Alto let Halo hug him but didn’t sleep, he wasn’t tired.
Alto let Halo hug him but didn’t sleep, he wasn’t tired.
Halo rests against Alto, his breathing soft and slow.
Alto stayed silent and hoped Halo would get some sleep.
Halo just relaxed in his brothers warmth, not tired enough to sleep.
Alto held Halo's arm close against his chest, like he did when they were little.
Halo smiles at that. He loved it. He loved being with his brother. He sighs happily.
Alto was glad his brother was there with him, nut he was nervous. What if he never got over Stormy's death. Would it haunt him for the rest of his life?
Halo nuzzles into him as he slept.
We need to make a new person for Alto!!//
(we could do like, a plot twist thing where he starts dating one of the guys on the football team in secret or something….?)
Yas!//
(Kk. Do you want to skip to after they get home from the hospital?)
Sure, maybe Alto is headed to school or something?//
(Sounds good)
Alto shivered a little in the cold, walking quickly to school. He reached the school grounds and cut across the sports fields.
The football team was out there, all of them laughing at talking. They often went out for morning runs, which Halo had usually declined so he could be with his brother.
Ohh! Extra plot twist! It's the captain of the football team//
(Heheheh yeesss)
Alto walked quicker after seeing the football team, keeping his hands in his pockets and his head down.
"Hey! Alto!" Kris walks after him, tapping his shoulder. There was no menace in his voice. Just curiousity.
Alto glanced back at him, slightly confused. “What?” He asked, continuing to walk.
Kris walked beside him. "We were wondering about Halo…" And you… "We haven't seen him since he talked to the coach."
"Uh..oh..yeah he's doing better. Well I guess you didn't hear. He was..uh..in the hospital for a while. It was this thing, I forget what it's called. It basically makes your muscles really weak and it's hard to walk and move and stuff. He'll be fine, I mean, he is fine, I..sorry…" Alto trailed off, looking down as he walked.
"Hey. It's okay." He hesitates to place a hand on Alto's shoulder. He had been so terrible to Halo and Alto. He had been struggling with his sexuality for the longest time, and he couldn't understand it. So he took it out on others. He felt aweful for hurting them. "Look… About the past… I'm really sorry. To both you and Halo. I've been kind of an a-hole."
Alto flinched slightly when Kris set his hand on his shoulder. “Yeah..you were..” He said quietly. “Why are you apologizing now?”
Kris looks down. "I was questioning a lot of shit. I was angry and confused. That didn't give me an excuse to bully and harass you and your brother.
"Did you figure any of your shit out?" Alto asked, glancing over at him.
Kris nods. "Most of it. Yeah." He smiles a little before glancing at Alto. "I'm still really sorry for hurting you and Halo. I feel so terrible for the hell I out you two through…" He says quietly.
"It's fine..I guess…I'll tell Halo." Alto said, smiling a tiny bit as well.
