This is a short short I wrote while killing time before class. It's not the best thing in the world by any means but I thought I'd post it anyway. I'll revise it later, but until then enjoy!
It seems like no matter how hard I try he'll never see me as an equal. I fight by his side every day, save my brothers when they are in trouble, and it's not enough. All I want, all I've ever wanted, was to be equal with him. But I guess that's too much to ask.
My emotions rule my judgment no matter how hard I try to keep them in check. I often leave my bros behind and engage the enemy. This is for many reasons but he chooses to see only one: I'm a hothead. Though this is true, it's no the whole story. Yes my temper is something not to be trifled with, but there's more to it than that. I wish to prove myself. I'm just as good as him. My skills are the same. But I don't think he sees this.
I'm always being scolded for my rash actions by him and it really ticks me off. He's not my superior by any means and I really wish he'd stop acting like it. He's my peer, my brother, and my equal. End of story. Damn him and his perfect nature. He thinks he's so hot with all knowledge and now that he's enlightened…well, I won't even go there.
One day I'll prove myself to him. Maybe by defeating him in training, or winning a fight by myself, or by knocking some sense into him. Whatever the choice may be I'll show him that contrary to his beliefs we are equal. I am younger than him by a few minutes, possibly even a few seconds, but Leo and I are the same through and through.
