A/N: Hullo! I was bored so I decided to write a little angsty Drabble. I actually don't know where it came from. I just sat down and it poured out of me. Its quite wierd. I also haven't proofread it, so please let me know if you catch any mistakes. I literally wrote this is in ten minutes. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

"Little brother."
That was all the introduction he had ever gotten. After all, what else was he to Don? Sure, forget about his many doctorates, his many articles, even his best-selling book. That's not really worth mentioning in an introduction.
Surely he ought to be considered something else! Oh yes, he was the "mathpuppy". You could just set him in the corner over there for a while and he'll be fine. Food and water? Nah, all he needs is chalk; he will be fine. And when you need him, just whistle and he shall come running because his only purpose in life is to serve Don. He can just drop all his classes and government work because Don is so much more important.
What would you need him for? Oh, just math. There certainly aren't types of math or anything. It's just a bunch of numbers and stuff. Don't bother paying attention, he will find you the answer anyways. It's not like he needs respect or anything. Just push the little mathpuppy into the corner when you are done with him.
And while you aren't respecting his hard work, go ahead and insult him. He totally hasn't had to deal with it his whole life. He wasn't bullied his entire school career. It doesn't hurt when you call him "geek" or "nerd" or even "whizkid". It's still a step up from "brother"-it acknowledges that he's smart.
Yeah, he actually is smart. It's a shocker. He definitely wasn't classified as a genius at an early age or anything. So go ahead and patronize him about everything. It's not like he is tens times smarter than you or anything. I mean, Don does it so it has to be okay.
And don't forget that he doesn't need credit for all the hard work he puts in for Don. He would have done it anyways, he owes it to Don. He doesn't have another full time job or own a house or anything. There are no other demands on his time, he can help. After all, he is Don's brother.
And apparently, that's all he is.
