[ALIK] you fucking make me sick.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri looked around at the people in the cafeteria with him. He was starting to wonder if one of them might taste better than the food they were feeding him. 'What would you like, Zachary?' His nurse asked him, and his eyes darkened.

"My fucking name is Zakk'ri. Zakk. Ri. Are you that incompetent you can't pronounce a two syllable name?" He asked her. But she only repeated her question. He lost it. He leaped at her, knocking her to the ground. He brought his hands over his head, about to drive them down into her face when he was hauled off by another nurse. "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" He screamed, swinging the chains on his handcuffs around her neck. He smirked, watching the first nurse run off. He grabbed the second nurse's head, driving it into the wall before he walked out of the serving line, making his way to Alik's table.

"How do you eat that?" He asked, sitting down next to the smaller boy like he hadn't just smashed someone's skull in.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik flinched as he watched his brother beat the two nurse in line. He looked away, poking halfheartedly at his food, listening despite himself.
'Don't listen, Alik. There's nothing you can do.'
But he wanted to, so bad... Wanted his brother to be allowed to walk around Chaspel Heights with him, not always in handcuffs. He would ask them, if he weren't so afraid of them. Considering his own ability, testing it meant being cut or hit, to see how fast things could heal. He hated it so much.

He raised his head as Zakk sat down next to him.
'Don't let him see your arm, Alik.'
Alik was careful not to let him, a deep cut that had not healed all the way. He hadn't been here long, and his healing was still leaving bruises and marks.
"I dunno.. Better than nothing." He reached out, fingers curling around the chain from the handcuffs, not wishing for his brother to leave. He felt so much safer with him here.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

"You eat, okay? I'm not going to leave." Zakk'ri told his little brother gently, carefully slipping his arms over the boy's head and down around his waist to hug him close. He hated not being able to be with his brother just as much as his brother hated it. But he knew there was nothing they could do about it. Zakk'ri was entirely too violent, and there was no controlling him. Even handcuffs didn't keep him from killing.

"If I don't let you go, you think they'll let me take you back to my room?" He asked him quietly, his face in his brother's neck. He missed sleeping next to the littler male so much. He'd gotten used to it, always having him close. "I remember when you were a tiny baby and mum brought you home. And I told her she couldn't keep you cause I was." He told him, closing his eyes.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik scooted closer to his brother, wondering where Kira was. Honestly he was content with only Zakk right now, though. "Mm..maybe. 'Specially if I ask, hm?" he tilted his head, finishing his pizza and reaching for his glass of water to take a sip before bringing it to his brother's lips with a smile. "Mum always listened to you more.." But even with her gone, he hadn't been able to escape abuse forever. Whether it be people poking fun or not. And now, here, it was the cellar. And it was miserable.

He didn't want to tell his brother that being nicer might allow them to see each other more. Even at age seventeen, Alik couldn't help his separation anxiety. He drew a leg up into his seat, finishing the last of his food before looking around at the others, the people fussing over the nurse on the ground. He had grown used to the violence, but coming from his brother, it didn't scare him. Maybe nobody could understand that, but he doubted Zakk'ri would ever hurt him.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri shrugged, playing with the end of his brother's shirt. "I dunno. They never listen to me here. You think they would. And they know I won't hurt you. Maybe Kira. But never you." He looked back at the nurses, then laid his head on his brother's shoulder again, shaking his head at the glass. He didn't trust anyone not to drown him. "It's not that she listened to me. It's that I wouldn't let her have you. You were almost as big as me and I still toted you around everywhere."

He was getting antsy, but he didn't want to let go of his little brother. He didn't know if they would let him come to lunch tomorrow after what he'd done today. "Are they hurting you?" He asked, looking for Kira before he looked back up at Alik. "I'll kill them if they're hurting you. You're mine." He said, shifting his weight a bit. Sometimes he wondered if what he felt for his brother was more than just sibling love. It almost scared him, but he usually just pushed the thoughts away. That was absurd, right?

[alik marai romonov]

Alik set his glass down, smiling at the comment about that. They were only two years apart. Alik had always been a bit smaller built. Then again, he'd always been different. The next question had him biting his lip.
'Don't tell him, Alik.'
But Alik didn't want to lie.. "You don't have to kill anyone, Zakk.." He mumbled softly. He couldn't lie, so he just didn't say anything. Because they were hurting him. And he had marks to prove it. If he could keep them hidden until they could heal better on their own, maybe Zakk wouldn't notice. And if he needed him to, Alik hoped to eventually be able to control the healing. He reached up to play with his brother's hair. "I've always been yours, don't worry..."
Eyes followed Kira starting in through the door and he waved him over. The other male rose an eyebrow.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri listened to his brother speak, though he didn't believe him. He knew if he ever found out who was hurting his brother, they would cease to exist. He didn't care who he had to hurt. This was Alik they were talking about. "Oh?" He chuckled, slowly twisting Alik's shirt around his finger. Zakk glanced up as his twin walked over, raising an eyebrow in return. He pulled Alik closer to him defensively.

"What are you looking at?" He asked, sitting up a little straighter. If he had to, he would fight his own twin for Alik. Sometimes even he didn't understand why he was so fond of the younger boy. All Zakk could think was that he had always been amazed watching him grow.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik bit his lip. Kira just smirked and shrugged, dragging a chair over and sitting on it backwards. The mess you made. Always pissing people off huh?" But he was too, so it didn't even matter.
Alik just curled up against Zakk'ri with a smile, reaching to play with his fingers. "Relax Zakk.." He mumbled softly, frowning a bit. Sometimes it did worry him how easily his brother got upset.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk smirked as his twin spoke, slowly running his finger over his brother's palm. "When have you ever known me not to make a mess? Alik's the only Russian ever who doesn't have some sort of murder charge on his record." He teased, laying his head back on Alik's shoulder. He did as his brother told, slowly relaxing against him. "You have no room to talk though, Kira. You're almost as bad as me. Though I doubt they've called you 'the world's only cross between Hannibal Lecter and The Hulk'." He said, making air quotes before he took Alik's hands back into his own.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik scoffed and Kira just chuckled. "Mm, true. Sorry I'm a hypocrite." The shorter of the two twin stuck his tongue out and Alik shook his head. "I guess the name fits," He teased Zakk gently, smiling at him before taking his hand tightly again.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri couldn't help but laugh, shifting his weight a bit. He always got antsy when he had to sit for too long. "Yeah, well." He squeezed Alik's hand gently, closing his eyes again. He gritted his teeth when he heard someone laugh, looking back to see a boy at least twice his size laughing and snickering, pointing at them as he walked past. Zakk'ri pulled his arms over Alik's head, grabbing for the guy's throat. "I'M GONNA SHOW YOU WHO'S A FUCKING FAGGOT, YOU PRICK!" He screamed, set off just as fast as he'd been calmed by Alik. He wrestled the guy to the ground, doing a pretty impressive job considering he was handcuffed and far smaller. He snatched a napkin dispenser off the table, inches away from the guy's face when the coroner hauled him off.

"Touch me. I fucking dare you." Deacon spat, shoving him up against the wall. Zakk'ri glared, taking it as a challenge as he lunged for the older male.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik drew in a breath, watching him go, and frowned. Kira glared at the male who had been poking fun, ready to beat him for setting Zakk'ri off again.
'Do something.'
'No are you crazy? You want him getting punished to?'
'He already does. Aren't you going to help your brothers?'
Alik whimpered. It wasn't often it got too much to handle. He curled up on the seat, bringing his hands to his head with quick breaths, trying to stop the screaming within.

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri knew better than anyone that no one was going to come to the coroner's defense. No one really liked the guy who deals with dead people. He grabbed for Deacon's throat, wheezing as the older male tackled him to the table. "Learn your fucking place." Deacon muttered, holding his arms down. Zakk'ri glared at him, obviously ready to kill him if he hadn't been pinned down.

"I'll kill you." Zakk'ri spat, glaring up at Deacon. But the coroner seemed unphased by the words, just ready to leave and get back to work.

[alik marai romonov]

Alik tugged at his hair, not ableto focus on what was going on around him anymore even as the coroner's assisstant came in to pull the two apart. Kira had knocked the original offender out and had pulled him onto a table and fully undressed him, leaving him there. "Alik?"
His brother was approaching again and Alik shrank back, eyes closed and uncertain who it was.
'Just going to cowar?'
'Are we too much to handle?'
'Leave the boy alone!'

[zakk'ri jon romonov]

Zakk'ri ran towards his brother, kneeling down behind him. "Alik.." He looked up as the all too familiar guards came through the doors, obviously looking for him. "Alik, get up.. Please.. Come with me.." He pleaded, hell bent on running. He didn't know where he'd go, but he didn't want to leave Alik behind either. "Please.. They're gonna spot us in a second.." He mumbled, reaching up to run his fingers through the smaller boy's hair.
