Alex was in his room grabbing some clothes and his most favorite items to bring over to Vincent's house tomorrow. Gary was done packing, even though he didn't want to go he had to for Alex's sake, so for the time being he was helping Alex pack.
"Thanks." Alex said as he saw Gary put his plush toys in one of his luggage.
"Your welcome." Gary replied. Alex smiled seeing his brother helping him out. Gary would never help him, but it was nice that Gary is changing. Well changing just a bit.
Gary didn't know what was going on. He never helped Alex before, but for some reason he felt something change in him. Gary just sighed and patted his brother's back.
After getting packed, Alex went to his bed to get some sleep for tomorrow. Gary was about to leave to his room as well, but before he could leave, he had something to say to his brother. "Good night Alex." Gary said.
"Night Gary." Alex said as he turned around and fell asleep. Gary smiled as he closed Alex's door, and went to his room to get some sleep as well.
The next morning Vincent was up and ready for the boys to get ready to stay with him for a bit. Since he couldn't leave them at home he fell asleep on their couch the whole night until early in the morning. Vincent then looked up and saw Gary and Alex up and holding their luggage ready to go. "Hey Vincent." Alex and Gary said.
"Morning boys. Ready to go?" Vincent asked. Alex and Gary nodded. "Ok let's go." Vincent said. The three left the house; Alex and Gary put their stuff in the truck of Vincent's car, got in and Vincent drove them to his house. After a couple minutes drive the three made it to Vincent's house.
"Well were here." Vincent said. The brothers looked from the window too see a simple house. It looked big for a guy who wanted to raise a family. Gary and Alex got their stuff from the trunk and looked at the house a bit more, as Vincent unlocked the door to his house. "Come on in."
Alex and Gary then walked in, and saw inside the house. The house was really calm and peaceful. The walls were painted blue and there were pictures of Vincent with his family and friends. There was even a TV on the other side of the room connecting it to the kitchen, and a living room.
Alex and Gary where then taken to their rooms, and unpacked. Alex laid all his plush toys near his bed to make it finally for his room, and Gary just put his mask on his bed incase he wants to wear it later. After getting unpacked, the two called their friends and told them they will be staying at Vincent's house. One of Alex's friends was happy because she lived just next door to Vincent.
After all that Vincent decided to stay in the living room as the two brothers were done with everything. "Make yourselves comfortable. Also, I'm off today so if you want to do anything let me know." He said as he got up and then went to the kitchen.
Gary and Alex smile and turn on the TV and watch some TV for a bit. After an hour of TV watching, Vincent checks up on the brothers. "Hey! You boys hungry?" Vincent asked.
"Yeah." Gary said getting up from the couch.
"Me too." Alex said giving a smile.
"Ok." Vincent said as he head back to the kitchen.
Alex and Gary smile as they continue watching TV. After a while, Gary had this question that he been meaning to ask Alex.
"Alex do you like it here?" Gary asked whispering incase Vincent was going to overhear them.
"I like it here I guess." Alex said. "What about you?"
Gary was unsure. I mean it wasn't like Vincent was going to adopt them, their father is still out there, and he might be looking for them as of now. So, Gary just gave his little brother a reply. "Its ok."
Alex gave a small smile, and the two continued watching TV. Gary just rolled his eyes with seeing Alex's smile, but gave a small smile as well.
Just then the two brothers smelled something good, and knew it was time for breakfast. "Boys! Breakfast is ready! Vincent called out.
Alex and Gary shut off the TV, and then got up and ran to the kitchen seeing three plates with 2 slices of toast and scrambled eggs, with 2 glasses of orange juice and a cup of coffee for Vincent. Alex and Gary then sat down, and enjoyed their breakfast.
"Enjoy!" Vincent said smiling.
"Thanks!" Alex and Gary said eating their breakfast.
"Your welcome." Vincent said.
After eating breakfast, Alex went back to the room to watch TV, while Gary decided to stay behind to help Vincent with the dishes. "Want me to help?" He asked.
Vincent smiled and nodded, and ruffled Gary's hair. Gary was shocked because how Vincent ruffled his hair is how Gary's father used to do it. Gary would be upset and probably yell at Vincent, but something inside him told him to smile. With that the two started to wash the dishes, but it was awkward silence except with the TV on.
"So what do you think of the place?" Vincent asked. Even though Gary asked that question to Alex just a while ago, he thinks it would be best to tell Vincent.
"Its nice." Gary said as he dried off one of the plates.
"That's good." Vincent said. Gary smiled, but since he wasn't paying attention he dropped one of the glasses on the floor, causing it to break.
"Aw man! I'm so sorry!" Gary yelled.
"Hey its ok! Its ok." Vincent said.
Gary was ready to pick up the glass, but Vincent held onto his shoulders so Gary won't cut himself. "Hey it was just an accident." Vincent reassured him.
"I'm really sorry." Gary said.
"Its ok I forgive you." Vincent replied.
Gary smiled and decided to clean up the mess. "Here I'll clean it up." He said as he went to get the broom. Vincent then took the broom from him.
"Here I'll clean it up. Just be with Alex for a bit." Vincent said.
"Are you sure?" Gary asked. Vincent nodded, and Gary agreed and went to the other room to join up with his little brother.
After cleaning up everything he went to check up on the boys, and saw Alex lying down on Gary's lap. "Are you two doing alright?" Vincent asked.
Gary turned around and nodded. "Yeah. Alex is sleeping." Gary said looking at his little brother who is now smiling in his sleep.
"Tired already." Vincent said sitting down next to the boys. Vincent smiled seeing Alex sleeping.
"Yeah. Alex naps a lot." Gary said.
"Ah. Why?" Vincent asked.
"Well you know how I'm a jerk to him?" Gary asked. Vincent nodded remembered Alex telling him all the stories on Gary and his friends picking on little Alex.
"So why did you bully Alex?" Vincent asked.
"Well its just I mostly thought is was Alex's fault why our parents are gone, so I just bullied him a lot. Including my friends they bullied him too." Gary said starting his story. "However, I don't try to hurt Alex I just scare him and call him names. I don't know what I would do without Alex. So before all this when I hanged out with my friends I always left Alex alone in the house, I would only bring him with me and my friends if its going to be a long day. So yeah some brother I am." Gary looked down seeing how bad of a brother he was.
"Any reason why your friends pick on him?" Vincent asked.
"They thought it was fun when I was doing it." Gary replied. He then sighed knowing since he stopped picking on Alex, his friends should too, or at least tone down the teasing. "I guess now I have to tell them we have to stop picking on him."
Vincent smiled and nodded. "That would be the best thing. As an older brother, you should protect Alex not torment him." Vincent explained.
"Yeah. Well I just went through a hard time that's all." Gary said. He then looked down remembering his family. He remembered before Alex was born everything was perfect.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Vincent replied.
"Yeah. I just blamed the whole thing on Alex. I mean when he was born I lost my mom, and then when he was 3 our dad just left us." Gary said feeling tears in his eyes.
Vincent was silent for a bit, and then sighed. "How close were you and your mother?" He asked.
Gary smiled. "Very close." He said. "She was beautiful, kind. Every time I hear Alex giggle or see him smile it reminds me of her a lot. " Gary smiled remembering his mother. "She even looked like Alex. He has her hair color and eyes."
Vincent smiles at Gary and rubs his back in comfort. Gary smiled back at Vincent. "You ok now?" Vincent asked. Gary nodded in reply. "That's good. Now when Alex wakes up your going to apologize to him, right?"
"Right. I promise." Gary said.
"That's a good boy." Vincent said ruffling the boy's hair.
"Thanks dad." Gary said giving a smile. After saying that he covered his mouth in shock. Did he just call Vincent dad. He just knew this guy from his little brother, and suddenly he had called him dad.
Vincent was shocked he never thought of being called a dad. Vincent just gave a smile and ruffled Gary's hair. "T-That was a mistake." Gary said.
"Its ok. Its fine." Vincent said reassuring him it was all just an accident.
Gary smiled a bit seeing everything is all right, but felt too embarrassed called Vincent dad. "I just need to go to my room now." He said.
"Are you sure?" Vincent asked.
"Y-Yeah." Gary replied.
Vincent smiled and carried Alex, and took the two boys to Gary's room. Once their Gary lied down on his bed as Vincent put Alex right next to him. "Vincent." Gary said before Vincent could leave.
"Yeah." He replied.
"Sorry again for calling you dad." He said.
"Its alright kiddo." Vincent replied. Gary smiled and closed his eyes lying down next to his brother. Vincent smiled and closed the door, and decided to relax.
As he went downstairs he heard the phone ring, and he went to pick it up. "Hello." Vincent said.
"Hey Vinny!" A young girl said over the phone.
"B-Briana?" Vincent said.
