Sonny kept sighing all day and it began to annoy his other eight brothers greatly.
"Why doesn't he just get on with it, it's not like we are oblivious to what is going on with him," whined one.
"If we shine any light upon it, you know he'll just start babbling about how we should ignore his woes and focus on pleasuring the customers," said another.
"Is love really such a depressing thing?" asked the youngest of the brothers who was barely fifteen.
The elder brother's rolled their eyes. "You will know soon enough."
Sonny just ignored his brothers' chatter and went about his bussiness, but every thought he had kept leading back to Darius and it showed most in his singing when one customer said his love songs felt much more real and longing than usual, and maybe that was because, for once, they were true love songs.

Darius grew more and more furious as they neared the spa, his father's unrelenting grip making his struggled useless. Finally, the teen tried to fly away, but Loft kept his hold on his son's wrist, looking like he was carrying a live balloon.
"Will you stop struggling you little brat." Loft said without heat to Darius. "I'm trying to help you." Darius didn't reply, continuing his antics even as they walked up the tree lined street to the spa's entrance, receiving making strange looks. This turned out to be the wrong path to take as the last tree by the front doors snatched at the fluttering Darius.
The teen's clothes and wings being what they were, caught in the low hanging branches of the tree, ensnaring the boy. Darius panicked, one wing tearing in his thrashing as Loft tried to calm him down.
*Sonny!* Darius cried out involuntarily and he desperately pulled at the branches that trapped him, feeling the one wing tear almost completely in half.

It was right in the middle of a calming song for one of his more continous customers that Sonny felt the sudden sting in his chest. He didn't take anytime in apologizing before he was up and out of the spa to see Darius struggling in a tree, caught.
"Darius!" he exclaimed coming to the tree. He wasn't sure what he should do, and looked around him. However, he felt the other's fear and just decided to climb up the tree. "Hold on, I'll get you down." Carefully, Sonny made his way into the tree and gingerly reached out to where he saw a torn wing. Sadness filled him at the sight, but he ignored it and removed the branches so that Darius was freed. "Catch him," he yelled down to Loft.

Needless to say, Loft was completely useless, fussing at the base of the tree not wanting to leave Darius but also needing help. He sighed in relief when Sonny came running and scaled the tree to the frantic Darius.
The teen looked at Sonny with frightened blue eyes, heart pounding and his breath catching. He calmed long enough for Sonny to untangle him before he was falling, stomach in his throat, into his father's outstretched arms.
Loft ended up falling on his butt from the force of Darius' fall, but he'd managed to keep a firm hold on the now trembling boy in his arms. "Darius. Are you alright." His father asked worriedly, getting no reply from the teen.

Sonny jumped down from the tree and ran to where Loft and Darius were. "His wing, it's torn. We need to get him to a medic," Sonny said voice completely wrapped with worry.

Loft blinked at Sonny. "I don't think we have to go that far." He said with a kindly smile. "Let's just kept him inside then I can see if we need to cut it off or not." The older male handed Darius to Sonny and the boy promptly wrapped his arms around the blonds neck.
"C'mon then." He said with a sigh, not in the least worried about Darius' wing as he motioned to Sonny to follow him into the spa.

Sonny was confused. He didn't know much about Fae people, but he would trust the word of Darius' father. Looking down at Darius' face, he fallowed Loft back into the spa and went to his room to lay Darius down.

Darius was a little pale and scratched up, but none the worse for the wear. He didn't really look at Sonny though, keeping his face against the male's neck until he felt a bed beneath him. Immediately he shifted onto his stomach to reveal his battered wing. It was severed nearly in half, barely hanging on by a few veins.
Loft clucked at the sight. "You severed the main vein Darius. It has gotta go. The other one too?" He asked as he flicked open a sharp hunting knife he kept in his pocket watching Darius nod. "Darius can explain this all to you later, Sonny." Loft added to the blond as he deftly cut the first the injured wing off at the base and then the other.
Free of the body, both wings crumbled into a fine, glittery powder. Loft looked satisfied at both Sonny and Darius.

Sonny almost had a heartattack at the sight of Loft cutting off Darius' wings. He just stood there blank for while the deed was done.

Darius sat up almost immediately and slugged his father. *What is your problem?* He finally exploded as a surprised Loft clutched his cheek. *First you take me to this godforsaken planet and then you drag me places I don't want to go and then cause me to lose my wings.* He was gesturing broadly, eyes flashing as he glared at his father. *Not to mention it's going to take me two weeks to grow them back!*
Seeming done, Darius fell back onto the bed, pressing a pillow to his face, ignoring how the way Sonny's scent cause him to shudder.

"D-darius," Sonny said unsure of what to do in this situation, but he was glad to hear that Darius' wings would grow back.

*You wanted us to be alone, didn't you Mr. Nose." Darius hissed at his still startled father. *So, why don't you leave already?* Loft frowned and then shrugged. This was Darius after all.
"You two play nice." Loft said as he left, shutting the door behind him. The teen stuck his tongue out at the place his father just vacated before turning to Darius, frowning.
*I hate him.* He said with all honesty.

Sonny smirked a bit finding the little exchange slightly amusing. "I can tell. But why, may I aquire, did he want us to be alone?"

*Because he's a bastard.* Darius retorted. He wasn't about to tell Sonny that he had been miserable all day when he wasn't able to see the blond.

"Ah," was what Sonny decided to reply. He then made his way to his bed and sat. "You know," he began,"I've been a nuisance to my family all day because I've only been able to think about you."
