Wanted to thank one more follwer! Chishi Neko! They msged me wile I was writing my last chapter so I didn't get to read it, but I AM putting a few of there ideas into this one! :D
_be the worried best friend_
You catch up to Bro half way down the hallway. He seemed more worried then you but you knew that wasn't it. Was it? No. This was Bro, he was chill with everything. But you could tell by the way his muscles bunched under his shirt and the fact he forgot his hat, that he wasn't chill. Most certainly not.
"Hey Bro wait up!" You called as you ran. He heard you and slowed down a little turning to look at you then kept walking. You grumbled and caught up to him putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Bro-"
"How bad did he say John was?" He asked with so much worry in his voice you would think he was talking about a school full of 5 year olds in a fire rather then your dork best friend.
"Um.. He stopped breathing, a few burns, nothing too bad. He can't really talk though." You inform your older Bro. He runs a hand down his face over his shades. He was…sad? Oh. You knew now. How could you not know before? John was always denying you when you teased him about Bro but he always blushed. Bro was getting more ninja like when ever John came over. Hiding and shit. You felt stupid. Your best friend and your brother. A thing. It was hardly illegal. John would turn 18 in about two months. Bro was upset because he was worried about John, his boyfriend.
"Bro?" You needed to make sure. He sat down in a chair against the wall and you sat next to him patting his shoulder.
"You and John?…" You said as less as possible because Bro could still be arrested if any dick found out. He sighed and nodded, understanding your question. You looked down and heard foot steps beside you.
"I'm going to go check on him." Karkat told you before walking off. Bro looked up at you.
"You-you're not mad?" He asked. You sighed again and looked down, not really sure how you felt about it. Were you mad? You thought about it for what seemed like forever then finally decided that no. No you weren't mad. He was happy and John was happy, that's all that mattered to you.
"No." Was all you said. He didn't ask why. He was probably thanking you inwardly and thankful you were ok with him and his choice in guys. He relaxed slightly and stood up. The nurse had told you the room number and it replayed in your head. You stood up with him and walked with him down the hall way.
-be bro-
He was okay with it. Thank god..
You opened the door to John's room and he was talking to a grumpy karkat who wasn't as grumpy. They stopped and looked at you. He looked pale. The small freckles on his nose showing more with the lack of color on his face. His black hair was of course messy and he had a few slight burns on his arms and leg. His hand was wrapped up and you could see a glimpse of blister at the edge of it. His throat looked a tiny bit swollen. He smiled a little at you and you ran over to his side and wrapped him in your arms tightly, but trying not to hurt him. He embraced you even tighter and he was shaking slightly. You pet the back of his head and peppered kisses all over his face.
"Fuck John.." You breathed out. He put a hand on your cheek and ran his thumb over your cheek and it soothed you considerably. You smile a little, his eyes weren't scared like you thought they'd be. They were full of happiness. You were confused, way to confused by this.
Dave cleared his throat.
"Mr. E is coming." You stood up and switched places with Dave who was now hugging his best bro. You only saw Mr. Egbert once, in a picture John use to bring over when ever he spent the night because he was to scared. You remember how small he'd been next to his father in the picture and always thought he was a tall man, but when he walked in he was only up to your chin in height. You were surprised at how much he looked like his son. He didn't look as close when you saw the picture, but then again that was almost ten years ago. Mr. Egbert stood in the door looking at every one.
"Hello David, Karkat." They both waved.
"Sup Mr. E." He greeted John's father. He looked at you for a moment with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Who is-?"
"This is my Bro." You stick your hand out and Mr. E takes it. He gives you a big manly shake and wow he has a grip. When he lets go you quickly pull your hand away. Mr. E looks from you to Dave then to John. He walks to the other side of the bed with out saying a word to you. He looked familiar. He sat beside John and held his hand.
"Son, for the time being… you're going to have to stay with your Nanna. I will also be there but I've got to find a new place for us, or help with repairs." Mr. E told him. John didn't say anything just nodded. You almost smiled. You knew who that was. How could you not?
