U.
"You just don't understand!" Raoul yelled in frustration.
He was throwing a fit and he knew it. He turned away from his brother to hide the shameful tears that clung to the corner of his eyes. He'd never felt so helpless in his life. How many times had they been over this? How many times had he tried to explain that Erik was important to him, that Erik was necessary in his life, that Erik...?
Raoul sighed. Philippe had always been the only person whose opinion counted. He relied on his brother because Philippe was the only family he knew, and he couldn't let that go. He couldn't let Erik go either.
Running a hand through his hair, Raoul sighed. He didn't know how to get through to Philippe. He didn't know if it was possible. They'd been yelling at each other for hours now. This was the third break in the yelling match, and Raoul wondered if he could continue like this.
Philippe, however, calmed down. He had seen the tears in Raoul's eyes, and he realized that he was hurting his brother. That thought made every other consideration disappear.
"Then help me understand, Raoul."
Raoul slumped against the nearest wall feeling his legs give way. Why was he so willing to fight so much for Erik? Why...?
He whispered the words he just realized were true. "I love him."

I've actualy already incorporated this one into a story already. It had to be adjusted though. (So, I guess this shouldn't have been by itself... hmm) Check out the Time series.
