A/N: Ooooh, yes. Doing the one hundred theme challenge~~

And since that's a LOT of drabbles, I'm going to tell you at the beginning what pairing and rating each story is, so you can skip ones you don't want to read. (Like, if you don't like K2, you can just jump to the next chapter.)

Title of each drabble is the word used from the list.

Here's the low down for this one:

Pairing: Style
Rating: K

"O-ow! That hurts!"

Stan looked up at Kyle and cocked an eyebrow at how the latter hiccupped, desperately trying to hold back tears. He could seem them, clear as daybreak, shinning in his emerald eyes. And even if he were blind and could see nothing but the forever darkness of his own skull, Stan knew what it meant when Kyle hiccupped.

With a jerk of his hands, Stan glanced back down at Kyle's knee. It bled, still, even after he applied a cold wash rag to it and bitched at it to stop. Kyle had bitched at it too, in between his hiccups, dropping oaths each and every single time it throbbed in pain or Stan even stared at it wrong.

But they were only six. And falling from a bicycle hurt. A lot. So Stan couldn't find the heart to be mad at him, though Kyle snapped at him and said bad words about him. He didn't let him bug him because Kyle was his best friend and he knew since he was four that Kyle didn't mean those things.

That anger wasn't true anger-just a distraction, a way Kyle tried to ignore his urge to cry. It worked well enough, Stan guessed. He hadn't seen Kyle cry in a long time. Not since his parents first brought Ike home and told him he had a baby brother to look out for and set a good example.

Stan stuck the bandage over Kyle's knee, gently pressing down so it'd stick right and wouldn't fall off when he helped Kyle limp home. Kyle made a sound, winced, but, this time, didn't hiccup.

After all, Big Brothers aren't supposed to cry in front of their little brothers.

Or their best friends, Stan thought, smiling. When he straightened up and offered Kyle his hands so he could ease him up off the dirt, Kyle refused and stood up on his own. Stan caught the twist of pain in his brow but let him stand on his own, without the aid of his steadying hands.

Big Brothers don't need help either. Big Brothers stand tall even though they hurt and they don't cry even though they really want too, because Big Brothers have to set good examples for their little brothers.

And Stan knew Kyle meant to set the best example out of all the Big Brothers out there.
