Friday eventually rolled around, Matthias had been avoiding any interaction with Blake. Hayden however had been around her a lot more, to try and make up for the lack of Matt. Matthias was in his bed, tucked under the two sheets and no blanket, due to the heat. His room smelt of his cologne, and he didn't budge as the cookies were placed on the bedside table. A few minutes came and went before his nose picked up on the sweet scent. His eyes popped open and he grabbed the cookie box, and began to eat one before he stopped. He stared off into space for a second,'Cookies...for me? That's very odd...' he set the cookies down then and contemplated.
As his stomach growled however, he threw away the thoughts of an attempted assassination and began to eat the rest. Once they were done, he threw on his torn jeans and a black shirt. A leather belt was then fastened around his waist, and he slipped on his black and white skate shoes. With that, he spiked his hair and headed out the door toward the kitchen. As he passed Haydens door he gave it a good smack with his palm, before running down the hall and down the stairs. Hayden fell out of bed, to the sudden smack on the door. He placed his hand over his heart as he sat there in his pajama pants. He realized then of the new item on his desk.
He peered into it, cookies. He gave a narrowed look then, as he began to think whether or not they were safe. But then he realized he'd smelt cookies earlier when he used the bathroom, so he knew it had to be Blake. He grabbed one then, but left the rest. His diet was rather strict, and he would probably be hung by his toes for even looking at a cookie. He slipped on his leather pants, boots, and his leather jacket. No shirt under the jacket however, he walked into the bathroom then and spiked his hair up. He would have time to put on the makeup and all that afterwards. He felt bad however, for the way Matthias had been treating Blake. He knew he had hurt Blake's feelings, yet he hadn't told Matt to be nice to her.
Hayden eventually left his room, and began his descent down the marble staircase. His boots creating a clacking sound, and he stopped as the front door opened. "Hello Ash...we just got up. Matt and I, I mean. Join us in the kitchen?" he asked politely as he approached her. He held his arm out for her to take, so he could escort her to the kitchen. Hayden was not attracted to Ash, so it was not to be mistaken as a flirt. Hayden was in love with Blake, but he still appreciated the friendship he and Ash shared. Inseparable, for lack of a better word.

Asher smiled some at Hayden as she walked in, her sunglasses perched on top of her head, already tangled in the messy strands. “Aww, aren’t you an adorable bean pole this morning,” she teased as she reached up and purposefully messed up his hair. It was her, she was a touchy feely person, and she laughed and had no problems with other people doing the same to her. Well, most of the time. Hayden was a good friend of hers, and he just wasn’t her type. In all honesty, she’d pegged him as gay when she first met him, until he told her about Blake. Well, even then she’d wondered, but after meeting the girl, it was obvious that they were perfect together.
“And oh joy, oh rapture. I’m going to get you back for forcing me to hold the monkey’s leash,” she muttered as she linked arms with him, rolling her eyes. Asher wasn’t exactly the type of person who was overly friendly and gave second chances anymore. There’d been a time where she’d been stupid enough to do so, but that was long since past, and the tattoos on her back were a testament to that. She generally didn’t look the type to have tattoos and piercings, despite how obvious they were, and in fact most people ignored them. She smiled at Hayden as they walked to the kitchen, happily sitting.
Blake in the meantime had found Matthais and given him coffee and his usual foods, even being brave enough to hug him tightly and wish him a good morning. It was enough said that she wouldn’t look at him, instead choosing to look down and away, a submissive sign and a silent apology to him for everything. She’d always apologize, no matter what happened, even if he was in the wrong. She’d never speak ill about anyone, ever, and it was a problem that annoyed people. She chewed her lower lip as Hayden and Ash came in, greeting them both before scurrying to a chair, sitting next to Matthais and mostly out of the way. Asher chose a seat across from Matthais and smiled. “Good morning Grumpy pants,” she teased, flicking her hair out of the way as she relaxed, perfectly at ease.

Hayden smirked at Asher as he led them to the kitchen. "Well at least you fire back, I've seen people quit jobs over that kid." he laughed then, and pulled a seat out for Asher before leaving her side. He then walked over to Blake and kissed her cheek,"Loved the cookies." he said, as he turned to the fridge and retrieved his morning yogurt. Banana and Strawberry yogurt, his favorite yogurt next to sugarless yogurt. He sat down on a bar stool at the counter, and crossed his legs as he ate his yogurt. "Thanks for the knock this morning, Mattykins, woke me up." he snickered silently then. He hadn't much appreciated the knock at the time, which was more like an artillery bombardment. But nonetheless, he did wake him up.
Matthias hugged Blake then,"Aww dahling, c'mere." he said and kissed her forehead. Somewhat forgiving her, as he had only started to partially get over the event from nearly a week before. He still didn't understand how she loved Hayden, but he would no longer badger her about it. He sat back down then, as he began to put sugar in his coffee along with milk. Not cream. He sipped it slowly and turned his head as the two entered the room. He saw Haydens arm in Asher's and scowled, not approving. "Take em' both then, why dontcha'?" he said a bit irritated. He raised an eyebrow as Asher messed his hair up,"G'mornin' toots, glad to see someone slept well."
The word Mattykins practically made Matthias hiss as he turned on Hayden. "Den, don't call me that. Dad and Mum called me that, so don't." he then sunk down in his chair. He sipped his coffee, not looking at anyone really, but rather staring off into space. He looked across at Asher once or twice with an emotionless glance, not even really aware she was there. He was so stuck in his own mind, that it took a clearing of Hayden's throat to bring him back to earth. "So what suit am I to be wearing?" Matthias asked, realizing he had to dance today. He looked forward to harassing Asher, but the dancing he could totally live without.

 Asher snickered at Matthais, reaching over and pinching his cheeks in an overly affectionate gesture. “Awww, what’s the matter, babydoll? In a pissy mood? But your big boy panties on and grow the fuck up,” she said, her tone too sugary to be anything but sarcasm. She blew him a kiss, her whole attitude cheeky as she sat back in her chair, propping a heeled foot on Matthais’ lap, not really giving him a chance or choice about the matter. It was either that or she’d simply sit on him, which wasn’t too much of a threat since she was petite. She snickered at the nickname, covering it with her hand and sliding a glance at Matthais, mostly ignoring him and letting him be. She yawned some, stretching her arms behind her head and running her fingers through her hair.
Blake eeped some at Matthais and beamed at him, a happy smile that he wasn’t really mad at her anymore before clucking and scolding him, crossing her arms. She was all adorable and not in the least bit threatening as she scolded him, tapping a finger on his nose. “Matty, be nice,” she said before shifting and looking at Hayden, arching an eyebrow as she crossed small arms in front of her. “Hay-hay,” she said, sighing. “No fighting, no biting. Now kiss and make up, both of you.”
She smiled then, giggling a bit because she knew how they both would react. She’d often been the messenger between them and was amused by Asher’s reaction to Matthais’ comment about Hayden having both. The fiery woman nearly choked on the coffee she had, leveling a glare at Matthais. “Sorry to burst your bubble, babycakes, but Jack Skellington ain’t my type. I don’t like nice guys. If I’m going to fuck someone, they need to not cry afterwards,” she said with a thin smile.

Matthias got up then, throwing Asher's leg out of his lap. He walked across the room to Hayden like a model in a fashion show. With the most feminine voice he could muster, he started. "Ello' sir, my names Asher, and I'd kill for a night with you." he then wrapped his arms around Hayden's neck and gave him a big kiss on the lips. He was then pushed away as he started to laugh at the reaction of Hayden. Hayden however didn't find it funny, and grabbed Matthias slamming him against the counter. The hidden muscles in Hayden's arms appearing, as he curled his lip while looking at Matthias. "Don't insult guests, in...my...House!" he said, pulling Matt forward and slamming his back against the counter again. Hayden stormed off then,"Be ready in half an hour." he said sharply to the others.
Matthias sat up on the counter, and gave a fake surprised look. "Whoa! I think I'm in love!" he cracked up then and looked at the doorway where Haydens butler glared. Matthias slid off the counter then and walked out of the kitchen towards his room, rubbing his shoulder. Although he wouldn't show it, Hayden had slammed Matt's shoulder bone into the counter, bruising it. He grumbled as he started up the stairs and partially chuckled, he was again mentally talking to himself. He found ways to cope with being embarrassed by living in his own world where he could pull himself back together.

Blake jumped back just as Asher jumped up, on her feet in an instant. Cursing under her breath, Asher stopped, pulling the slightly smaller girl back and out of the way. It wasn’t a secret between Asher and Hayden that her…boyfriends of the past weren’t nice guys. He’d met her too late to really have much influence, but she’d stopped dating people and stuck with sleeping around. If there was one thing Ash could do, it was sex. The other was sell the idea of sex. She frowned and sat the younger girl down, letting Hayden leave the room to cool off. It was a better idea to let him go and cool down, not that she was afraid of getting hurt, but the other girl looked ready to cry.
Ash sighed and rubbed her temples before she set her down and let her go, watching as Blake scampered off, presumably after one of the boys. Grumbling, she fixed herself a cup of coffee before walking off, deciding to go check on Hayden. She wandered around until she found him and casually leaned on the doorframe, sipping her coffee as she watched him. “That was a bit unnecessary, Hayden,” she said dryly, her voice losing it’s normal teasing. “Not like I haven’t had worse said to me or been accused of.”
Amethyst eyes watched the taller male as he moved about, the movements definitely expressing his rage. “It’s too fucking early for this shit, just ignore it. If you want me to handle him, then you have to trust that I can do it. I’m a big girl, I promise I can stand up for myself,” she said with a thin smile.
Blake, in the meantime, had scampered off after Matthais, worry etched into her features. She timidly tapped on the door to his room, creaking it open and carefully stepping in, closing it behind her. She wasn’t worried about Matthais physically hurting her, but he could get nasty with words. He’d made her cry before, but she always held in the tears until he was gone and done raging. She bit her lower lip before shuffling a step forward, quiet as always. “….I’m sorry, Matthais,” she said quietly. “….Are you okay? Did Hayden hurt you?”

Hayden sat in a chair, with a glass of scotch in his hand. He drained it in one go and turned as Asher appeared in the doorway. He looked at her, and grunted at her words. "Not unnecessary. Nothing is unnecessary when it comes to Matthias. He needs to grow up." he looked at her then. He stood up, and ran his fingers through his hair. "All I did was chase my dream, and I enjoy that dream. To make music for people, do you know how that is? To make people happy, to help them get through stuff? It's a feeling I could have only dreamed of having as a kid. It wasn't about the money, or the fame, or even the discounts. It was doing what got me through my hard times, and in turn, helped others. But Matthias only sees it as a power struggle." he turned and looked out the window then. He had nothing more to say on the subject. "I'm sorry you've been through a lot of crap Ash, you are the last person that deserves it. Even if you sometimes can't be quiet." he chuckled at the last part and stared at the trees outside.
Matthias wheeled around, peering through the darkness. He wasn't sure how to react at first, so his immediate tone was of anger. "Pfft. Hurt me, yeah right." he said. He sat in silence for a minute and then lashed out, not intentionally but just out of habit. "So what are you here for this time? Boy toy is down the hall, it's obvious you don't care about me." he picked up the flower vase on his bedside table and threw it across the room. He didn't throw it at her, or even near her. He just did it to startled her and to make her leave him alone, he wasn't in the mood to be of any comfort to anyone.

The reaction was immediate. She took a step back, the fear crossing her features before she ducked her head and stared at her feet, silent and flinching. Her whole life had been one of pain and misery and the brothers were the only ones that had kept her from dying like she'd wanted to so many times. Now Matthais' anger was burning and it made her feel that everything was her fault. She closed her eyes, freezing in place as she let the starbursts of color fill the otherwise blackened vision.
She whimpered some, her hand already on the door handle. ".....I'm sorry, Matthais. I won't ever bother you again," she said, her voice soft before she was gone and out the door, silent on her feet as tears blurred her vision. She moved away, heading towards somewhere, anywhere away from him.
Asher rolled her eyes at Hayden, shrugging a shoulder. "Yeah, I sell people the idea of sex for a living. And people write stories about how much they wanna screw you," she teased, her voice light. She smiled some, shaking her head. "I'll check on your brother. You stay here and play nice," she said with a laugh. "Relieve some tension."
Asher waved as she exited Hayden's room, stopping when she came across the younger girl. Asher wasn't stupid, she was far from it, and she knew that something had happened. Sighing, she moved forward and hugged the girl, holding her tight and murmuring comforting things to her. She moved her then, dropping her off in Hayden's room with a stern look at the male to comfort her.
Asher herself was already riled up. She moves quickly and opened the door to Matthais' room and crossed her arms. "You are an asshole. No wonder she likes your brother better. You do need to grow the hell up and stop acting like a damned spoiled brat. Talk shit, get hit," she seethed, crossing her arms as she glared at the taller male. "If you act like a two year old, then expect to be treated as one."

Hayden stood up swiftly, causing the blood to rush to his head. He shook it off and snorted at Asher's glare. As if he had to be told to comfort Blake. He walked forward then and wrapped his arms around Blake. "He's just being a dick Blake, best if you ignore him for a while. I know it will be hard, but it's the only way to make him learn." he said, placing his cheek on her hand as he swayed back and forth slowly. He hated seeing Blake cry, and what Matthias had done he could only guess. He was just glad Blake had managed to escape, he knew his brothers wrath was scary sometimes.
Matthias ran his hands down his face roughly as Blake left. He didn't like to make Blake upset, but the sooner she let go of him, the sooner he could move on. He sat there in silence for two minutes before he was interrupted by Asher. He stood up then, no longer sitting on his bed. "Yeah, that's right. I'm the asshole, toots. I ain't the one who is playin with two brothers hearts. And I ain't the one you need to be fussin' at either, I know my choices and I know the consequences." Matthias' face suddenly became very calm, and he gave a sarcastic smirk as he ran his hand through his hair. He walked over to her and slammed the door shut, backing Asher into it. "Preach it darlin', yeah. Get it all out, but at the end of the day, what do you have ta show for it eh? A partially liveable existence for another month? Don't you ever get scared one day you are gonna wake up one day and realize you're wastin' your bloody life. No? Well take a good look dahling." he said, moving his hand as if he were mapping out her future. "You only live once dahling, and any mistake you make now you will only suffer for it later. So go be a good Asher, yeah? Go sit, look pretty, go suck up to Hayden by all means. But don't come ta me pointin' ya bloody finger unless you got shit on me you haven't done! And I'm bloody willin' ta bet you've done much worse than causin' Blake ta cry. Now get out!" and with that, he turned and punched the back of a chair as hard as he could.

Asher wasn't one to be intimidated. There was a lot more that she'd suffered through than simply being yelled at and backed into a wall. She'd been hit into one and she simply crossed her arms, glaring at him, a defiant look on her features. "I've done what I've wanted to do. And guess what? I could give two fucks less about what you think. The girl doesn't have it in her to do anything like what you accused her of. So pull the fucking dildo out of your ass, wake up and realize that you're pretty damned lucky for all you have," she said, instead stepping to him, bringing their bodies in line.
She stepped up to him, tilting her head back to look up. It was a disadvantage of being short, but her amethyst eyes glowed with inner rage. "So, skeleton, suck it the fuck up and deal. I can sit and look pretty all I want, but there's nothing in your future for being an asshole and a child."
Her body language dared him to do something, anything and her arms were by her side. A single breath would have brought her into touching him and she knew that the vast majority of people had two reactions to her being this close. They would either force her to move or they would draw her in closer. She was betting Matthais would be the former.
Blake simply hid against Hayden, closing her eyes and not making a sound, instead wrapping her arms around him and rising on tiptoe to soothe the awkward distance. The silence was broken by her apologizing into his chest, quietly and with guilt on her every word. She was thankful that she still had someone, but worried Hayden would be mad.

Matthias looked at her angrily as she fussed at him. "You know it's kinda funny how you make her sound so innocent. You don't know er' like I know er' so stop tryin' to! If not being hurt by someone was so easy, you aren't proving it any better than I am. So whats your secret eh? Ex boyfriend a cheater? A beater?" he looked down at her. His eyes full of rage and gleaming hatred for the smaller lady. What was her problem anyways? She didn't care about Blake from what he could tell. He narrowed his eyes as she got closer to him, he made himself stay put instead of backing down.
He flared his nostrils as his lip curled,"Be happy for what?" he asked as she was inches from him now. He looked at her for quite a few seconds, but they passed like minutes for him. He wasn't going to push her away, but he wasn't going to back down either. But her closeness was getting to him, and before he knew it he had slid an arm around her waist drawing her closer and was kissing her.
Hayden frowned as he heard Blake apologize. "Sorry for what babe? What happened?" he asked, he bent down on one knee then and wiped her tears away. He never liked seeing people cry, but when Blake cried it killed him. He still couldn't quite get what drove his brother to be such a jerk to Blake. Blake hadn't done anything, he had. So why Matt seemed to insist on causing her pain was beyond him, although it was some form of jealousy. "Just stay away from him okay babe? He's obviously a bit too mixed up to make the right choices right now..." he hugged her then. His hand patting her back soothingly.

If there was one thing about living on the stage, it was that you could lie with your body language. She’d done that time and time again so when he’d hit the nail on the head with both, she gave nothing away. Well, almost. She wasn’t in her right mind and regardless of if Blake was as innocent as she seemed, Matthais had been way out of line. Violet eyes stared right back at him as she stood there, daring him to go ahead and do something, daring him to back down as she stood there, a full foot shorter than he was. “It’s none of your goddamned business, asshole,” she managed to get out before he was suddenly on her.
She barely had time to think or realize what was happening before his arm was around her waist and she was flush against him, his lips on hers. Instinct took over as well as some level of attraction and her hands rested on her shoulders as she pressed back against him, rising up for balance and to ease some of the awkwardness of their heights. She made some feminine sound, a gasp at the sudden movements and was returning the kiss with just as much energy as he put into it.
Blake shifted some against Hayden, shaking her head. She was silly, that much she knew, for crying and brought her sleeves up to wipe at her eyes, sniffling. She peered at the older male through a curtain of hair before nibbling on her lower lip, trying to come up with words to say. “I’m sorry that I’m crying so much,” she said as she slid her eyes down to look at the floor. It was a submissive move, a gesture she always did whenever she was apologizing. It was a bad habit of hers, one that needed to be broken and would eventually get there.
She sighed then, blowing a few strands of hair out of her face before looking back at him, nodding. She knew that it was for the best, and instead slid her arms around Hayden’s shoulders, hugging him. She buried her face against his shoulders and sighed, nuzzling him there before pulling back just a bit and pressing a kiss there, smiling against him.
