Whatever made him feel better. Eventually he does pull away, but only to hold onto Auden's hand. Auden had seemed to had like that before in the brief time they'd had together before he had gotten stabbed. Alexandrei's gaze drifts away from his. He still feels guilt for letting what happened, happen. [break][break]

"I feel like you should be more worried about yourself," he says gruffly. "Felix said you weren't healing as fast as you should be."[break][break]

There's a pang of something in his stomach as he hardens his resolve and drags his eyes back to Auden's. It's not the guilt he's solemnly familiar with— it's something else. He feels... alert when he's looking at Auden. What is that supposed to be? He's not entirely sure. "At least you have someone looking after you," Alexandrei says. It's obvious Alexandrei feels nothing malicious towards Felix after the latter hitting him. "clearly I wasn't quick enough to realise what was going on. If he had been there instead of me, then this wouldn't have happened."[break][break]

Though his voice is solid and unwavering, his eyes dart away from Auden's again. He wants to look, but anywhere at Auden. Guilt was like a spider crawling its way up his spine with icy-cold feelers, making him unsure of himself. It's about the only emotion he can fully recognise— after all, he's completely riddled with it from killing both his twin brother and nephew. "At the very least, I deserve more than a slap for what I did to you and said to Felix."

Auden

Auden had a hard time worrying over himself. He forgot that he wasn't supposed to be some selfless though anymore, and that he should actually care for his well-being since he has things in his life that he cared about now. Having friends at school, his brother, Agnis, and Alexandrei made him realize that he couldn't be as reckless. "Sorry." Looking down to his body, he was confused as to why he wasn't healing as fast. If regular medicine wasn't as helpful to him, that would be something he hadn't realized until now. "I just... I don't remember everything that happened clearly so I was worried about your safety since Felix refused to talk to me about you." He'd thought the worst, and that somehow Alexandrei had perished or gotten kidnapped in the exchange.

He'd smile at the mention of Felix looking after him. "He always has, maybe a bit too closely." He was sure that he would be watching out for him even when they got older. "He knows that I'm vulenerable... Even though I can protect myself just fine, I get i into dangerous situations pretty easily. Sometimes fans don't see you as an actual person."

Auden would shake his head. "No, it would have. I would have jumped in front of Felix just like I had for you. I wanted to protect you, because you're someone that matters to me." Should someone of his size and stature really be trying to take hits for others? That was debatable, but Auden wanted to do everything in his power to show that he was capable and reliable. "It's not your fault, I promise."

Squeezing his hand, Auden would try to meet his gaze only to frown when he realized that it wasn't being met. "What do you feel is a good punishment for what happened? If you hadn't been there at all, I would have died." He said coldly, but he doubted that he would have gotten the help he needed, or be safe to pass out if it hadn't been for Alexandrei. "If you want to be punished, just let me know how." With his thumb rubbing the back of Alexandrei's hand, he'd slowly let off his blue flames and idly try to heal the pain that he kept. Raising a brow though, he'd look to him in confusion. "What did you say to my brother?"

He understands Felix not wanting to talk about him, but Alexandrei frowns when Auden mentions his worry. Surely he could have mentioned that nothing had happened to Alexandrei? Felix should have at least said that much even if he did have his "opinions" about the astronomer. "The public was ever inconsiderate of other people's plight," Alexandrei says. "they merely took photos of the event before I blocked them off and the paramedics showed up. They did not let me come with you." [break][break]

As he listens to Auden speak, his eyes close, tense shoulders relaxing somewhat. He seems to take what Auden says to heart and the fangs of his bad conscious lessen their grip on his heart slightly, though he opens them again in confusion as the phoenix finishes. "What do you mean punish?" He replies, brows furrowing. "If anything, I should have been fired from UAU in my negligence."[break][break]

He dips his head. What did he say to Felix? What he thought was appropriate, simply because it was the truth, but evident by the way his face still stung it was the wrong thing to say. Maybe talking with Auden will clear it up. "Why I let this happen. I said 'I was thinking', because truthfully, that's what I was doing. After you mentioned what an ideal partner was..." He swallows. "... I could not help but think of my brother, from a long time ago. He and I spent every waking moment together before he passed. When I thought of him, I felt as though I was being dragged into the deep ocean, an abyss I couldn't wake up from."[break][break]

His other hand raises to his forehead subconsciously, a movement he doesn't realise he's done until he feels his own fingers dig into his skin. "Everything around me disappeared. Everyone. I couldn't find you, so I reached out to you. And that... monster attacked you after that, taking advantage of both of us."[break][break]

A slight tremor wavers his voice.

Auden

"They're just fans after all. None of them know of me actually, and if they do they shouldn't be acting that way." He kept his past a secret from his current life, as he didn't want to have what he had gone through to be a driving factor for him to be treated differently. "Most don't actually see me as a person, but instead just see me like this... Thing. I'm just an object to them, and even to some of my past lovers." Auden wouldn't hide his past or be dishonest with Alexandrei about it. "I'm sorry they didn't let you come with me. Your presence would have soothed me a lot." Out of all the people he knew, Alexandrei was one of the only ones that could calm him down, even though that seemed a bit hypocritical with how nervous he got.

At the mention of him getting fired, Auden shook his head. "I was only saying that because you seemed dissatisfied with what the end result of this was. I don't want to punish you, nor will I let UAU fire you. I'd rather quit going than to see you get fired for legit helping me. Just because I was dumb and walked in front of you doesn't mean you're a bad teacher. You're not even my teacher." He grumbled, upset that Alexandrei thought so low of himself and his right to be a teacher.

He'd frown to listen to his explanation. Auden squeezed his hand for reassurance, letting the star gazer know that he was there. "Losing a loved one can do that to you." He'd think of his sister, and how he tried not to dwell on the fact that he hadn't been able to save her from dying. "It fills you with a dread that is hard to shake off, and makes everything but them just not matter." He didn't want to make it about himself in those moments, so he could know that Auden was actually listening to him and not just trying to turn the conversation about himself. "I'm sorry you felt that way, especially when I was right there." It seemed that Auden was the one that didn't notice or act accordingly.

"I'm here now, okay? I won't leave you alone again." A pause, looking over his half-covered face. "I won't let you sink again. I promise." It was a big ask for Auden to do, but if he hadn't been so distracted he may have noticed the signs of Alexandrei disassociating. Auden would grab his hand with both of his, pulling the man closer to him if he obliged. He'd place Alexandrei's hand on his chest, right above his heart. With the hero's hand being engulfed in his blue flames, he hoped that the feeling in his hand was strong enough to feel his heartbeat. "I'm alive because of you, and I'll make sure that both of us stay that way. This won't end in a tragedy." A soft smile came onto his lips as he held back tears. "Thanks for letting me know what was on your mind, it's hard to tell sometimes and I get scared."

Alexandrei could relate. With the way people crowded around Auden, searching for his affection only in a sexual sense, it reminded of how selfish he used to let the Hero Association be with him. When the wartime came along with quirks, people searched for vigilantes to fight back against the people who dared to abuse their quirks, people who would lay down their lives for others selflessly. He had been one of those people. And what had it gotten him? Two dead family members, a dead sister-in-law, and a lifetime of misery. [break][break]

An object to be molded how others saw fit. He didn't want that for Auden.[break][break]


He's so distracted by thinking again he hardly notices when Auden pulls Alexandrei in closer, causing him to snap back to reality and look sharply at the phoenix. For a moment, he had honestly thought that Auden might try and plunge a knife in him— he was a hero with eyes on his back for far too long. He still has those reflexes.[break][break]


Though, he noticeably calms down when Auden makes no move to do anything and keeps talking to him, and he's briefly reminded of the night they met on New Year's Eve. A million thoughts run through his mind in that moment, yet all he can say is "thank you" before closing his eyes again, sighing through his nose. It's like a week's worth of shadows are dispersed by the light coming from Auden's fire, taking note of his heartbeat. Eventually, he speaks up. "I suppose I should clear up my misunderstanding between your brother and I." He says. "Would he be fit to enter, or would that be too presumptuous of me to ask?"

Auden

He'd just hum a soft tune as he realized that Alexandrei was processing something for a moment. It's okay, you're safe to think here. He wouldn't interrupt whatever his mind was trying to decipher, and simply let it happen for him. It was only when he pulled him closer that he was jolted out of that trance-like state. Oops, he didn't mean for that, but perhaps Alexandrei was still scared that Auden wasn't truly reacting like he said he was going to over the situation.

The thank you was welcomed by Auden just nodding to him, tapping at his hand as he healed it. "Of course. I'm on your side." He didn't have to go into detail about what was worrying him so, but he hoped that one day he could pull the veil off from over Alexandrei's thoughts and emotions and let him feel okay again.

"If he does anything to you, I'll make him regret it." Auden said it with a smile, moving over and texting his brother to come in with his non-occupied hand. "He'll be on his way." Moving Alexandrei's hand up to his mouth, he'd kiss it once before letting the star gazer place it wherever he pleased; if he still held onto Auden, the phoenix would continue to heal him. On cue, Felix would swiftly enter into the room, closing the door behind him. Now was the time to talk.

Alexandrei thinks that Auden's tone towards his brother reminds him of his own relationship with his deceased brother. He remembers, after their vigilante days were over and Twin Eclipse was established, them bickering like— well, brothers would. They would have their disputes, angst in their heart and fragility in their minds, but were joint to the hip and valued each other more than they would anyone, or anything, else. If anything, with the way Felix reacted to him, he's worried that he might become between their relationship.[break][break]

He needs to clear the air, and do something about it before they start yelling at each other. But with Auden kissing his hand, Alexandrei staring at him, he feels as though no matter what he might say, something would set them off.[break][break]

The astronomer turns to meet Felix's eyes with his own, the moment between him and Auden gone and a complete look of placidity in his own azure-blue gaze unlike the tiniest tinge of softness that had been there prior. He makes no effort to move his hand, only keeping it there because Auden seemed intent on holding onto him, clearing his throat. "I feel as though we started off on the wrong foot, Felix." Alexandrei says carefully. "Please, tell me if I had said or done something offensive to you when we met."[break][break]

He doesn't get it himself. Only questions and answers will make him understand, and with the look of genuine curiousity on Alexandrei's face with no shadow of malice, it's clear what his intentions are.
