Three months later…
"Eragon, get that box. It has the computer screen in it so be careful." Murtagh grunted as he picked up the next box. It had the computer itself in it. He made sure to put it down right side up and when he did he heard a crash outside that couldn't be good.
He raced out side to find a guilty looking Eragon staring at a broken computer screen. Eragon looked up and gave Murtagh a smile.
Murtagh just stared at Eragon and shook his head. The smile quickly ran off Eragon's face and Murtagh just said "pick it up and put it in the dumpster. And for Gods sake if it's too heavy just say so."
"I'm sorry, you told me to pick it up and bring it in. That's what I tried to do." Eragon said to his older brother. "It wasn't to heavy it just slipped. If anything, it's your entire fault for getting slippery boxes."
"Yeah, you know, I think you are right!" Murtagh said with a small smirk.
"I am?" Eragon asked suspiciously. He knew that Murtagh had a history of letting him off very, very easy, but this?
"Yeah, in fact I think I better go ground myself for making you carry it. Have fun!" Murtagh turned around and mockingly turned around.
Eragon, playing along, went after him and said "No! It's all Thorn's fault for packing it wrong. That's it! You cans stay and help!"
"Speaking of the devil," Murtagh said, forgetting their game, "here he is now!"
Thorn was backing up in their new driveway. He had his new truck with him and it looked like it was going to a dump rather then a new house, with all the stuff in it. Nasuada was waving from the passenger seat and got out before the truck even stopped. She got the first thing she saw out of the back and said hi to the boys.
Over the next few hours they managed to separate things between the brothers and who would get what and what will be thrown out with the computer screen. Murtagh ended up getting Morzan's old screen while Eragon got his Murtagh's old one.
Murtagh and Thorn moved the big couch into the living room and the smaller couch into Murtagh's room.
"Why can't I have a couch?" Eragon asked.
"Well, you have the biggest bed." Murtagh said.
To celebrate the move the friends went for pizza at Papa Gino's. Eragon of course ordered pepperoni pizza and they others order bacon and cheese. Murtagh thought for a moment that maybe Thorn and Eragon should get their own table and leave Nasuada and himself alone.
In the last few months Murtagh realized that he was growing feelings for Nasuada. He knew he shouldn't have a crush on her while Eragon did but he couldn't help it.
To ignore his feelings he listened to Thorn go on about one of his many girl friends, which Murtagh tried to ignore at first, and Eragon was very into. When he became bored out of his mind with it, He listened to a girl a in a blue shirt and pants a few booths down go on about how it was unfair that Mr. Blagden failed her.
"Can we go please? I'm a bit tired." Eragon asked in the next few minutes. He did look very tired.
"Sure, let me just get the food in a box." said Nasuada.
She got up and moved to the counter to get the box. When she came back the family of the girl got up and moved past them. The mother stopped and looked at the group of people at the table. She had a motherly look on her face and she looked like the type of person who was strict but very kind.
"Hello dears, I haven't seen you around." The women said.
"Well, we just moved here today actually. Well, I and my brother did." Murtagh said pointing to Eragon and thinking, what the hell! Who is this lady?
"Oh that's nice, what are your names?" the lady asked. She might have been nice but it was very clear that she was insane. To put it nicely.
"My name is Murtagh and this is Eragon. And these are my friends Nasuada and Thorn." Murtagh introduced.
Before the lady could answer back the girl asked "Aren't you the person who killed your father?" to Eragon.
Eragon opened his mouth and tried to say something back, but evidently couldn't. But it was fine because the lady said "Now, Saphira, that's rude and if you read the rest of the story you would know why!"
"Story?" Eragon asked.
"Yes, dear in the paper, you two have been all over it." The mother of Saphira said. "Are you going to school around here, Eragon? I heard you are going to Harvard, Murtagh, that's really impressive." The lady asked as if they were old friends. She was starting to scare the group. Especially Eragon.
"Yes, I am I'm going to The Varden. It's supposed to a good school." Eragon said with a higher voice then normal. She rally didn't like that everyone still knew him.
"It is, Saphira goes there. She's in 9th grade too! Maybe you'll have some classes together! Well, I have to go. Maybe I'll see you around." The lady said
The family left. The girl, Saphira, was the first one out. She was probably really embarrassed by her mother. Who wouldn't?
"Are you all right, Eragon?" Nasuada asked in a worried voice.
"No! Can we just go home, please?" he was almost in tears. Murtagh knew that he cried much too often to be embarrassed over it any more, but that was in private. He knew that he would be even more humiliated to find that he was in tears in front of his crush.
"Of, course, come on." Murtagh left Eragon in the car while he walked the other two to the truck. "He'll be fine, don't worry."
"If it helps, tell him that I like sensitive men!" Nasuada joked. Though Murtagh clung to the piece of information, hoping it was true.
"I'll see you in a few then." Murtagh said, waving good-bye to Thorn.
Murtagh walked back to his car, which was a Mercedes. Eragon had once asked if they were going to be low on money now and Murtagh said "don't worry about. We have enough, even if I didn't get a job." It was true. They had money from the government to pay for Eragon, the money they get for Morzan being dead, and any money that he will make at his part time job.
It wasn't like they could pack up for Italy, but they could buy expensive things a bit.
"You okay, hun?" Murtagh asked. "She didn't mean to upset you. She was just being friendly."
"I know. I just become upset over the stupidest things." Eragon answered and turned the radio on to his favorite station.
Murtagh drove home in silence. He was worried over Eragon. He hasn't been acting like himself. He didn't like the comfort that Murtagh tried to give him sometimes. Even though Eragon knew it would help, he still didn't want it, saying he was too old to be coddled.
Murtagh was of another opinion. He knew that Eragon liked the feeling of being close to him since in the past it always made him feel safe. He thought that Eragon was probably watching too much TV and will get over it quickly.
That night it was proven to be true.
Around one in the morning Murtagh was awoken by Eragon rolling over in his sleep. Murtagh sat up and looked at Eragon as though making sure that it was really him. It obviously was and Murtagh mentally kicked himself for being stupid. How many thieves fall asleep right in bed with you? None.
Murtagh put his arm around his little brother and went back to sleep.
When Murtagh woke up again Eragon wasn't in the bed. He found him in the extra room that they made into a play room for the new age. It had video games, their two computers, and a television, with cable.
In the condo they bought, there were four rooms. The other extra one was a guest room incase one of their friends would want to stay over.
"Good morning, how'd you sleep in my bed?" Murtagh said, getting right to the point. He never was one to beat around the bush if he didn't have too.
"Fine." Eragon said like it was every other morning.
"Okay… let me change that. Why were you in my bed?" Murtagh asked annoyed.
"I couldn't sleep in my room." Eragon said "I don't know why, before you ask."
"Ok" Murtagh said, "You can sleep in my room all you want just don't snore."
