Syrus walked slowly to the lighthouse his brother always went to do his thinking. Syrus knew he was going to be there, so…why was he walking so slowly?

Because he was scared out of his wits. He kept telling himself that nothing was going to happen. At least nothing bad was going to happen. But the more Syrus told himself that, the less and less he seemed to believe it. He kept repeating in his mind: Nothing wrong is going to happen. You're just going to get his attention and just tell him you're gay. Then, if you're lucky, he'll go back to being the regular old Zane.

But, in a way, Syrus didn't want Zane to be the same. Especially after Syrus told his big brother how he loved to stare at men. Syrus only wanted Zane's respect and acceptance. Those two things. He never begged Zane for anything, not even when it was life-or-death. But, even when Syrus did do something right, it got looked over by Zane.

Now, most people would say, "What a horrible older brother!" and maybe even his parents would stick up for Sy and say, "Show you're little brother some respect!" Unfortunately, it was mostly the other way around. People sometimes sneered at the poor little brother who could never be like his successful elder sibling. And when Syrus wanted to tell Zane something that was really good, his parents would yell at him. Saying how Zane didn't need to hear anything that stupid when he was busy.

Syrus stopped for a moment to wipe away a tear that hadn't fallen yet. He could almost see the lighthouse and the silhouette of the person he respected and wished to be like the most. And the place where he tried to run away on a raft.

That was one of Syrus's ultimate 1ows. He had done something stupid and thought running away from the tag-team match that was his and Jaden's punishment would make things better. It didn't. It showed how weak Syrus really was. But, running away when he was scared or uncertain was how he lived his life. With almost no love in Syrus's life, he had to resort to other ways of finding safety or comfort. Even if it was as extreme as running away on a little raft that would inevitably break in the middle of the ocean and cause Syrus to drown to death.

He was closer now. Now Syrus could tell for certain that it was his brother standing there, looking over the ocean. Deep in thought. Syrus was also deep in thought. About how Zane might react to Syrus's coming out.

Well, there were about three possibilities. One was that Zane fully accepted Syrus being gay and there being a big hug a Zane being nice. Okay…maybe that's a little too farfetched.

Another was that Syrus was showed the same indifference and semi-hatred that he was always shown. The last was Zane going to extremes and, possibly, killing him or scarring Syrus for the rest of his life.

I really hope its reaction 'B'.

Syrus was at the lighthouse base now. Zane still hadn't noticed him. Again. The cold shoulder, indifferent stare, hatred-filled scowl, Syrus was used to all forms of Zane's acknowledge or dis-acknowledgement. He had gotten them many a time in his so far short lifetime. Syrus came closer to his brother. "Z-Zane?" Syrus called softly.

The dark blue haired boy turned his head. "What are you doing here?" Zane said a little coldly. His dark eyes were boring holes into the shorter boy's head.

"Well, um…I-I need to tell you s-something important" Syrus stammered out.

Zane turned back to face the ocean and crossed his arms. "Go ahead."

But I wanted to tell you to your face, not your back. "Well" Syrus continued, keeping the comment in his head right where it popped up. "Zane, I know this may come as a shock to you, but now matter what you do, remember that I never meant for you to be scorned or disgusted or anything like that!"

Zane was silent for a moment before responding, "I'll keep that in mind."

"O-Okay…um…" Maybe it was better that Zane's back was turned towards Syrus. That glare would've made him turn to jelly. "Z-Zane…I-I'm gay."

Silence. For the next few minutes there was nothing but the tension filled air between the two brothers. Eventually, after some period of time that felt like two eternities, Zane turned around completely. His hands were tightly balled fists at his side and his face was full of shock. "What did you say?" Zane asked silently.

"I'm gay" Syrus repeated.

Again, silence. All that could be heard was the roaring sea in the background, the sea birds high above cawing out to their friends. But to Syrus, he could hear the yelling that would soon come from his beloved older brother, the disappointment in his voice. And the increasing heartbeat of Syrus's heart, seeming to beat twice the normal amount of time a minute.

"Is…is this a joke?" Zane asked seriously, his voice rising a little.

"NO! I would never joke about something this serious!" Syrus exclaimed coming less than an arms reach from the taller boy in front of him. A bad move.

A fist went straight into Syrus's pale face. The poor boy went flying onto his side; his glasses went flying of in some other direction. Pain radiated from the struck cheek. A hand went up to feel the damage, but pulled away once knives dug into his cheek. Syrus groped for his glasses, and found that one of the lenses had been smashed.

"Get out of my sight, faggot" Zane whispered as Syrus put on his broken glasses. Syrus was more than happy to oblige.

Syrus didn't even wait to fully get up, he ran as fast as his little feet could take him. All the while, silent tears streamed down his face. While running, he passed, and nearly ran into, Alexis. The blonde Obelisk Blue girl who was friends with Zane. She stopped and watched as Syrus ran away from his brother until the bluenette was out of sight. She then walked up to Zane and asked, "Why was your brother crying?"

Zane responded coldly, "I have no brother."

SY-SY: zane is horrible! (sob)

me: how dare you! (hits zane in back of head)

ZANE: you're the one that wrote it!

JADEN: i say we revolt, zane!

ZANE: down with ac!

me: uh-huh, yeah. well, long as i keep sy-sy

SY-SY: will things get better?

me: oh, dont worry sy-sy, the story shall have a happy ending!

SY-SY: )

me: see you next chappie!
