"Earlier this night at the border of the Himalayas and New Dehli, a lifeless body was found, pinned by sharp cliff rocks. The man seemed to have jumped from the cliff side nearby and therefore committed suicide. It's not officially confirmed what happened exactly yet, but so far it looks like a suicide attempt." The news reporter said. Percy was washing the dishes home at his cabin in the Himalayas, though that was until he saw the lifeless body's face in the news. That made him put his dishes aside and walk closer to the tv, putting a hand on it, looking as shocked and as devastated as ever.

News: "This attempt was committed by a man named Peter Patterson."

"Brother?"

—

A few weeks passed after the tragic event of Percy's beloved brother, his funeral was nearly unbearable to get through. Not only because he had to be reminded of his deceased brother or that he had to be one of those to carry his casket out, but also the fact that almost none of the members of his family actually showed up. Their father wasn't there, Philippa wasn't there, even little Penny wasn't there. But at least Brenda was there, and it would also be expected that his girlfriend would attend to his brothers funeral. (Yes, it's finally official)

She knew that Percy cared a lot about his loved ones, so she wanted to come so he at least knew that she cared too.

And Peter and Percy's biogical mother Paige also got herself to show up. Percy was glad to see his actual mother again after a couple of years, but that being said he hadn't seen Peter in a long time either, so he couldn't even get a chance to say a final goodbye to him before he died. Percy was truly broken this time, more than he'd ever been before, and probably more than he'll ever be.

After Percy'd carried out the casket, he just sat behind the church to be alone and get his feelings out before his sadness would make him explode out in the open. Brenda also thought he needed some time alone, so she respected his grief and went over to join the others. Paige found him sobbing quietly into his arms, looking at him worryingly.

"Percy?" She said tenderly, not wanting to startle him. Percy quickly wiped his tears away and looked up at his mother, trying to look natural.

"Mom. What are you doing over here?" Percy asked, snuffling as discreetly as he could.

"I just wanted to check on you, how are you doing?" Paige asked carefully while sitting down next to him. Percy got mad that she'd ask that now.

"How do you think I'm doing, mother? Peter just... he just..." he couldn't get himself to say it, it was just too bad of a word to say out loud at the moment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be mad at you. I know how much he meant to you." Percy said, trying to calm himself down. "I just... can't bare the thought of him not being here anymore." Percy rested his head in his hands before dropping another tear down his arm.

"No, I... I shouldn't have asked that when I knew you were having a hard time to process all of this. I'm so sorry, Percy." Paige was talking in a very gentle and apologetic tone, which her son found very strange to hear. She was usually a very confident and fun person to be around, seeing her be this vulnerable is something Percy never thought he'd experience, but then again her son had just passed away so it was understandable enough.

"What a way to greet your son after 4 years." She said looking at Percy, ashamed of herself now. "Although there's something I'd like to ask you;" her tone suddenly got a bit more suspicious and questioning, that confused her son a little.

"Yeah?" Percy was a bit worried for some reason.

"Was it really real? You on tv with... yetis?" He knew that question would pop up from her at some point, but he still didn't feel like talking about Migo or any of the other yetis at the time being.

"Mom, now's... really not the time, okay? I'll be sure to tell you more about it another time, but right now is... just a bad time." Percy explained gently, hoping his mom would understand.

"Right, sorry. I wasn't thinking, I'm sorry." Paige said with an understanding voice. She stared at the ground for a little while before reaching into her dark magenta colored leather jacket.

"But there is something your brother wanted you to have." Paige took her hand out of an inner pocket of her jacket, holding it out in front of her son, holding a green notebook. Percy's eyes got wide as he was looking at it, that wasn't just any notebook, that was all of Peter's nature studies written down.

There was no doubt that Percy's family was facinated by things in the nature, Peter was fascinated by nature itself. All the plants, flowers, trees, bushes, there was no limit of how many things he could love about it all. Nature was his everything, the feeling it gave him to be surrounded by forest, there was nothing he'd rather do than just enjoy a morning out in the free landscape.

He was surprised to find his only notebook handed to him, Peter had everything he'd ever found out about nature in that book, he'd even added some pages in it himself because there wasn't enough in it already! It was almost an honor to receive something so meaningful.

Hesitatingly, Percy accepted it and looked at it for a minute. It hadn't changed a bit. It had the exact same scratches, the exact same coffee stains on the pages, and the exact same memorable Peter-handwrite. Percy couldn't do anything but smile at the memory of everything Peter ever talked about being in that book.

"Well, I should probably get going. It was good finally hearing your voice again." She said as she was walking towards her car, "I've really missed it." she finished off.

As that was the last to be seen of her that day, Brenda walked back over to Percy, sitting down next to him. She noticed the notebook Percy was holding.

"What's that?" She asked slightly curious.

"Oh, this is just... my brother's old notebook. My mom gave it to me." Percy was again only facing the ground. Even though he was glad to be reminded of all the good memories, it also made him even more sad. Brenda was then quiet for a moment, putting a hand on his knee.

"Have you told Migo?" Brenda asked carefully, breaking the silence. Percy lowered his eyes, making it clear for Brenda that he hadn't.

"You know he's able to see when you're upset, so you should probably tell him as soon as possible."

"Brenda, we-... I can't tell him about it, not right now." Percy said with a down-letting tone.

"Percy baby, I already told Meechee about Peter. Don't you think your best friend should know about the loss of your own brother?" As much as Percy hated to admit it, Brenda was right. He had to let him know about it soon, before he found out from someone else. But he had to get somewhat over it himself first.

"Please just tell me you told her to keep it to herself before I tell Migo."

"You know I did. But I hope that means you're gonna let him know soon."

"I will Brenda, I will. I just... need to figure out how." Percy moves his gaze back to the ground, already working out a plan for how he was gonna let him know.

Brenda didn't say anything after that, instead she just leaned up against Percy's shoulder. Percy smiled at her, and soon after, rested his head on hers.

Hey guys! I know it's been a while now since I uploaded my last story. Please forgive me, I've had a lot going on lately (I know I keep saying that, but please bare with me! I have grates, homework, a yt channel, friends, drama and a writing team to have on my mind). Believe me, I have NOT had time to make this any longer before the idea of this story -that I've finally gotten!- will disappear from my head!

Sorry about that, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this pilot episode of 'Relations', I'll be sure to upload as soon as I can, alright? This'll probably be the last story I'll be making about this theme of them being able to understand each other, because I'm running out of ideas of what to make, and I feel like I should end it off somewhat properly by making one last story with it.

Please let me know what you think of this, and hopefully it won't keep you from checking out my next chapter;)(Disclaimer: I do not know the places or anything in New Delhi or the Himalayas having sharp cliff rocks, I'm just writing it in my story!)
