“Brother?” Victor had called out when he woke up reaching out towards Logan’s sleeping figure and slightly shaking him.
Logan wakes up grumbling slightly before sitting up a bit, “Hey bub what’s wrong?” he takes in the slightly scared look on Victor’s face, “Had another nightmare huh?”
Victor nods, laying down and cuddling into Logan’s side.
“Don’t worry I got you.”
The younger feral lets the elder pull him into a bone crushing hold.
“It’s safe nothing’s going to take me away from you. Not Stryker, not The X-Men…”
“Not even Wade?”
Victor asks growling lowly while holding his brother possessively like if he let go his Jimmy, his baby brother, his entire world might disappear.
“No not even mouthpiece can keep me away from you,”
Logan whispers as he lightly scratches his fingers into Victor’s scruffy beard the way one might scratch the side of a cat’s head to get it to relax.
It works because next thing Logan knows Victor is snoring and forgetting all about the nightmare he had.
