Chapter 20 Weekends
Deuce POV
How could his not be freaked out after all I had told him, he still doesn't believe that Zeus was after me. He thought that I am just some scared child that wasn't used to being in a big house by myself. It is total bullshit! I'm not making this up and I'm not blowing this out of proportion like dad and mom said. They all thought that I'm losing it.
The one person that believe me, I love more than life but no one would believe her either."Knock that off I don't think that you are a nutcase, now eat." I looked up from my thoughts to see my brother's blue gaze holding me.
As he threw a large portion of food onto my plate before digging into his own food. I frowned down at my plate before staring absently at him. He's even treating me like a child, to him, this is just another day of babysitting for him.
"Jeez, Deuce would you stop please, I don't think that you are lying about the Zeus thing but I think that it is rather annoying that you are letting it consume your every waking thought." His voice sounded both aggravated and worried as his blue gaze hardens with worry.
I really didn't know what to say so I bowed my head just mulling over what he said. Zeus didn't consume my waking thought but it's not like I can just pretend that there isn't a power hungry god after me. "You don't even realize that you are doing it, your leg has been shaking a thousand miles a minute. Chill I got you, little brother."
He strong and reassuring voice washed over me in calming waves as I frowned slightly at him though we might have sounded sure of himself that doesn't mean that I should blindly believe him.
But as I looked down at my leg I could see it shaking to the point that I could barely make out a clear image of it. How long had I been doing this? Hoe have I night noticed? I willed my leg to stop, and as it slowly started to go back to normal I looked back up to the table.
On my white paper plate laid a mountain of golden yellow eggs staring at me and as my stomach began to rumble this overwhelming urge to eat ran over me. As I scope in a large forkful into my mouth I stare skeptically at my brother.
The thought of him having my back is laughable I mean really what has he ever done for me other than make my life hell. I scoffed to myself earning me a raise golden eyebrow as confusion filled his gaze.
"You having my back?" I let out a clipped laugh as I continued to speak "All you have ever done is make my life worse." I frown took over his face as his gaze darken with doubt and anger.
"I don't live to run your life so don't say that again, sure I pick on you from time to time but in case you forget Duce. I'm older than it is what we do, I don't want to see Zeus end your life for something that isn't your fault. You think I'm Zeus favorite nephew either, all of his kids are great heroes so he thinks that he can look down on us. But you have to ignore that shit I got you, in fact, I have a plan."
I looked at my brother foreboding gaze as something in his eyes told me that his plan was going to involve a lot of pain and trouble down the road."What plan?"
I watched his blue eyes light up but he simply pointed to the plate that laid before me. "Eat and I will tell you the plan or don't eat and I will go on with my plan without you. Of course, if that happens I will have to call someone to watch you while I'm gone. You think that good old cus would come down and watch you."
I snarled wildly under my breath as I started to eat my food, shoveling forkful after forkful of food. But I could see this amused grin on his face as he watched me."Why are you so invested in me eating anyway." His eyes seemed to darken at my question as he gave me this look that said duh its obvious.
"You're kidding me right, you're thinner Deuce and with all that stress and you don't eat you will waste away to nothing. Mom and dad have sense that shit too it's not just me, that's why they didn't trust you to stay home by yourself and they were right to worry. I thought what they were doing is a bit dramatic but you looked sickly little bro. I'm allowed to worry about your wellbeing you known."
I frown but didn't say a word I just watched him slip back in his seat as I started to gulp down my sweet french roast coffee in my back mug.
