Brotherly love at Best

Los Angeles, usually a fairly busy as well as noisy town, was almost dead this spring morning...at least in most parts except for the neighborhood where our story takes place. "Ahhhhhhhhh" was all that could be heard from the Seville household on this warm spring day. Alvin roared in frustration at his blue clad younger brother, the disagreement they had a short while earlier turned into a yelling fit...at least for Alvin.

Earlier in the morning, Alvin had thought that it would be a good idea to mess with Simon's chemical equipment, a less than fantastic idea to be sure. Simon had a beaker full of liquid on his desk that was a light orange color. Not really thinking about the consequences of his actions he started to mess with the beaker, adding in other liquids to the mix. Luckily Alvin's rustling had woken his younger brother in time for him to snatch away the mixture and stop the possibility of a violent chemical reaction. Simon pushed Alvin out of his room and started in on the dangers and what not. Alvin of course had taken the defensive.

"Why do you always have to be such a know-it-all Simon?" Alvin asked. "Does it ever occur to you that it's annoying?"

Simon was keeping himself calm throughout all of this. "You do everything in your power to make sure that I have to intervene and stop you", Simon stated calmly.

"Do you realize that others can get hurt in your schemes, including yourself?"he asked in a stern voice.

"I am more than capable of handling myself?" he said in a low voice. "The sooner you get that through your head the sooner we can all get along Simon", he said mocking the stern tone Simon had as he said his name.

Simon was starting to get very irritated and through clenched teeth he said"Alvin, why do you have to be so damned persistent in getting your way." Alvin almost looked shocked because of the harsh word he never heard his brother say. He just stood there mouth agape as Simon glared at him.

"I...um...I..I..", was all he managed to get out. "I can't stand being your brother", Alvin stated coldly.

This was just the straw that broke the camel's back for Simon. Without the ability to hold back his anger and irritation any longer he yelled at the top of his lungs "Oh yeah? Well I hate being yours." He proclaimed this loudly as he turned away and stomped off to his bedroom, simply leaving Alvin to stand there with his mouth open wide and tears starting to form in his eyes."......hate?" the word making Alvin cringe, still not fully able to comprehend what had just been said.

With that he just turned, walked over to the couch, and started to watch television.

A couple of hours went by, and Alvin finally came out of his zoned-out state. "I have to talk to him....", he resolved finally feeling what this whole ordeal had done to him. It felt like someone had punched him in the stomach repeatedly.

"I'm just so scared..." he said to himself as he started to walk to Simon's room.

In Simon's room, he was just simply looking at his ceiling, thinking over what he had screamed at his older brother, well by five minutes but still. Did he mean what he said about Alvin? I mean sure they fought quite a bit.....actually that's an understatement, they fought all the time practically, but did he really hate it that much."I mean, I don't hate Alvin and I know that I love him but...." his voice trailed off as he became more involved in this thought.

As he was contemplating this he heard a knock at the door.

"Si?" "I need to talk to you." A sadness Simon had never heard was present in his voice.

Reluctantly he unlocked the door and let Alvin inside his room

"Yes Alvin, what is it that you wanted?"Simon stated flatly.

"Do you really hate me?" It was almost like a whimper from a hurt dog.

"No Alvin..." he sighed, "I don't hate you."

"I just don't know what to do is all."

"I'm sorry for being a pain earlier Si", Alvin said with sincerity. This made Simon want to simply pretend that everything was going to be fine but he didn't want to fool himself.

"Listen, Alvin...I'm not even mad about earlier" Simon started " I just can't handle doing this everyday, all of the time...it's not healthy for you or for me" he said. Alvin was about to say something when Simon put his hand up to finish what he was saying "I need to say this, really I do. Alvin for the good of everyone, especially you and I, I am going to try to be as distant from you as is possible." Simon said this in concern and not in anger.

"I don't understand." Alvin was so confused.

"I can't live in this day in and day out, it will be better for both of us", He said covering up his own feelings of guilt. Alvin didn't know how to react other than "your...wrong", he trailed off becoming lost in his own thoughts. Simon reached over to put his hand on Alvin's shoulder, but his hand was smacked away. Alvin couldn't take it anymore and simply left, fearing that if he stayed any longer he would lose it.

The last thing that Simon heard was the soft clicking of Alvin's door closing shut.
