(ALIK) but never you.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri yanked on the chains around his wrists. Out of control and angry, he'd tried to kill another patient. They'd cuffed him to the bars, hoping to calm him. But it did nothing but make him far angrier. "Bring him to me! Bring me my brother!" He screamed, tugging on the chains again. His wrists bled from the metal digging into them. "Bring me Alik! I have no patience for this!"

[alik marai romonov]

Alik rubbed at his face, eyeing the gash that had healed most of the way over his stomach. This healing thing was exhausting though. He could hear his brother screaming form here, and the staff must have finally had enough of him trying to kill people and realized how his mood changed with Alik around, because they were soon hauling him from the floor of his cell. He walked with them warily, looking up when they reached Zakk's cell. "I wanna leave.." He mumbled brokenly. "Or at least take a walk with him...please..."

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

"He can't leave. He's being punished for hurting people." A nurse said, screaming as Zakk'ri made a grab for her.

"You let me go with my brother!" He screamed, tugging on the bars again. The nurse seemed to catch sight of his bloody wrists and gagged, quickly walking towards the door. "Alik.. Did they hurt you?" He asked quietly, looking up at him from the floor. "Please.. Tell me you're okay."

[alik marai romonov]

Alik's jaw trembled as he watched him, reaching through the bars desperately. "Mm okay.." He whispered, though he was shirtless and sleepy. He looked around, then scampered after the nurse and snatched her keys, darting away. He unlocked the cell, but couldn't figure out the chains, so he just locked himself in with his brother, and planned on throwing a fit if they dared try and get him out. He planted himself on the floor next to Zakk'ri, reaching for his brother's hands and swallowing when he found his wrists slick with blood. "You're hurt Zakk..." He complained, voice cracking as he squirmed into his brother's lap.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri watched his brother, glad to at least be able to see him. He hated being away from his little brother. His brother was all he had to keep him at least tolerable. He'd never been sane, so he very well couldn't claim it. He tried to pull his hands from the cells to hold his brother, but he couldn't. "You're here. I'm fine." He breathed, nuzzling his neck gently since he couldn't hug him. "Whered they hurt you?" He asked. He could faintly remember kissing his brother's scrapes when he'd been little, trying to mimic their mother caring for him.

[alik marai romonov]

"My stomach.. It's okay, it's going away.." But it didn't take away the hurt. He wrapped his arms around Zakk'ri, nuzzling up tp him. "I wish they'd let you go...at least when you're with me.." He whispered softly. He jumped as somebody threw themselves against the bars of a cell with a screech, and buried his face in Zakk'ri's neck. "I don't like it here.." If he couldn't leave this place, he at least wanted to be out on the grounds. He reached though the bars for the keys that had fallen, yelping as a blade cut across his arm. Still he snatched them and drew back, glaring up at the staff with a trembling lip. Tryingto ignore it, he started working on the cuffs. But it was either bleed or heal, and either way seemed exhausting.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

"They aren't gonna let us go.. I hurt someone." Zakk said quietly. He kissed his neck when he said he didn't like it here. No one wanted to be here. It was a horrible place to be, even for him. And he was pretty much every doctor and nurse around here's nightmare. Zakk glared at whoever had hurt him, ready to kill them the minute he was let out of here. He was glad when Alik got his cuffs undone. He reached up, gently stroking his cheek. He gently wrapped his arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Its okay. I'm never gonna let you go, brother." He breathed, kissing his temple gently.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik dropped the keys once he got the metal cuffs off, and he buried his face again, hugging his brother tight. He didn't say anything in response because he wasn't sure what needed to be said, only that he was glad he was here with Zakk again. The gash on his arm hurt, and he focused on letting it start to heal, trembling.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk slowly ran his hand over his brother's back, hugging him as close as he possibly could. If there's one thing he loved, it was having his little brother there with him. He adored the boy. Zakk'ri reached down, gently bringing Alik's arm to his lips. He gave his gash a soft cut, then pressed a kiss to the top of his head. "Close your eyes, little one. Just relax." He said quietly, rubbing his back gently again.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik did as he was told, swallowing. Then he slipped a key into Zakk'ri's hand. as somebody spoke his name and said he needed to go with them, or would be punished severely. "I'll find you." He smiled faintly, figuring it wouldn't be too terribly hard to guess where his brother was.
Alik had always been an escape artist. He allowed the staff to take him, looking back at Zakk'ri a last time before he was tugged down the corridor.

He swallowed when they rounded the corner and headed towards the cellar, tugging helplessly in their grips. They passed Kira, who paused and watched warily before Alik was pushed through the door and it shut. He was handcuffed and shoved to his knees, yelping as he was struck.
"I'm sorry.." He sobbed. "Don't hurt me.."


Kira had paused to watch them haul Alik down, figured he would go grab him after Zakk was out. Alik had insisted this be what happened. He shouted something, distracting the last two staff members watching over the holding cells so Zakk'ri could book it out of the hospital.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri ran his fingers through his brother's hair, narrowing his eyes as someone came to get him. He didn't want to let him go, but took the key from him. Maybe Alik could meet him. "I love you.." He mumbled as his brother left. A nurse came towards him, trying to cuff him again. He grabbed her by the head, slamming it into the wall. He stumbled around the corner of the cell doors, running towards the doors. He fumbled with the door, finally opening it before he ran to the doors leading outside.

'Please let Alik catch up..' He pleaded silently, shoving people aside as he ran. He watched a familiar blue eyed boy quickly run away, clearly terrified. Where was he supposed to go? He didn't know. They'd eventually find him. He found a ladder, climbing up onto a roof. He jumped from one to the next, praying he would be found by his brothers.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik gasped as he curled up on the floor, blood pouring from several gashes, smudged over his chin from a busted lip. He wrapped an arm around his ribs, eyes half open, the beating having left him near unconscious. He didn't even react as the door opened again. But then Kira was there, shaking him gently and pulling away rags of his jeans before lifting him in his arms. The smallest of cuts had healed but the task flwas still exhausting.

Soon enough the were out of the hospital and Kira managed to climb onto a roof without dropping Alik. Alik whimpered softly as Kira waved Zakk'ri over and set him down.
He curled up again, trembling, struggling to try and heal himself without passing out.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri was wandering the roofs quietly, hoping time would pass a little faster. He wanted his brother, wanted to hold him and make it all okay. He just wanted things to be back the way they were before he accidentally got both his siblings into this. He felt bad occasionally, like now. When his little brother was in there being hurt.

He saw someone climb up on the roof, and quickly ran over when he realized it was Kira with Alik. His eyes darkened when he saw just how hurt his brother was. He knelt down beside him, hugging the little boy close. "I got you, Alik.." He breathed, gently running his hands through his hair. He kissed his forehead gently, holding his brother to his chest. "No one's gonna hurt you now."

[alik marai romonov]

Kira watched helplessly as he watched them. Alik whimpered deep in his throat, grabbing for Zakk'ri's shirt and pulling himself closer. Where Kira had torn his jeans away, bloody shins where revealed. Most of the bleeding had slowed down, but everything still hurt terribly. He tried to fight off the sting of tears but they still began to fall.
Alik had known the risks of breaking his brother out of the cell. But he had wanted to be with him so bad...
He just hadn't thought about it being too hard for everything to heal, especially so tired from being forced to do so all yesterday with their tests.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri's stomach turned when he heard his brother whimper, and to his dismay, it wasn't a feeling of queasiness. 'Oh, fuck me..' He thought bitterly, holding his brother a little closer. He slowly ran his hand through his hair, glancing back at Kira. "Is he gonna die?" He choked, tightening his arms around him. He choked back tears, pressing his hand to one of his wounds. He'd never seen his brother so hurt, and there being nothing he could do about it. It horrified Zakk'ri more than he cared to admit.
