Hero vs Villain (O/O)

King heard movement outside of his little area. At first he figured it was just Void, but a second set of feet made him think otherwise. Of course there were other people living here. He figured best to let them have their privacy and went to the laptop to email his professors about his… situation.

Colby nods and sighs softly. "Alright. You can stay down here for a little while. As long as you promise to take it easy." He whispered. Pax nods and walls to the couch, settling into a nest of blankets and turning on the TV. Colby sighed and returned to his computer, tapping at the keys quickly.

King sent his last email and ran a hand through his hair. He found it disgustingly greasy. Before he took care of that he had to go through and delete the history of at the very least what he had done on the computer. Once that was done he shut the lid and got up off the bed. Void had said second door down. That was where he would be heading then. He left the room and looked around the hall taking everything in to appreciate it but to also see if there were any easy ways out.

It was quiet, lonely, and dark hallway. Filled with rooms that were empty and alone. Colby had lived in this huge manor alone, the only company being his brother. Colby didn't have people to depend on. He never did. He walks through the hallways quietly, humming to himself as he does so.

King stepped into the room and found the shower. He locked the door behind him before taking a shower. He scrubbed harshly at his body until it was a light red, before he finally stepped out and changed back into the clothes Void had originally provided. He quickly towel dried his hair before stepping out again his hair left as is. He wanted to explore, but figured it would be rude to do so if he didn't tell Void first.

Colby walked to his room and opened the door slowly. He sighed as he walked to his bed, falling onto it. He looks at the ceiling and rubbed his hands over his eyes. He was exhausted. He wasn't sure from mental drain or physical, but his body felt.like lead and his mind like mush.

King… Couldn't remember which way his room was. He looked back and forth and figured he could try each door. One was bound to work. It was two doors down on one side. He turned right and walked over to open the second door over.

Colby heard his door open and he looked up weakly from his bed. "Pax?" He asks curiously before noticing King. "Oh… Hello Crystalline. May I help you with something?" He asks, slowly sitting up from his bed.

"I forgot which way my room was," King admitted quietly. He silently observed Void and the room overall before asking, "Who is Pax? And, uh, are you doing okay?"

"I'm alright. Tired." He chuckles quietly, running a hand through his hair. "It's alright. And Pax is my little brother. He's downstairs. Would you like to meet him?" He asks curiously, a little smile on his lips as he walks towards the other and into the hallway.

"I would love too," King had a little smile on. It would probably be weird at first, but if he was going to hide out here for a while might as well talk to the other person living in the house. He moved so Void could lead the way, "And about you being tired, that was probably from me wasn't it?"

"No, no… Using my ability to the max exhausts my energy for a few days." He shrugs hopelessly. He walks down the stairs. "Pax?" He calls gently. The smaller male looks up from his nest of blankets. "Yeah?" He coughs softly. Coby sighs. "Have you taken your meds yet?"
"I couldn't reach the cabinet…" He replies softly. He nods a little and ruffles his hair gently. "Alright. Come on." He gently guides his brother to the kitchen. Pax glances at King. "Who… who's this? Did you invite someone without telling me again?" He asks
Colby flushed bright red. "Pax! I don't always do that! Just when people are hurt…" He sighed and looked down. "Ah- this is…" He paused. He didn't know King's real name.

"King," he said with a laugh at Void's flusteredness while figuring it couldn't hurt form them to just know his first name. The last name is where everything got tricky and legal and yuck. He figured Pax must be sick or of the likes considering how he was wrapped up in blankets and needed meds. King was also surprised to see Void acting this gentle, then again he shouldn't be that surprised, "I'm just crashing here for a few days."

Pax hummed. "Not the first time. Colby usually likes to let them in and usually, they stay, leave and Colby breaks down again."
"That's enough of you." Colby sighs, filling the med cup before looking at Pax. "Head up." He says quietly. Pax opens his mouth and tilts his head up. Colby pours the content down his throat."Okay… go back to bed… You need to let the meds sink in." He says quietly. Pax nods.

Colby, that must be Void’s name. He had never bothered to do research on his enemy’s personal life since King had only ever wanted to see him as a villain, that was going to be harder after this. His mind started to spiral back to last night and King quickly shook his head to stop it. He couldn’t do that right now. He looked at the pair and realized Colby was sending Pax back to bed, guess he missed his chance to talk.

Pax shook his head. "No… Colby please… I want to stay downstairs… I never get to see you anymore…" He mutters softly. Colby sighed and nods, "Alright. As long as you promise you take it easy."
Pax nods eagerly, "Thank you, Colby." he mutters as he hugs his brother. Colby smiled softly before nodding. "Go hang out on the couch." He mutters softly. Pax scurries off before Colby smiles weakly. "So. Would you like some water." He asks curiously. "Do you need anything at all?"

"Water would be nice," King responded to Colby though seeing his strained smile. He was going to maybe tease him like he typically did in these situations, but opted for much kinder words, "You care for your brother a lot, don't you?

Colby nods a little. "Water it is." He grabs a glass and looks down. "Y-yeah… He's all I've got…" He mutters softly. "He's been sick since he was little… But he's getting better." He ran a hand through his hair. "Just a few more years of medication and he'll be healed up…" He sighed and looked down.

"That's good," King said as he ran a hand through his hair thinking about his own family issues. He was pleasantly surprised to find it had dry and was now back to it's soft and fluffy normalness. Yes, he liked his hair soft and fluffy. He gave Colby a smile, "I'm glad for him."

"Yeah." He mutters softly, his eyes shutting as he took a deep breath. He hands King his water. "There." He smiled a little bit before guiding him back into the living room.

King was watching Colby carefully, but followed him into the living room. He looked around seeing that the house Colby was in was quite large so the man was doing well for himself rather than King who half lived off Ramen, "So, your names Colby?"

"Yes, Colby." He chuckles softly. "It's on my birth certificate." he laughs. He settles on the couch and Pax looks up from his nest. "Can we watch a movie?" He asks sleepily. He nods and hands the other the remote. "Go for it." he leans into the couch and grunts quietly.

King didn't feel it would be right to intrude on the couch so he sat on the armrest used to being a bit of a third wheel for this kind of stuff. It's how he was able to slip away so easily to get to wherever he needed to be as Crystalline. He gave them a smile and laugh, "Well, Colby's a better name than King."

"I like King. It's regal." he chuckles before sighing softly and rubbing his head. He felt a migraine coming, and he didn't want to deal with it. He sighed and shuts his eyes. He was exhausted.

King saw that Colby was in some amount of pain and probably still tired. He wanted to repay the villain for the kindness he had given King, "You could go sleep or something. I can watch your brother."

"No, no. It's alright." He mutters softly. The last time he had left Pax alone, Pax had been used as a ticket, a trading card. That's how he became this. This… monster. A man who destroyed buildings, destroyed people, he was this now.

"Okay," King responded looking at him a bit warily. He wasn't going to disrespect Colby's decision, he just wondered what the thought process behind it was. Considering how close the two brothers were and how much Colby cared for Pax it was very well possible that Colby was worried King would do something to his brother. This could stem from a past experience in which Colby left Pax alone with someone and his brother ended up getting hurt or used as blackmail. This could also explain why Colby was such a nice person, yet he had to play the part of the villain Void. No stop. You don't need to analyze the situation.

Colby shut his eyes and sighed quietly before Pax moved to nuzzle into Colby's side. He smiled a little bit as he ran his hand through Pax's hair. "Go ahead and rest, Pax…" He mumbles. Pax nods as he watches the movie. He glances over at King and smiles warmly. "You should join us on the couch."

"Are you sure?" King asked broken out of his thoughts. He hesitated before sitting down next to Colby on the free end. King gave him a little smile even though he still wasn't sure this was okay "Okay. You have a nice house if I haven't said that already. Better than my apartment."

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't mean it." Pax mutters softly, a little smile growing on his lips. Colby chuckles, "It's been in my family for ages…" He mumbles. Pax nods before looking at King. "Colby never gets out much, he's usually exhausted when he comes home…" Pax mumbles as he watches Colby doze.
