Kevin's POV
I looked over my incredulous features in my bathroom mirror. I had never seen my lips curve in such a way. I had never been so happy.
"Is this really happening?" I whispered to myself. I looked down to my hands that gripped a blue wash cloth. I watch my hands closely, as I slowly inched the warm fabric under the cold tap water. I moved the cloth from side to side; making sure to get it completely wet. I looked to my reflection again.
"I told him." I breathed, still not believing that I told the love of my life that I truly loved him. I turned off the tap before shuffling back into my bedroom where he sat on my green comforter.
He sat Indian style on my twin bed, his hands fiddling in his lap. I stopped only a few feet in front of him, unable to move any further because I was so overtaken by his beauty. The way his cheek bones framed his flawless face or the way his defined abs accented his perfectly tan skin. I was mesmerized by the slight tilt of his head and how his raven hair fell in his eyes; blocking my view of their warm, chocolate color.
"Joe?" I breathed, watching as his eyes rose to meet mine. Tears still streaked his cheeks and I could see a tint of purple beginning to form under his left eye. My thumbs began to throb as I stretched my hands towards him. He gently took the blue cloth from my hands and brought it to his left eye, pressing it to the bruising skin. My thumbs began to pulse harder; angry at my decision not to drag them over his tear stained cheeks. I made quick fists with my hands, stunting their eager need of pained flesh.
"Sit." Joe spoke, his voice tearing me from my trance. I slowly sat down on my green comforter, scooting back so I could lean against my head board.
"A-are you okay?" I asked, my fingers tingling again.
"Yeah," he shrugged. "I'm fine."
"Okay." I nodded, looking aimlessly around the room.
"Kevin?" he asked, connecting gaze with me.
"Yeah?"
"H-how long have you," he paused for a deep breath. "had feelings for me?" I stared blankly at him for a few seconds, my hands beginning to sweat. I slowly sat up and my fingers gripped at my pant leg.
"Six months before you and Nick got together." I whispered. "That's when I fell in love with you."
"Y-you had feelings for me f-for over a year?" his voice shook.
"Have." I corrected. "I have feelings for you; and they've stuck for over a year."
"Oh, Kevin." he breathed, causing me to look up at him. Tears were falling from his eyes again. He shifted onto his knees and crawled towards me, reaching over my legs to set the wash cloth on my nightstand, before scooting into my lap. I stretched out my legs and allowed him to lay against my chest, wrapping his arms around my waist. One of my anxious hands moved to rest against his bare lower back, while the other ran through his hair.
"Now I know why you always fought with Nick." he whispered, squeezing my waist. "You hated seeing me with him; kiss him. I'm so sorry."
"D-don't be sorry." I said, resting my chin atop his head. "You loved him."
"I thought I did." he sighed.
We sat like this for the next twenty minutes; my numb fingers running through his hair and resting against his back; while his body laid on top of mine, his head pressed against my chest and his arms wrapped around my waist.
"Joe?" I said, breaking the silence.
"Hmm?" he hummed.
"A little while ago, you told me something," I trailed off.
"Okay?" he answered, tilting his head up to look at me.
"B-but I don't know if you want to talk about it or if I should even be asking you about this."
"What is it, Kevin?" he asked, arching his back, resting his elbows against my thighs.
"You said that you didn't like being touched," I said, observing his features. "You said that Nick knew you didn't like it. I'm worried that the reason he knows is because he caused you pain." I watched as Joe's face contorted and I felt him cringe. He whimpered loudly against his tears and fell against my chest, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist. I quickly wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pressed my cheek to the top of his head.
"Shh." I hushed, rubbing my fingers into his skin. "I'm sorry I asked." I whispered, cursing at myself for making him upset.
"He forced me to have sex with him, Kevin." Joe cried, pressing his nose into my shirt. "D-Dad walked in on us and I thought he was going to stop Nick from hurting me, b-but all he did w-was j-join us." he cringed again. Tears flooded my eyes as Joe continued to cry.
"Kevin?" he breathed, arching his back so he could stare back at me through his cloudy eyes. "D-Dad hurt me and Nick helped." his voice cracked at our brother's name.
"Joseph." I sighed, bringing a hand to his cheek. He quickly grabbed my wrist and crawled off the bed, yanking me to my feet. He pulled me into the middle of the room before slipping his hand from my wrist and placing his hands on my hips.
"N-Nick grabbed my hips," he shook, his fingers wrapping around my hip bones. "a-and pulled me against him." he backed up into the nearest wall, before yanking me against him, our bodies colliding. "H-he held me against h-his n-naked body," Joe wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, pressing his face into my neck. "while D-dad raped me f-from behind; slamming me against Nick every time he would e-enter me." he whispered, his grip on my waist loosening.
"Oh God, Joe." I said, my insides churning. "I'm so sorry." I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and let a few tears fall from my eyes.
"It hurt so bad, Kevin." Joe choked on his tears. "I was going to leave Nick, but he threatened to hurt me again if I didn't stay with him. He made me play the part of being in love so you wouldn't think anything was wrong." he tensed and pressed his face harder into my shoulder. "Everything is wrong, Kevin. I-I tried killing myself, b-but mom found me on the bathroom floor b-before I lost too much blood. S-she didn't tell anyone because I begged her not to. Kevin, I can't live like this anymore."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The love of my life; my sweet brother tried committing suicide. This broken boy, I was holding in my arms, wouldn't be here if my mother hadn't found him dying on the bathroom floor. The tears poured from my eyes as I realized how much he needed me.
"Please, Kevin." Joe sobbed against my soaked shirt. "Please love me."
"A-Always." I said, pulling him towards my bed. I sat down on the edge of the mattress and Joe sat down in my lap; straddling my legs.
"Keep me alive, Kevin." he said, softly. "I want to be with you forever."
"W-What?" I asked, shocked. Joe pulled back and took my face in his hands.
"You're the only one who has truly loved me, Kevin. I want to be loved unconditionally and I want to give that to someone else. I want to give that to you. It may take me some time to get back to my normal self, but I want you to know that I am yours even if I might not seem like it for a while." I sat speechless; my arms limp at my sides.
"Kevin?" he chuckled; his tears slowing.
"I love you." I said, incredulously.
"I love you too." he laughed; the corner of his eyes crinkling as he smiled. My shaking hands slithered around Joe's waist before they found his lower back. My throbbing fingers rubbed into his smooth skin as I looked up into his happy eyes. Then, I watched as his features softened; the thoughts in his mind relaxing his muscles. His eyes flashed from my lips back to my eyes as his face inched closer. I felt his thumbs press into my cheeks as his lips sat only a breath away from mine. My eyelids sunk and I looked to his parted lips; awaiting the fireworks that would spark my everlasting love.
But when his lips were finally pressed deep into mine; it was nothing like fireworks. It was like World War III was taking place between our lips. Bombs were exploding and nuclear flairs were being shot deep into my brain; flashing against the back of my eyelids. Kissing Joe was just like I had dreamt it; only better.
"Mmph." Joe grunted as he pulled from the kiss. He gently wrapped his arms around my shoulders and nuzzled his face into my neck. I leaned my head against his and ran my fingers over his muscular back; sighing as I pressed my lips to the shell of his ear.
"Time for bed?" I whispered.
"Yeah." he breathed into my neck, sending a chill down my spine. I kept my arms tight around Joe's waist as I stood from the bed; allowing him to wrap his legs around my waist. I turned back towards the twin bed and gently laid Joe down on the comforter, but when I went to pull away, he kept his arms and legs tightly wrapped around my torso.
"Joseph," I laughed. "I have to get my pajamas on."
"No you don't." he whined, trying to pull me on top of him.
"Don't make me take you back to your room, Joseph." I warned, grabbing his hips and detaching him from my body. He slightly bounced on the mattress as his body slammed onto the comforter.
"You wouldn't do that." he whined, pouting his bottom lip.
"No, but I got you to let go of me." I chuckled, shuffling across the room to my dresser. I pulled open the top drawer and extracted a pair of plaid pajama pants. I quickly pulled down my jeans and kicked them off next to the dresser before pulling on my pajama pants; making sure to overly shake my hips as I pulled them up.
"Putting on a show, are we?" Joe chuckled from the bed.
"Are you enjoying it?" I asked, looking over my shoulder to see him sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Wouldn't you like to know." he smirked, a slight pink caressing his cheeks.
"Blushing, are we?" I mocked, as I turned away from my dresser and walked towards him.
"Shut up." he laughed, scooting back on the bed; spreading his legs apart.
"Sit." he smiled, patting the space between his legs. I looked down to his spread legs, trailing up his sweatpants to his inner thighs. I gulped as I sat down on the edge of the bed; my cheeks burning as he scooted forward, pressing his crotch into my throbbing lower back. Then, I felt his fingers tug at the hem of my tee before he leaned forward, pressing his lips against the shell of my ear.
"Blushing, are we?" he husked, sinking his soft lips to the skin behind my ear. I felt his breath huff against my neck as he leaned back, pulling my tee up to my armpits. I hesitantly lifted my arms above my head and allowed him to rid me of the thin fabric. Joe tossed the shirt beside my discarded jeans and then slowly wrapped his muscular arms around my waist. I reached down and gripped his claves, pulling his feet into my lap. I ran my hands over his cotton covered legs while he pressed a cheek to my bare back.
"Wow." I breathed.
"Hmm?" Joe hummed, rubbing his cheek into my back.
"How is it that you can go from sobbing to sexual so quickly?" I asked, making Joe laugh.
"I've had to deal with that story for a while, Kevin. It's just hard to talk about; that's why I got so emotional. I didn't want either of us going to bed thinking about it; I wanted us to fall asleep on a good note. And, if being sexual does that, then I'll be sexual." he chuckled.
"You're incredible." I smiled, looking over my shoulder to his raven hair. He slowly looked up to me, pressing his chin into my shoulder. He gently wrapped his arms tighter around my waist, pulling himself forward to press his lips against mine. The nuclear flares flashed against the back of my eyelids again and sparks would shock my lips every time our lips would part. I slowly pulled from the kiss; opening my eyes to see that Joe's still sat closed, his mouth ajar.
"You're so beautiful." I whispered, turning over in his lap. Joe's eyes finally fluttered open as I straddled his legs and cupped his cheeks in my hands. I leaned in to kiss him, but I felt a finger press against my lips. I opened my eyes to see Joe smirking back at me; his index finger restraining my needy lips.
"Bed time." he whispered, making me groan. He lightly chuckled as he laid my head back on the pillows. He pulled down on the comforter and crawled under it before snuggling into my side; wrapping his arms around my waist. I sighed before wrapping my arms around his shoulders; tilting my head so I could rest it atop his.
"I love you, Kevin." he spoke sleepily.
"I love you too." I smiled, still incredulous to the fact that any of this was happening. Before I slipped into a peaceful sleep with my brother, I allowed a few tears to fall from my eyes. My life is complete.
