TDBM Drabble for prompt bromance or love you like sibling
"Matthew Lawson! Don't change that channel on me." Jean yells from the kitchen while getting something to nosh on.
"Aw, come on Jean, my favorite quiz show is starting." Matthew's tone almost taking on a pathetic whine.
"The last I checked this was my house and MY favorite film is on." Flipping the channel back to The Philadelphia Story Jean sits back down on the sofa.
Matthew reaches over to steal a biscuit off the plate Jean places on the coffee table, while mumbling about how many times someone needs to watch a film.
Smacking Matthew's hand away from the plate Jean scold, "get your own!"
"Oi! What happened to friendly hospitality?" That just earns him the look that burns the soul.
"You lost friendly for the day when you put a pen in the washer with your clothes."
"It was an accident!"
In silence they both watch the film. Jean hands Matthew a biscuit and he passes her the tissues. Curling up at one end of the sofa Jean spreads a blanket over herself that extends to Matthew's lap. He pulls the end over his legs.
"This really your favorite film?"
"Yes. Christopher took me to see it before he left." Jean says in a soft voice.
"Well, it's good one." Matthew says staring at the television, reaching out giving Jean's foot a small pat. "Do you think you can get the ink out of clothes?"
"I'll try but probably not."
"Don't worry about it. I'll get a new uniform shirt and buy you a new table cloth."
"Matthew?"
"Yeah Jean."
Finally able to contain her emotions enough to make eye contact with this man that has become more of a brother to her then her own Jean says, "This is your house too."
"I know Jean, thank you."
