Chapter Two: Welcome Home

The next day Dave went to the park after school and just spent most of his time taking photos of some crows and going over what that guy had said yesterday. It had kept him up for the better part of the night and when he did finally fall asleep he was just woken up by his nightmares. Bro wasn't there, instead he was at the foster house, signing papers in order to adopt his younger brother. The younger male made his way back to the foster home and walked in ignoring the other kids. The foster mother was talking with Bro. "Are you sure you want him? He's so disrespectful and has no manners." She said trying to figure out why this male would want to adopt Dave. Though she wasn't going to lie she was happy to be seeing the demon spawn to be leaving but she didn't think she could handle it if this man brought the young boy back. "Ma'am, I'm positive." Bro responds in a flat tone. He could tell that the woman really didn't want Dave there and it annoyed him greatly. Dave rolled his eye hearing the woman when he walked into the house. She sighs and nods. "David! Pack your things!"

"It's Dave." He mumbles softly before heading up the stairs and quickly packing. All he had was a few shirts, pants, his blanket that he had since he could remember and a stuffed red crocodile that he called a nakodile or nak nak for short. Once everything of his was packed he glanced around the small room to make sure he didn't miss anything. He heads back downstairs once he feels that he had packed everything of his. Bro is standing and waiting by the front door. "C'mon kid!" He says once he sees Dave carrying his back pack and two decent size bags. "Are you sure about this?" Dave asks walking towards the door. "Kid, let me tell you a story, Seven years ago I was forced to hand my younger brother over to the state. Not because I didn't want him or anything but the state felt that I was an unsafe guardian. I am hurt though that you have forgotten about me. I mean I used to give you apple juice and spoil you rotten." Bro said looking at Dave. Dave stands there for awhile quiet before something clicks. "Bro?" Dave asked confused not wanting to show his excitement. "Aj is awesome, though I didn't get to drink it a lot."

"Of course it is and yep its me. Been keeping an eye on you since I first ran into you at the park. Though at first I wasn't too sure so I kept coming back and after I caught glimpse of your eyes I knew. So been watching you at the park ever since." Bro explains rubbing the back of his neck. "That is creepy." He replies dropping his stuff in order to hug the other. Bro chuckles and ruffles his hair. "Glad ta have ya back."

"Took ya long enough." He says not letting go. Bro returns the hug before saying,"Had ta get my life straightened out."

"Well it sucked. I thought you hated me and didn't care." He said truthfully. "Fuck no! You're to important." The older male responded. "Are we going home now?" He asked. He was excited beyond belief that he was actually going back home with his older brother. "Also why didn't you just you know talk to me those times when I was at the park?"

He lets go of the other and picks up his stuff. He rubs his eyes feeling a headache coming on due to the assault of light to his eyes. Bro chuckles and pulls out a pair of shades like his. "Put these on."

"Thanks." He mutters slipping the shades on. He blinks a few times getting used to the sudden change in color not that he was complaining. Bro ruffles his hair. "Let's get home."

"So where do you live?" He asked fixing his hair. The younger male was hoping that he wasn't dreaming right now because if he woke up and he was Dave would flip the fuck out.

"A few blocks down." The older male replied. "Near taco bell or seven 11?" He asked. "Seven 11."

"Oh that is near the school that I go to."

Bro nods his head at the comment. Dave goes quiet and just follows the other. He didn't want bro to change his mind and take him back to the home if he was annoying the other. Bro walks up to his place and opens the door. "C'mon."

Dave walks into the apartment and looks around. He goes over towards the turntable set up and looks at it. "Like it?" Bro smirks. "Yeah. It is pretty cool."

"Try it out."

Dave smiles softly before turning the machine on and messing with a few things. "I'll teach ya how to DJ if ya want." The older male speaks up watching as the other messed with a few things that were in his reach. "If you want. I just like making music so I am willing to learn." He says turning off the turntable and looking back to Bro. Bro nods before speaking up, "Second door on the right is your room."

"What is in the first door?" He asks as he walks towards the other room. He opens the door and notices that the walls were bare and there wasn't really that much in the room. "It's my room." The older male replied. "Cool." He said tossing his backpack and bag on the ground in his room. He kneels down and starts digging through the bag. He pulls out a dead baby fetus and sets it next to him. Bro raises an brow at that. "Well, guess we are both odd."

"What? I don't see anything odd with this. I think it is pretty cool. I got to keep it since my science teacher was going to toss it." He said pulling out a few bottles of apple juice and setting it on the other side of him. Dave basically saved whatever bottles of apple juice he could from school and hid it in his room back in the foster home so he would have it. Bro shrugs. "Yeah, it's pretty cool. I own a porn site."

"...Gross! I am now crossing that off the list of things I didn't want to know but I know anyways." He responds pulling a few more things out of the first bag. That bag just mostly had the clothes that he owned which wasn't much since the other kids liked to steal his stuff. Bro chuckles. "Hey, I make thousands a week."

"Bet if you updated the web page better you could make more." Dave retorted standing up. "I do, every week ya lil shit." The other retorted with a flat tone.

"Well I didn't know that! I mean I haven't been here in I don't know seven years or so."

Bro smiles softly and hugs Dave. "Nice ta have you home Davey."

He hugs the other back. "This isn't a dream right? Like I am not gonna wake up and still be in the place right?" He asks softly. "I promise. Never gonna give ya up again." The older Strider muttered softly tightening his grip on the other. He nods his head not moving to let the other go at the moment since he just wanted to be held at the moment. Bro nuzzled into his hair. He was thinking how it was nice to hold Dave again. The younger Strider lets go of the other after a few more minutes and just stands there awkwardly. "I missed you, But the foster homes told me you didn't exist and if you did there was no way I would ever see you again." He admitted. "Don't believe those assholes." Bro growled out. "Well I did, but I don't anymore." The younger of the two responded.

Bro nods. "Pizza or Chinese?"

"Chinese."

Bro makes a quick call after pulling out his cell phone. "Alright kid, how have ya been?"

"Still alive so that gotta count for something." He said as he walked out of his room and towards the living room. Dave was currently trying to take in as much of the apartment as he could since he needed to know the layout of where he was living. "I hope so." The older of the two said sitting down on the futon after joining the other out in the living room.

"I have been miserable. I hate school but who doesn't, I didn't like going home because it was worse than being at school. The foster mother was a bitch and wouldn't stop the other kids from destroying my things not that I had a lot of stuff anyways." He said. "Well kid, here, you can do whatever you want. So long as it is not illegal or harmful." Bro said watching the other. "Are you sure that you want to open that can of worms?" Dave asked looking at the other with a raised eyebrow. "Positive." The other male replied. "Not that I would do much."

"Do whatever. But have safe sex. Always remember wrap your smuppet before you stuff it."

"Ew no plus I find girls annoying and they have the disease called cooties." Dave said while sticking his tongue out. Though Dave was also trying to figure out what the hell a smuppet was. He figured it was like some type of snail puppet high bred or something like that. Bro chuckles. "Damn kid, might have ta give a the 'talk'."

"No thanks i am gonna pass on that one. Plus I am like ten."

"Nope." Bro replied. "Can't it wait until later?" Dave asks. He goes to sit on the floor since he wasn't sure if he was allowed on the futon. "Sure." Bro licked his lips as he thought of the things he could do when the other was a bit older. "So whatever happened to cal?" He asks not seeing the puppet around. "He's in my room." Bro smirked and walked away.

"..." He watches the other leave. After a few moments he ends up laying back and looking up at the ceiling. He turns his head and notices a strange plush like thing with a strange shaped nose and pulls it out from under the futon. He stares at it before tossing it some place out of boredom. Bro sat in his room with his door closed, working on his porn site. It needed was in a serious need of an update. Dave lets out a sigh as he stood up and starts walking around the apartment to feel more comfortable in the new place. He noted that there were tons of those strange plush puppet things hidden every where except for his room. Once he was good with the tour he sits down and watches tv. He jumps when he hears a knock on the door. "Bro...door." He calls out. Bro slips out of his room and answers the door, paying for their dinner. He watches the other from the futon. "Didn't know Chinese delivers." He said. "Yep." Bro answered as he hands Dave his box and chopsticks.

Dave takes the box and looks at the chopsticks confused. He does what any normal person his age would do and just starts stabbing the meat with the sticks. Bro chuckles. "Don't know how to use them?"

"No. Never had any type of fast food or had to eat with sticks."

"Damn kid. Watch me." Bro opens his box and holds his sticks. Dave watches the other and copies the other struggling a bit before getting the hang of it. Bro eats his food. "So, you never had fast food?"

"Nope. Just had the school food and whatever was made for dinner."

"Damn, I'm gonna fix that."

"I don't care. I mean it's okay a little greasy but it taste better than the schools food."

"They really fucked up your Strider ways. Can you still use a sword?"

"I dunno. Last time I tried I got yelled at and locked in a closet."

Bro shakes his head. "Damn people."

"What can't blame them I mean who would want to adopt someone who uses a sword that might kill them in their sleep."

"I would."

"Only because you taught me."

"Yep. Cause you're a Strider."

"They tried to change my name a few times. The latest foster home was the worst since they were pretty huge on god. They locked me in a closet that was covered in religious things and told me to pray to god. They said that I might be cured if I prayed."

"Fuck them. You will always be a Strider."

"Yeah I know and they thought my name was David and would pitch a fit when I told them that it wasn't. So I just stopped talking to them all together. Which didn't fly over to well with them when I did."

"It is David, but I prefer to call you Dave. Unless you do something stupid or to piss me off then its your whole name."

"I like Dave more. Since my full name makes me sound all stuck up and shit."

"My name's Derrek but I prefer Dirk."

Dave laughs a bit at that before leaning back a bit. He was a lot smaller then Bro and it could clearly been seen with the two of them on the couch. Bro puts his feet on Dave's lap. "Mmhmm."

Dave glanced down and made a slight face at the others actions. He looks down before closing his box of food. "Done."

Bro does the same. "Me too."

"So what were you doing without me?" He asks curious.

"Gettin' my life straight."

"But besides that, Like any awesome stories or anything."

"Been in jail."

"For what?"

"Killed a guy."

"Whoa wait seriously."

"Yep."

"Normally you are in jail longer though if you kill someone."

"He started it."

"Well that explains why I have been In foster care. And I don't judge you I mean the guy must have deserved it."

"He shot me three times."

"And they still sent you to jail. Wow that is messed up."

"Yeah."

"Ugh need aj but it's so far away."

"You can do it."

"No I can't currently trapped under your feet."

" Well then suffer." Bro moves his feet against Dave's dick. His face twitches a bit surprised by the contact to his groin. He moves the others feet and goes to grab a bottle of apple juice. When he returns he sits down on the others lap. Bro wraps his arms around Dave's waist. Dave leans back against the other. Bro just sits there fighting the urge to nuzzle into the other. He really didn't want to lose Dave right now. The older Strider knew it was wrong for him to feel this way but he couldn't help it. Ever since he was left to take care of the other he had grown to have an unhealthy obsession for his younger brother. The main reason he had killed the guy was because the dude had threatened to do vile and fucked up things to the small bundle that was now in his lap. He glances down and notices that the younger male was sleeping. Bro stands up holding the sleeping Dave and carrying him to his room. Once the in the room he placed Dave on the bed. He leans down and kisses his forehead whispering, "night baby."

He turns to leave after covering the other up and leaving the door cracked a bit. Bro then makes his way to the bathroom in order to take a much needed cold shower. After his shower Bro updated his site some more before heading off to bed making plans to take Dave shopping in order to fill up the room a bit.
