"Gilbert could you come down here!" The familiar voice of Gilbert's father called from down stairs. Gilbert huffed, reluctantly throwing the book aside trudging down. There was the oh so familiar sight of his father in his work outfit leaning over looking at a paper as his younger brother sat patiently for the response of what he needed to work on.

"Yeah? Im kinda busy." Gilbert huffed.

"Work called they need someone to take day shift so could you please take care of your brother while i'm out kiddo." His father sighed.

"Yeah yeah. Baby needs watching." Gilbert huffed.

"You should be happy to take care of your brother Gil. You two can get to know each other better than you locking yourself up in your room." His father huffed.

"I would if he weren't a needy mess." Gilbert huffed. His father frowned.

"You two are still brothers please try to get along without another incident." His father grumbled.

"Just cause we're related doesn't mean i have to like him." Gilbert growled. "Besides, maybe i'm happy living in my shell."

"Gil you used to be so out going what changed?" His father sighed.

"Lots of things changed. New house, new school, losing all previous friends, Oh, and him." Gilbert grumbled.

"Kiddo. At your age i had moved to so many different places and meet lots of people. This is a new place you can forget all your past worries and start over with people. You should be happy to have a brother. Thier sometimes the only one's that got your back." His father sighed.

"I've given up on siblings. In case you forgot i had someone i cared about. You know, a twin sister, but oh, she left me too. What's the point in putting that into him." Gilbert growled.

"Your sister is with your mother she didn't leave you i just didn't have enough evidence to get her as well, you know this. Plus i'm sure your mother is more help to her than i could be. You have a little brother you should be happy you still have one of them to keep you company. And plus im sure your sister will visit when she's able to." His father huffed.

"Oh really. And when will that be." Gilbert huffed, turning to go back up the stairs.

"Gil. You know it's not my choice when she can and can not. It's your mother's. So don't get an attitude with me." His father said.

"And what would you know, about getting torn from someone you spent your life with." Gilbert hissed.

"I know more than you think kiddo. And one thing i know is if you two had a strong relationship you'll find eachother again." His father sighed.

"And just hoping will bring us back together, hmm?" Gilbert hissed.

"Hope is helpful but it'll make more sense when it happens alright kiddo. I know the feeling more than you know." His father said.

"Of course. You understand everything!" Gilbert called mockingly, stomping up.

"Gil!" His father huffed following after him. "I don't have time for your fits."

"You don't have time for me in general! But you have plenty of time for him! So why waste your precious time on me!" Gilbert hissed. "It would be so much easier on everyone if i just got picked up by someone and left this damn place. I bet you wouldn't even look for me. Nor should you."

"Gilbert that's not true! You know this." His father huffed.

"I might even be tempted to do it just to see… anyway don't you have a favorite to tend to." Gilbert growled, starting towards the front door.

"Gilbert i don't have favorites you should know this by how many times i've said this" His father sighed.

"Yet you don't do much to prove it." Gilbert hissed.

"Gil." His father sighed. "You know why i spend so much time with Sep is because he needs help sometimes. Nothing else. I love you both equally."

"You shouldn't lie. At least not to yourself." Gilbert scoffed, leaving with a slam. His father sighed used to Gilbert storming out of the house.

"I'll be home later okay Sep. Till them just work on those problems." His father said

"Will brother come back?" Septhis asked.

"Of course he always does just like i do. He just needs to cool down." His father sighed.

"Okay… Bye…" Septhis sighed.

"Bye kiddo see you when i get home." His father said before leaving for work.
