He swiftly firmed his head away from he sight in from of him.

"Why did you want me to see this?" The raven strained through his gritted teeth.

"I thought you would have wanted to see them." The smirk in Glen's voice was impossible to ignore.

The many personalities that made up his master's being would usually do sick things for their own amusement. But not this. Never this.

The blood.

"Look at him."

All the cuts and scrapes.

"You'll have to look sooner or later."

The eyes wide in a state of frozen shock.

"You love him, don't you? So you should look at him."

Sea green eyes. Golden bode hair...

Gilbert's head jerked around to rest his eyes on the scene before him.

Oz...

"Is... is he dead?" The taller male asked, dreading the answer.

"No." Was the simple answer he received. "But I did call you here for a reason." Glen turned away from Oz's body to face Gilbert. "I want you to be the one who cares for the boy-"

"Why?" The older male cut in.

"Would you trust anyone else to do it?" Glen asked him. At that Gilbert shut his mouth, accepting his task in silence. "Good. I'll have him brought to one of the guest rooms."

After about an hour of attempting to process the situation, and explaining everything to Charlotte, the raven haired male began making his way towards the guest room where Oz was resting.

When he got inside the room, he immediately noticed that Oz had not had and of his injuries treated and there were medical supplies by the bed.

The older male sighed in frustration and made a move to pick up a cloth to clear some of the blood from his wounds. Dripping a little rubbing alcohol onto the cloth before reaching to dab a scrape on the younger's forehead. Oz's seemingly lifeless figure twitched a little at the contact.

While disinfecting the wound, the older male took the chance to study the boy's features. His eyes drifted from his task to the blondes closed eyes, his long golden eyelashes that swept his cheek as he slept.

He didn't know when it happened, but he had dropped the cloth and buried his hand in Oz's soft, golden hair. He stared down at the boy's pouty lips. All the memories came rushing back at the sight of them. At the sight of him...

'No' He thought to himself. 'I can't do anything to him while he's unconscious...' The raven tried to finish his task as quickly as possible, but it was almost impossible to ignore that Oz was back. All he wanted to do was hold the blonde, and never let him go again.

Never again...

Never lose him again...

He was pulled from his thoughts by a light cough. He turned his head to see Charlotte standing in the doorway.

"Charlotte..?"

"I came to see how you were doing."She lowered her gaze to Oz's unconscious figure. "I can leave if you want me to..."

"No!" He dropped the soaked rag and turned to face her. "No, you don't have to." She still seemed hesitant to stay, as though she felt like she was intruding on his reunion, and I suppose, in a way, she was.

No words were exchanged. But, in the silence, everything was made clear. They were over, now that he was back.

It's not like she ever thought that he loved her, but over time she had grown attached to him. It was painful. Having her position torn away so easily.

Had she been alone, she may have cried. But if he was not going to show her any emotion, she would do the same for him... but it still hurt. A lot.

The pain left an empty socket... where her heart had been.

'He might still pay attention to you' She thought to herself. 'At least until he wakes up...'

She allowed herself a passing glance at the sleeping boy. Porcelain skin, fair hair... but, most importantly, he was the one who held his affections.

In her more childish years, she would have seen him as a sort of rival. And maybe even tried to steal Gilbert away from him...

But, she could never do that now.

She had become a face lost in the bedsheets of so many men. Who had all systematically ripped away her pride, dignity and any form of self respect she ever had. She gave herself to do many who she had loved. Who she thought loved her.

It's just the same this time around...

Just like it was with him.
