"I do." Alto laughed, trying to pull his hand away.
"I do." Alto laughed, trying to pull his hand away.
Halo whines. "Work is more important than your brother?"
"At the moment, yes." He grinned.
Halo huffs and releases his hand and turns away, pretending to be mad.
"Aww poor you.." Alto said quietly, looking back down at his homework.
Halo gives an exaggerated whine, sounding almost like an injured puppy.
Alto reached over and patted his face sympathetically.
Halo looks at him and whines again. "Altooooo."
“Whaaaaat?” He replied exasperatedly.
"Pay attention to meeeee." He whines.
“I have stuff to do. Call Alex or something.” Alto replied.
Halo whines again and pouts softly as he sits on his bed.
"Y'know Halo, i'm not going to be around forever.." Alto commented quietly as he worked.
Halo looks up. "What do you mean?" He asks softly, sitting up slowly.
"We won't live together for the rest of our lives. You'll probably find someone, get married, move away… I might find someone.." He said quietly, not looking at Halo.
Halo takes his hand gently. "We're still brothers. Still family." He whispers.
“I know. I’m just saying..” Alto squeezed his hand.
Halo sighs softly. "Let's… Let's not think about it…"
“I just don’t..never mind..”
Halo looks down and sighs softly, fumbling with his fingers. His happy mood had been diminished. Did Alto want to get away from Halo? Was he to much of a burden. He turns away from his brother, trying not to cry.
Alto realized that what he just said sounded horrible. He reached over and squeezed Halo's arm gently. "I'm sorry..I didn't mean…"
Halo says nothing, just curls in on himself. He bites his lip. "It doesn't matter." He says quietly.
"Yes it does…I'm sorry Halo.." He said softly, looking down.
Halo nods slowly, keeping quiet. It still hurt, but he forgave his brother.
Alto fell silent, feeling horrible.
