It's What Brothers Do

by gaysnerdburglar

Set pre-UC1 Siblings arguing is not very uncommon among any family of any background. However, an argument of this caliber is enough to make any set of close-knit siblings want to never see one another again. or, Nate and Sam have their worst argument yet.

1. Chapter 1

To be quite honest, arguing wasn't very uncommon among the Drake brothers; they were brothers after all. They bantered, they disagreed, but usually, they made up within mere minutes of even having started the damn conversation. But this time, it was different.

The argument had started over what to Nate was trivial, but to Sam was the cause of the most uneasiness he had ever felt in his life: Sully. How they even got on the sore subject of Nate's mentor was completely forgotten and was unimportant, in all honesty. The things that were said and the insults that were made, however, were incredibly important. In fact, these words just so happened to make up possibly the worst argument the two ever had before.

Neither Nathan, nor Sam was the type to argue like this unless incredibly worked up, which with the way their lives were turning out so far, should be often, but wasn't. Actually, the two were very happy-go-lucky individuals (although Sam did a much better job of hiding this attitude). Nevertheless, neither of them seemed to be so happy-go-lucky that day.

The entire situation was ironic, really; Sam really only meant well whenever he commented on Sully's presence in Nate's life. He knew that they had never had an incident where Nate was purposefully hurt under the old man's watch, but still, seeing his underage little brother with a middle-aged man (with a mustache) was incredibly upsetting. He was meant to watch over Nathan, and it felt like he was failing at miserably.

So Sam left.

The reasons as to why Sam left were very understandable: the things that were coming out of his brother's mouth were upsetting. The things that were coming out of his own mouth were upsetting. However, leaving his kid brother mid-argument without so much as another word may not have been the smartest idea.

Not that he could have seen it, but the aftermath of him leaving was terrible. After he had left, Nate was a complete mess; he cried, bawled his eyes out, even managed to break a few things in his complete distress, but what came after the argument, was worse.

After Nathan had managed to pull himself together enough to look presentable, he, of course, made to go see Sully, maybe tell him about the whole situation. Sully almost always had some sort of advice or helpful comment on pretty much anything; he was an old man after all.

And, much more helpful than Sam could be.
