Author's note: This started as one small segment and it almost wrote itself. Be forewarned, some chapters are shorter than others. At the moment, it is complete at 8 chapters. I might be able to add a few more before it's all posted.
For the story to work, there's 9 years difference between Billy and Tim.
I do not own any of the character nor do I own anything of Friday Night Lights.

Chapter 1
Billy 12, Tim 3
Billy buried his face deeper into his pillow in a poor attempt to drown out his parents arguing. A quick glance at the clock told him it was one in the morning. Great. Dad had just come back from his business trip drunk and penniless, and mom wasn't all that pleased. He was just falling back to sleep when he heard small footsteps out in the hall followed by the slight creaking of the opening door.
Tim peered around the door, motionless as he decided what to do next. "Billy, are you sleeping?" His small voice was barely heard over the yelling that filtered in from the living room. Billy silently cursed, he was too tired to play the big brother right now but after one sideways glance, he didn't have the heart to send him away either.
Without turning to face his little brother, Billy lifted the side of the blankets beside him. "Close the door will you, I'm trying to sleep." Tim did so as quietly as he could, instantly cutting the noise volume in half. He hurriedly climbed into bed next to his older brother. Tim shuffled around a bit, making himself comfortable but was asleep soon after. Billy listened to the yelling for a little longer, then he listened to his brother's even breathing before he too drifted off to sleep.
