            He stares ahead blankly. His eyes are glazed windows of mirrored silk, and he hasn’t moved from his position in the chair ever since the news came.

            Lance watches him, and shakes his head.

            “It’s no use bringing him back,” The others tell him. “His mother was his only family, and she’s dead now. He has nothing left to live for.”

            He’s only a hollow shell, they almost add, but he can catch the whispers.

            He doesn’t like them.

            How dare they speak about his child this way?

           

            Red doesn’t pay much attention, now that Mother is gone there is nothing left for him in the world outside, but he likes the nice red-haired man in the white jacket with the golden eyes.

            Those are pretty eyes, just like sunshine and marbles.

            The nice doctor comes and brings him his food every day, and he eats a little, because it would be unfair to Mother if he wasted away even though this food is far from as good as hers, and he moves a little, and the red-haired doctor tells him stories about another world, with dragons and strange creatures and men and women with magic powers. He says that he’ll take him there someday, when he’s ready.

 

            Red doesn’t know it, but he is getting stronger. Every night, Lance feeds him a little bit more power, holding him close as he sleeps, wanting to touch and cuddle and caress, but unwillingly to abuse a child until it is freely given. He gives him dreams too, bright stories of adventure, coaxing him back to the land of the living.

            Red starts to look forwards to each day, and Lance brings him little treats, a new story, perhaps, or a bite of something yummy, and before long, he is cured.

            It comes as no surprise when Lance takes him away. Then, they open the portal and Red feels memory flood him, and he kisses his Father even as he feels a hand slip between his legs.

            He isn’t lonely any more, so now he can wake up and not be blank.

            He’s happy.

Yes, disturbing incest. I don’t support it in real life, mind you, but it’s cute in fanfic!
