Logan half listened as his eyes were adverted to Wyatt rubbing his bruises, it must have been in pain. He tried his best to think back to what his nanny would do in such a case of pain, Logan had a black eye once, and she had given him a bag of ice.
"You should put some ice on that... it'll help." Logan wasn't 100% certain this was true, but it was something. |
"Oh..." Wyatt glanced down at his injuries. "I'll be fine. They don't hurt too much." His eyes looked dismal and empty again. He shifted slightly, unsure of what to do now. He was aware that they both wouldn't be able to focus on the project, not with everything that had happened.
|
Logan rolled his eyes, Wyatt was the type of person that clearly wouldn't help himself. He got up briskly and grabbed Wyatt by the hand pulling him out of his room. "Where's the kitchen?" he asked determined to do something about it now.
|
Wyatt blinked, surprised by the sudden movement. "Downstairs...to the left." He hadn't expected Logan to really care all that much, so all of this sudden caring was new and hard for him to take in. He would be flustered and puzzled for a while.
|
Logan had always been stubborn, and when he made up his mind up about something he wouldn't stop. He moved down the stairs quickly not removing his grip, and turned to the left. Without even asking he opened the fridge and inspected the freezer, there wasn't a whole lot to choose from, they didn't even have ice packs, although there was a bag of peas. "Frozen peas it is..." he said pulling them out of the freezer.
He now let go of Wyatt as he moved closer to him and placed the cold compress on the bruise, "Too cold?" he asked still gazing at the bruise on his arm. |
Wyatt had jumped, instinctively. He could be a bit frail when it came to cold. He was heavily bundled up in winter and rarely went outside--he grew sick very easily in the cold. He relaxed after a second or so, however. "No..." he replied, quietly, eyes fixed on the floor. He wasn't sure whether the cold felt good or not. It would take time.
He noticed that his little brother was nowhere in sight. Tzalmon often liked to pry into Wyatt's business, and when there was something 'scandalous' going on, he would be all over it. |
Logan was happy to see Wyatt relax just a bit, he now pulled Wyatt's free hand over to hold it for himself. "You'll need to keep it on for sometime... I'm not sure exactly how long, but it should help at least a bit." He stood back now, and realized that he just dragged Wyatt through his own house, "Sorry," he paced a little, "I didn't mean to just tromp through your house like that, sometimes I'm more determined than I should be."
A small grin escaped his lips, for some reason he felt more like being himself around Wyatt than anyone else. It was like he wasn't exactly as judgemental as other people, and maybe that was because of his own life. |
"It's all right," Wyatt assured him, as held the bag of peas to his arm. He felt awkward standing there and holding a bag of frozen peas, but anyone would. He sniffed slightly, looking around for his brother, still. He had a feeling Tzalmon had already noticed them running through the house.
He would harp on it all night. |
Logan knew that Wyatt wasn't a big talker to begin with, but he got a feeling that Wyatt was paranoid about something, but he wasn't sure really what was going on, so he became nosey again. "Everything okay?" he asked, Wyatt was acting very distant.
|
"I'm wondering where my brother fled off to. He makes it a hobby and habit of his to know everything I'm doing, everyone I'm associated with...everything and anything," Wyatt informed him, dryly. "It's quite a bad habit, though he means well. Keeping tabs on me is not the way to show me affection..."
|
Logan reasoned with Wyatt, he didn't know what it was like to have siblings in the slightest, "That's kind of odd... you'd think he'd have better things to do." it was a small joke, partly on the fact that he thought Wyatt might be a bit boring to follow around, "Unless you're hiding some really juicy secret that is highly intriguing." he raised an eyebrow. Logan would put it past Wyatt, he was mysterious after all.
|
"Juicy secret? Well, that's for him to decide." Being vague and mysterious once again. Wyatt just loved to make people wonder about him. He stared off into the distance for a moment. "Tzalmon is more isolated than even I am. He is home-schooled by a professional tutor. He's never attended a 'normal' school."
|
Logan was disappointed and cared less to hear about Wyatt's brother, he'd rather know what Wyatt was happening. His stubbornness showed through again, "So there is a secret..." the look in his eyes were devious, he had to get the truth out of him, it was going to eat away at him for a long time.
|
"I didn't say that." The look in Wyatt's eyes turned...kind of defensive, fearful. He did have a secret, but it was personal, and only Tzalmon knew. If his mother found out, well...he wouldn't be allowed in his own home any more. He would also be cut out of his inheritance, and would be kicked out into the streets, homeless with no money and no relatives living in the country.
|
Logan bit his lip, he really was catching onto something as he saw Wyatt react the way he did, "You are really horrible at lying you know..." Logan saw right through him, he looked at him in the eyes more determined, "It must be a big deal..." he said quietly. He wondered how he'd get Wyatt to tell, because it was now going to drive him nuts if he didn't know.
|
"It's personal," Wyatt explained, shortly, as he moved the peas to study his bruise. The swelling had gone down a bit, which he was relieved to see. Nonetheless, he placed it back on his bruise, hoping it would further alleviate the pain he had been feeling before and prevent it from returning.
((I think I'm gonna hit the hay early--I'm dyin' here. Night!)) |
(( no worries me too!))
Logan looked at him sarcastically, "More personal than what you've already told me... I think were kind of past that by now." he would still be persistent, and the more Wyatt rejected him, it made him want to know all the more. |
Wyatt finally decided upon putting the peas away. His arm was numb, and the pain was gone. Once he neatly placed them back in the freezer, he closed the freezer door and gave Logan a sideways glance. "You aren't tyrannically religious, are you?" he asked, bluntly. Like his mother was. If so, he simply wouldn't say anything.
|
Logan watched as Wyatt put away the frozen peas, clearly they had done their job for now. When Wyatt glanced at him and asked him such a question it made him laugh out loud, "God no." His family wasn't really religious by any means, even if they were, his parents would be too busy to ever go to church, or even think about religion for that matter. He leaned against the counter watching him, wondering what it possibly could be about
|
"I see. That is the only hint I will give you. Unfortunately...I hate talking about it, especially with people I am not that close with yet. Perhaps once we get to know each other more," Wyatt promised, quietly. "Should we work on our project, or save it for later?"
|
"You are such a tease!" Logan whined, he was sure Wyatt was just about to tell him, and now he changed his mind, he then looked to him with another determined look, "Well you know... I'll have a hard time concentrating... because this is going to drive me bonkers." Logan's voice was a little higher pitched as if he was teasing him, and urging him to tell him. He turned around and decided to walk in the opposite direction toward where his bedroom was.
|
Wyatt followed him, trotting along after him. He was of average height, but the way he slouched over made him look younger than he really was. It gave the two of them a mother and baby duck sort of look. "That is fine. We can always work another day."
|
Once they reached the staircase Logan turned around stopping in his tracks and he placed his hand on the opposing wall as to block Wyatt's path. "Well then why did you drag me all the way here... what did you want to do exactly?" Logan wasn't sure what they really had in common, or what they could do in the meantime, but he was relieved if only in the least bit that he didn't have to work on that silly assignment. But he didn't know if the later would be more interesting, but maybe Wyatt would tell him his secret if he stayed longer.
|
"I wanted to work. But seeing as you find yourself unable to concentrate, we can always wait until later, and do something else to pass the time," Wyatt reasoned, shrugging. He was starting to get hungry, though he would never let that show until his stomach decided it was time to show.
|
Logan sighed, "I asked you what you wanted to do, you don't have to get all snappy about it." He could tell Wyatt wasn't really up for his usual games, but it was the way he acted, he couldn't just turn it off for anybody at anytime. He rolled his eyes before moving up the stairs, not waiting for an answer.
