Matthew sat alone in his bed playing chess against himself. He was winning, and he was losing...he was bored. He took the cover of chess board off and put all the pieces where they belonged and slid the lid back in place. He looked towards the small window in his bedroom and sighed, wishing that he could fly into the glimmering blue of the sky.
"Hey Mattie!" the door to his room opened and Alfred, his twin brother, ran in with a huge smile on his face.
"HI Alfie." Matthew replied putting the chess board off to the side.
"guess what!"
"what?"
"you remember Alex right?" Alfred said, "i told you about him a couple of days ago?"
"yes, i remember."
"cool, anyways, he's invited me to his birthday party next week!" Alfred smiled, "i will give you all the awesome details."
"swe-" Matthew started but was cut off by an intense fit of couping.
"ye, Mattie! Breath, take a deep breath." the outgoing brother said helping the other to lean forward and rubbed his back. "im gonna get you some water, be right back." Alfred said as he quickly grabbed the golden picter beside the bed and ran to the bathroom.
Matthew looked up towards the ceiling to look at all the drawings he and his brother had done together, it helped him sleep at night and when he wasn't feeling good to look at them.
The ceiling was covered in childish art. So many colors twisting and twirling together to form a sense of happiness in a room alone.
"gha," Mathew coughed and wheezed while his brother returned, holding onto a cup and picter full of cool water.
"here, Mattie, drink this nice and slow!" Alfred said pouring a glass and holding it out for Matthew.
with shaking hands Matthew took the glass and brought it to his lips and drank. The cool water felt like icebergs soothing a desert. Draining the glass dry Matthew gave the cup back to Alfred, "when are mama and papa coming back?"
"i think tomorrow...oh they called earlier, they said they had a gift for us! isn't that great!" Alfred said with a smile.
"yep" Matthew nodded his head and leaned back into the pillow, with a yawn.
"oh, tired?"
"a little" Matthew admitted, he's been tired for a while now, he has less energy, but he didn't want to worry his family. he would get better, then he could go outside with his brother and play like a normal kid. Matthew know most of the other kids who he heard about. they all sounded really nice, and Matthew couldn't wait to meet them.
"hey, do you want to take a nap?" Alfred asked. "i can walk you up for dinner"
"that would be great Alfie!" Matthew said before moving off to the side for his brother. it was normal for Alfred to stay with his brother until he feel asleep. Alfred laid down in the bed and held onto his brother, and waited.
Alfred worried, for his brother. He worried for the day Matthew wouldn't wake up. all he could do was try to be a hero for Matthew. For now, Alfred would always protect his little brother, he would always make sure that he was safe.
