Hey, this will be a slash fan fiction aka guy X guy stuff so if that bugs you then don't read it. This does not contain incest as they are not biologically related at all in this fan fiction. I have tried to make them sound like what they do in the show but seeing as this is my first one its not likely so they might be a bit OCC. Thanks an I hope you like it.

Don was taking a week off. He had just solved a massive case that had had them all on edge for almost two weeks and to be honest they all needed it. Ok, so he didn't solve the case personally, Charlie did. But that's not the point, it was after all a group effort after all and it just so happened that he was a big part of that group. He sighed, since when did he lose his touch. Ever since Charlie had started getting involved in cases he had not once been the one to catch the criminal. Sure he arrested them but Charlie caught them. Every year before Charlie came into the picture Don won FBI of the year in his office and he now realized that he had taken advantage of that fact since Charlie was to receive it this year despite not properly being in the FBI. Oh well, that was the life of being the older brother to a genius. Sad thing was he could not stay mad at him because despite everything he had seen he still remained innocent.

"Charlie, Dad, I'm home." He shouted as he entered the house. Even though he no longer lived there it was still 'home'. A place to come to when he'd had a bad day or when he needed company.

"Oh, hi Don," Charlie mumbled as he brushed past Don with a folder almost overflowing with paper.

"Hey, hey, what happened?" he asked concerned. Charlie had never been this miserable since mum died and he hoped this wouldn't cause Charlie to wrap himself up in that math's problem again like what had happened last time something big happened.

"Oh nothing," Charlie said half heartedly and tried to give his usual grin.

"And I'm a mathematical genius." Don stated sarcastically.

"Well you have potential," Charlie shot back as he attempted to leave again.

"Charlie, I'm your brother you can talk to me." He said trying to get Charlie to spill what ever was making him upset like this.

"No your not and you never have been." Charlie said as tears started to spill down his face.

"What do you mean I'm not your brother? Of course I'm your brother." Don said as he began to rub circles gently on Charlie's back as he tried to calm him down. He had never seen Charlie act like this and to be honest it was starting to freak him out.

"No! Your not, unless it is possible to be brothers and not have the same parents. I was adopted by your father when I was a week old since my biological mother died of complications and my biological father committed suicide. Apparently I reminded my family too much of what they lost so they adopted me out." Charlie said as he handed the folder to Don. Meanwhile Don's mind was going at a million miles an hour. Charlie was not his brother… Charlie was not his brother… Charlie was not his brother… wait. That means that Charlie's not …

"Charlie I wish there was something… anything I could do." Don said stunned. Sure there had been times in his life where he wished that Charlie wasn't his brother but all brothers had their fights. Also Charlie was probably… actually scrap that. Charlie IS the most important person in Dons life and he would do anything to keep him safe. "So where were you going anyway?"

"I was going to ask dad what is going on," Charlie replied as took the folder back out of Dons slack hands and brushed a stray curl out of his eyes. Keeping his eyes down cast he went to sweep past Don but before he could Don reached out and grabbed Charlie's arm.

"Hey, do you want me to come with you. You know for support," he asked gently. This was massive and he knew deep down that there was no chance Charlie could handle this change and he would have to be there for him more than ever now. At this Charlie met his gaze for the first time and Don took an unconscious step backwards as he saw the spark of hope that was almost drowned out by fear that clouded his dark eyes.

"Would you? If you're not too busy… I mean you would probably want to relax after the big case and all," Charlie asked, his eyes once again refusing to meet his own. That's it. He was going whether Charlie wanted him to or not. Charlie always kept eye contact to the point of being scary and not keeping eye contact meant he was really scared about something.

"Hey I got a week off; it would be no trouble to start a little late." Don replied trying to lighten the mood but failing. This time when Charlie went to leave Don didn't stop him but instead he followed him into the kitchen.

"Hey boys what are you up to?" dad asked casually as they entered.

"We need to talk," Charlie said monotonously.

"What's going on? Charlie is there something you're not telling me?" Dad asked now sounding concerned.

"Actually that is exactly what I was going to ask you," Charlie replied looking my father dead in the eyes. "Why didn't you tell me I was adopted?"

"What? How did you…"

"Don't bother just tell me why," Charlie said his voice emotionless.

"Well this might take awhile so we should get comfortable," Dad said with almost a tired look on his face as they followed him. "Ok, this all began about two years after Don was born. At that time we were realizing what a big handful he was becoming, Don has after always been a rather social person. so your mother and I decided that we should try and have another child so they could entertain each other. However when our attempts failed we consulted a doctor about it to see if there was any problem. It turned out that your mother was no longer able to have children but still wanting to have a child we decided to go for adoption as our second option. It just so happens that you were born the exact same day as we became eligible to adopt. A few days later we received a call saying that there was a child up for adoption and that they were interested in meeting us to discuss the possibility of adopting you out to us. Me and you mother… we were ecstatic to say the least. When we met your biological family however we found out the reasons for putting you up for adoption and we were shocked. However the minute we saw you we made up our mind and we agreed to adopt you. Your family however had some rather unusual conditions to this. One was that we had to move straight after, two was that we had to change you name but not tell them either your new name or location and three was that you were not to go looking for them."

"Wow, dad do you know what Charlie's birth name is?" Don asked as he tried to process this information.

"Yeah but do want to know Charlie because I wont tell you unless you want me too," dad asked worriedly. It had always been like that, dad putting Charlie's well being first and Don could tell that was never going to change.

"Yeah go ahead; I want to know as well." Charlie answered now with depression creeping into his voice. Seeing this Don moved over to sit next to Charlie before wrapping his arm around Charlie's waist and Charlie rested against him. Ever since Charlie had been helping out more with the FBI they had grown closer and had become each others best friend and because of this he had gotten more and more comfortable in displaying affection towards him than towards anyone else he had ever met.

"Your name real name is David Ramanujan."

So what do you think? If you don't review I wont update also if you want me to add or change something tell me and I will see what I can do. Bye for now!
