"Soooo James. That's his name right?" a 6'7, short blue haired man with dark green eyes leaned on the opposite wall of his younger brother, Jin. "Yes." Jin sat at the desk in his room, his back turned to his brother Phoenix. "Now...I dont get it." Phoenix pushed himself off the wall and walked over to his brother. "What dont you get?" Jin huffed, knowing what was gonna happen. "You 'fall' for this human named James yet" Phoenix leaned in, his mouth breathing hot, sweet air into Jin's ear. "you've already fallen." Jin quickly stood up and pushed the other away.

"N-No. Your my brother, nothing more."

"Is that truly how you see us? How you see me?" Green eyes smirked while lips formed a twisted smile. Phoenix stalked closer, trapping the almost golden eyed male in the corner of the room, next to the bed. "No no no. You see me as more. Much much more." As Phoenix closed in, Jin turned his face down and away from the others, putting inches away from their face. "I think of you as my brother, as I think of Victor as my brother." he spoke calmly even though he could bearly hear himself over his heart beating. Phoenix let out an actual laugh. "And just what do you find so funny?" Jin hissed, turning his face back to up his...his...'Brother..his my brother!'

As he looked into the deep green eyes Jin realized he made a mistake turning his head back. "I find your denial funny as well as cute, my love."

"There is no denial within what I've said." Jin could feel his face heat up under Phoenix's heated gaze. "Look me in the eyes." Phoenix ordered. Jin kept quiet and did nothing. Phoenix grabbed Jin's chin and tilted his head up, making fiery golden eyes lock with unreadable greens. 'James...My sweet, funny, brave James...Even so..' Jin continued to look over his brother. "Phoenix, you know as well as I do, this is wrong." Jin reasoned with his brother but mainly with himself. "You know as well as I do that you love me. Nothing has changed. That human can not change our love." Phoenix moved his hands down to Jin waist. "No human can change our love." Phoenix dipped his head, leaving his and Jin face only inches away. "Isn't that right" the blue haired male moved even closer, letting their breath mix into an intoxicating, head spinning oxygen for them both. "My Jin?"

"Jin! Phoenix! Victor and the rapist twins are lookin for you!" Jin smiled at the growl that irrupted from Phoenix as their sister's voice rung through the hotel. "Goddamit Sora!" Phoenix stomped out to the hall.

"Oh there you are Phoen-"

"You little-! You better keep those bandages handy 'cause when I'm done with you-"

"Wh-What I'd do big brother?!" Jin could hear Sora running away from the angry monster that was her oldest brother.

"Get back here!"

"Never! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Jin laughed as he heard Jin run after the Silent Hill nurse. Though as things got quiet, Jin couldnt help but ask himself...

'Was Phoenix right?'

"Of course he was right!" Alex beamed at his close friend, James Sunderland. "Your saying that Robin, aka Jason, as Redhood...was right?"

"Yes! Batman can injure sure but sometimes, and this goes for more in someplace like Gotham, people need to be put down. Like ol' yeller." Alex said the last part in his 'cun-tray' voice. "And why did old yeller get put down?" James asked, dying to know what Alex's answer is. Alex stopped in his tracks of trailing down the aisle in the abandon supermarket and turned to James. "Because old yeller erased the messages of the answering machine." James too stopped when he heard the answer. "What?" James put down the orange shopping basket. "Yeah. You never heard?"

"Old yeller, the dog, erased the messages off an answering machine."

"...Oh wait...The last thing I watched on T.V back home was Family Guy. Sorry.." Alex blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Exactly." James laughed, finding it hard to think that Alex was 29. He continued with Alex to trail around the store. "Isn't all this food...ya know rotten?"

"Normally yes. But every time, after a peeling-" Alex opened his mouth but didn't get a word out. "the siren Alex. After each one, when Silent Hill goes back to the sulfur filled Hill, the stores always seem to be repacked."

"B-But I saw a woman...running out of the school with a can of food and her and another woman started fighting over it. Why didn't they just come here?" Alex questioned as he followed James down to the surprisingly working freezer aisle. "They want to be close to the church. That's their go-to place when the peeling starts. It keeps the darkness out sure but.."

"But what?" James stopped and so did Alex. "I-in my first couple of months here I met this woman, Rose. She was here looking for her daughter. She told me of how these people use to live...Why this town is full of sulfur." Alex stood quiet, hoping James would continue. "She told me that...children with no father would be seen as evil...and would be-"

"Burned." James looked at Alex's serious face in shock. "Y-yes."

"How did you know?" Alex turned away. "I just...know." James sensed something touchy about the subject so left it alone. "Well, they refuse to go too far from their Holy church. But their already damned...this" James motions around them with his free hand. "this is their hell. And we" James opened one of the freezer doors and picked up a cold bottle of beer. "are here for somethin." James mumbled handing Alex the beer. "Thanks."

"Anytime." They shopped in quiet for a while then...

"Hey James?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks. For saving me and well, everything." James turned to the blushing blond and for a split second, he saw Jin's sharp teethed, amazing smile. He quickly shook his head and smiled at Alex. "No problem 'Lex." Alex lit up at the nickname. "Where are we gonna cook and eat and stuff?" the sudden question popping into to mind made Alex tilt his head. "A working diner of course!" Alex didn't follow but nodded his head anyways. "Since you gave me a nickname, I gotta give you one!" Alex said like a happy child as him and James exit the supermarket.

"You really dont-"

"Jamesy? Nah...J. Land? Like your name; James Sunder-land? Ooh! How 'bout Jim? Or John? Like 'Saw'?"

"Here we go..." James huffed as he tried to listen to Alex.

"Whats your middle name?"

"Andrew." Alex giggled a bit but then shut his mouth when James gave him a death glare.

"Lets see..J. A. S...Jas..no...Jaz! Thats it! Your new nickname is Jaz!" Alex smiled victoriously like he had found a way outta Silent Hill. "Not bad." James tilted his head side to side. "Right?...Hey, do you feel like..ya know, we're been watched?" Alex's voice went down to a whisper. James looked around. "Now that you mention it..."

"Come on! Lets get to the place." Alex said in a shaky voice, pulling James along to the S & H Hill Diner. "Yeah..." James muttered, looking from the fogged streets to flashing sign of the broken yet workin diner. "James..."

James shivered at the hissing of his name and just as he turned around to look into the fog once more, he was pulled into the diner by Alex. But not before he spotted two, pretty pissed off green eyes watching him and Alex through the fog.

A/N-RRA!
