how NOT to be mean to your siblings luthor style
Luther Hargreaves knew that he was considered the uptight stick up his butt kind of leader. What he desperately wanted to yell at his siblings was that he had no choice. It was like their dad took a chain then bound his hands together, unable to do anything but watch all the hate he was forced to take. Honestly if Helena wasn’t there a lot would be fucked up with there little family
Despite being ridiculed by their father for just being "normal" Helena just ignored their father and tried to help her siblings the best she could. No matter what anybody was going through Helena would sit their and just be there for them.
Luther thought her as the glue of the family. Without her everything would just be falling apart and Luther wouldn't be anything without her. Yes he knew he would be something but just a mindless brute following his dad's orders even if it was hurting his own siblings. Contrary to popular belief Luther did not want to be the asshole but usually his dad left him no choice. If he didn't follow things it would get worse for his siblings.
"Number One focus, I did not train you to be this useless"
"I need you to make them do this"
"Your useless if you can't even get them to follow you"
"Maybe I should make number two do this since you're obviously incompetent"
And then it would go on and on and Luther shouldered it on but Helena his sweet baby sister would stand their and say
"Ignore dad he's just an asshole with no sense of humor"
"Yes you could do this but you don't need to"
"Don't worry about Number two i'll talk to him"
"Take a nap Luther you don't need to finish this right now"
And yeah that made Luther tear up a little because you know always being stuck as the leader wasn't very fun. It almost felt like Helena understood that and Luther did not know how or why but he didn't even bother questioning it.
Right now it was a rare day off that was given since reginald was not even home at the moment and he had taken pogo with him for some reason. All of his siblings were congregated in Helena's room and being general nuisance of himself
Luther wouldn't have it any other way but he just like complaining for the sake for of complaining
Diego, Allison and Klaus were playing uno and the game was getting intense since it looked like Diego was two seconds away from gutting klause like a fish. Luther had to bite his tongue not to burst out laughing. Five and Ben were talking quietly to each other and it looked like it was about some book series both took an interest in. Vanya and Helena however were drawing together? Honestly he had no idea what they were doing since both were bunkered down in the corner.
There was a bowl of sweets next to them annnnndddd luther is just going to mind his business. Anything to do with Helena sometimes ends with an impossible plan that she somehow ends up pulling off. Reginald is still looking for his favorite monocle and none of the siblings were saying that Helena somehow took it.
Luther at the time didn't know if he was supposed to feel horrified or impressed. He definitely felt both and still does at the moment.
In all honestly he loved Helena's room and it was his favorite out of the whole school/house they lived in. Helena had a little bit of her siblings everywhere in her room. Even a little bit of herself. If Reginald could help it he would never enter her room since it was such a mess.
Luther did not think that because Helena's room was an art. The room was painted with different things everywhere. Whenever Helena got bored she would draw on the walls then paint. There were rainbows and animals and even cartoons painted all over.
Helena had a weird obsession with Marvel and DC
There were fairy lights hung up everywhere with pretty flowers that somehow always stayed fresh. Luther didn't question it since it was Helena and she always managed to do something impossible.
The floor would be cluttered with clothes or books. Sometimes half-finished assignments were laying about as well as paintings. Helena's piano was in the corner and if she felt like it she would play all her siblings favorite songs and then she would sing. She was really good at singing and sometimes Luther wished Helena wasn't stuck in this fucked up family.
She should've been with people who would be there for her. But then Helena would look and grin at him or when she was younger she would tug on their clothes. All Luther would feel at that moment was fondness and love for his little sister.
He remembers all the rainy days where Helena would drag them out and they would dance and run. The rain soaks them to the bone but everyone would be laughing and smiling. One time Luther asked Helena why she loved the rain so much.
“Rain always means a new beginning to me, because no matter how long it goes on it’ll end and I’ll always be ready for the next storm”.
Luther had no idea what she meant but all he knew was that Helena loved rain and he did not mind since she somehow always made the best hot chocolate. Better than mom even. Diego would call out blasphemy if he heard that.
