Kris smiles assuringly at Alto before driving him home.
Kris smiles assuringly at Alto before driving him home.
Alto got home and leaned over to kiss Kris quickly. "See you tomorrow." He said distractedly, getting out of the car.
Kris nods. "Love you!" He calls before pulling out of the driveway.
Alto walked quickly to the door and went inside. "Halo? I..I'm home.."
Halo was on the couch, head in hands, looking tired and defeated. "Dinner is on the table. It might need to go in the microwave."
"I..I'm so sorry Halo. I didn't realize what time it was..I should've called, I'm sorry.." Alto sighed, walking over to him.
"How could you not, Alto. It's almost 10pm. In fact it's past that. You were gone for 4 hours longer then I expected. You didn't answer texts or calls, I was worried sick." Halo was in tears. "I can't loose you." He grabs Alto into a fierce hug. "You're all I've got."
Alto shook his head. "I…" But trailed off after Halo hugged him. Alto felt horrible, absolutely horrible, but he hugged Halo back tight, not saying anything.
Halo sobbed into his brothers shoulder. He was so scared and things with Alex had fallen apart, he only had Alto now. And he wasn't even sure if he had his brother anymore.
"It's okay Halo…I'm here..I'll always be here.." Alto said quietly. Stop lying to him… He thought.
Halo slowly calmed down, still holding on tightly to his brother. He was so scared. Death loomed over him everyday. If he didn't heal, his body would shut down. And he knew A lot would leave sooner or later. It would happen with time and Halo… He'd be alone again.
"C'mon Halo. You need to sleep.." Alto said quietly, helping Halo to his room. "Do you want me to stay with you?"
Halo nods slowly, weakly. He needed rest. He knew that. "Okay." He whispered.
"I'll be there in a minute." He said, nudging Halo towards the bed and going into the bathroom, locking the door and immediately falling to his knees, sobbing into his hands.
Halo curled into his blanket, his medications on the table, his room a mess. He was exhausted, he did school, and then he rested, showered, ate, then slept again.
You keep hurting everyone..Halo is dying and you can’t even be there for him.. He thought, gasping for air as sobs shook his body. He won’t talk to you if he finds out about Kris..you should’ve told him sooner..you’re making his life miserable.. Alto griped the side of the sink, trying to breathe, his chest tightened to the point where he couldn’t breathe. “Halo!” He choked out desperately.
Halo heard Alto cry out of him. He instantly pushed through his pain, pushed past the blankets and bolted for the bathroom. He slams the door open, his eyes wild and concerned. When he sees Alto he rushed to his brothers side. "Oh god, Alto. Are you okay?" He kneels next to Alto, taking his face into his hands. "Breathe. Focus on me. Breathe."
Alto collapsed into Halo’s arms, taking slow, shaking breaths. After a few minutes he was mostly back to normal and pulled away a little. “I’m sorry..I’m really sorry..I should..be there for you..and I’m not..” He said quietly, not meeting his brothers eyes.
Halo smiled weakly and softly. "Easy now… It's… It's okay. You have other things to take care of." He says gently, hauling his brother up. "Let's get to bed…" He says gently.
Alto helped Halo up and nodded a little. “You’re number one. And I’m staying home with you tomorrow.” He said as he lay down, wrapping his arms around Halo.
Halo smiles, "No, it's alright Alto. You need to go to school… You've missed enough because of me." He says gently, hugging him brother.
“No I’m staying home. End of conversation.” Alto smiled a little.
Halo smiled. "Who am I to stop you then?" He chuckles softly before resting against his brother.
