Vulcan sighed, pinching his nose, “Hephaestus, what’d you do?” Hephaestus looked away nervously, “...I may or may not have stolen mom’s favorite bracelet.” Vulcan jolted, “YOU DID WHAT?!” Hephaestus flinched, “I didn’t think it’d be that big of a deal.” Vulcan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, “Well, mom is mad right now, and if one of us doesn’t ‘fess up we’re BOTH getting punished!” Hephaestus’s eyes widened, “I don’t wanna be thrown again..!” He said, tears welling up in his eyes, Vulcan flinched, realizing he made his brother cry. He knelt down, sighing, and wiped Hephaestus’s eyes, “Hey, hey it’s okay.. It..” He trailed off, taking another deep breath. “I’ll take the blame for you, alright?” Hephaestus looked at him, “Y-You’d do that? F-For me?” He asked shakily, Vulcan nodded “Of course I would.” Hephaestus frowned, “What if she tears your arm again?” Vulcan flinched at the thought and his breath hitched in his throat, he shook his head and said, “It’ll be worth it, for you, you’re my brother after all. Now hand me that bracelet.” Hephaestus passed it to him and hugged him suddenly, “Thank you..”
Hephaestus = Spade btw ____ "You used to be such a good brother... what happened to you...?" "You don't wanna know."
