Chapter
Disclaimer-I own nothing!
MC laid on the bed she shared with Saeyoung waiting for him to come home. He had already been gone for hours and Saeran hadn't come back yet either. Hopefully Saeyoung found him though and they were talking. Opening her phone she checked the messenger, doubting anyone was online at this hour but it would keep her busy while she waited.
"MC! What are you doing up at this hour?"
"Hello Yoosung. I could ask you the same thing. Playing games?"
"Nah, taking a little study break. Everything alright though? Haven't seen you online this late in a while."
"Yes. Just couldn't sleep."
"Saeyoung snoring?"
"How did you know?" Laughing, she looked over at Saeyoung's empty spot. "Yoosung, do you think we could all get together one day soon? It's been awhile. Too long in fact."
"The whole RFA? Probably. I know I miss everyone too. And I'm sure Jaehee could use a break."
"We'll have to plan something than."
"Definitely." Seeing Saeyoung come into their bedroom MC quickly said goodnight to Yoosung and sat up in bed. Before she could say anything Saeyoung climbed onto their bed and buried his head into her stomach. She had been with him long enough to know he did this when he was upset.
"Give him time love. I promise you he'll come home." She never knew what happened when Saeyoung first brought Saeran home knowing it wasn't her business but she knew that when these episodes happened Saeyoung thought of back then. Curling up around her he lifted his head up just a little bit to look at her better.
"I can't help but worry. All I think about is him…our shared senses…ha…I'm going to be the most protective father. I feel bad for our child."
Running her fingers through his hair MC wished he wouldn't hold on his feelings in and that she could help Saeran. "You'll be the most amazing father out there."
"You're too kind babe." Growing silent he kept his head on her and became lost in his thoughts. She watched him quietly knowing this was all he needed right now, someone to be here. Watching him move his hand in front of his face he placed a finger on her stomach before he let his hand rest on her. "You're really pregnant babe?"
"I sure hope so, considering I've been so sick."
"We are really going to have a baby. I'm going to be a father. MC. Honestly. Do you think I can be? I mean…I don't even."
"Saeyoung." She cut him off before he could finish making him look up from his hand. "Don't start doubting how amazing you truly are. You'll be a great father, I promise." Seeing him nod with a small smile she had him sit up and she rested against his body before they fell asleep for the night.
MC watched Saeyoung making scrambled eggs for them the next morning when they heard footsteps coming from the front hallway. Seeing it was Saeran she noticed Saeyoung had stopped and was walking over to him only to stop before he got there. Watching Saeran look at both of them and leave the room MC and Saeyoung looked at each other. The look of hurt on Saeyoung's face broke her heart.
"Maybe he will talk to you." Going back to the frying pan MC knew he wouldn't talk about it further. Getting up she walked down to Saeran's room and knocked before opening it a little to see him sitting bunched up on top of his bed.
"Saeran? Can I come in?" Watching the half nod he gave she entered and closed the door behind her. "I'm glad you are back. Saeyoung is glad too." Getting closer to the bed she stopped as he sprang off it and moved to the far corner of the room.
"Please don't come any closer. I don't want to hurt you. Saeyoung would never forgive me if I did, or your child."
"Saeran. You never hurt me. I promise you. Last night you were scared, it happens, I tripped and fell. You are no monster." Wishing he would come closer she stayed where she was. Time, she knew he needed time. "Saeran…look at me… do I look scared or hurt?" Wanting him to meet her gaze she noticed he looked up and looked away again in a moment. Seeing him move away from the wall he moved towards her only to walk past her and out the bedroom door. Following him out, they both went into the kitchen.
"Saeran, I made breakfast, come eat. I'm sure you are hungry." Saeyoung placed a plate down in the spot Saeran always ate at. He knew having MC talk to him would help, she was amazing.
"I'm moving out. Before I hurt anyone. Before you throw me out." He wasn't angry or hurt, he didn't want to hurt Saeyoung or MC after everything they did for him. Saeyoung dropped the plate that was just hovering over his place when he looked at his brother.
"What? Saeran. You aren't going to hurt either of us. And you're my brother, you're family, you're all I have I could never throw you out."
"You have MC, and you'll have that kid. There isn't space for me here and you know it!" He knew Saeyoung would lie to him about throwing him out, he knew his brother was capable of lying.
"Saeran, your brother is telling the truth, he would never throw you out." MC stepped closer to him to place a hand on his shoulder only for him to shrug her off.
"You both are liars. I know you guys want me out. I'm just getting in the way." Moving away from MC he headed back to his room, Saeyoung went after him. He didn't want to lose his brother again. Sure he had MC in his life, and he would have his child but Saeran was his twin, they were made together and the pain he went through not having him in his life was a pain he didn't want to go through again.
Opening the bedroom door he put his hands down on Saeran's bag, stopping him from trying to pack it. He couldn't believe he had gotten it out so fast, he hadn't been in the room long. "Saeran, please. For the love of God listen to me!" Holding back his tears and anger over this disaster, over knowing his brother felt like he didn't belong here Saeyoung wished the right words would come out. "This is your home. If you really want to move out then fine. I'll help you find a place. I would do anything for you but don't leave under the impression I would throw you out just because I'm starting a family with MC." Watching Saeran fall to his knees he went over to him to pull him close.
"I don't want to get in your way. You have a future Saeyoung…I'm just here." Starting to cry he covered his head in his hands not wanting to have his brother see him like this. He hated when he felt like this, like he didn't belong. At least if he wasn't here than he wouldn't have to worry anyone. He didn't feel like he did back then but he still never felt like he really belonged. Not here with Saeyoung, not with the RFA, maybe he was never really supposed to belong anywhere.
"How could you say that? Of course you have a future and you aren't just here. I know mom put you through hell as did Rika but that is in the past and I want you to have the brightest future out there because you deserve it. Nothing else will be good enough for you. Trust me Saeran. You belong here. Here with me. Please don't leave. Please let me help you with whatever is going on. As a brother and as a friend I am begging you. I saw you fixed Robot Cat for MC. If you didn't truly belong here do you think you would have bothered? You know deep down you love us just as much as we love you." Moving his hands he looked into his eyes and hoped he could see the truth.
"Can you help me Saeyoung? If I stay can you help me do the things I should be able to do? I miss hacking…it was all I knew…but…" Hacking was all he knew, it was the only education he ever received. Not having that made him feel like he couldn't function. Toy making helped but he wanted to do all the things his brother could do too.
"I can teach you anything you want. Promise. If I can't then I'll find someone who can." He was determined to make things right for his brother. He was a smart kid and really was still a child at heart. After all the drugs left his body back then Saeyoung saw the eyes he remembered as a child. Saeran had asked him to teach him toy and robot building because it fascinated him and he was so good at it. He would teach him better reading skills, math, history, science, anything he wanted. He would even send him to college if he wanted, anything because they were family and all he wanted was to see Saeran smile.
"You really want me to stay? I won't get in the way? I can give you back this room if you need it. The couch would be okay with me."
"Saeran. I want you to stay, you'll never be a burden to me I promise. MC and I are talking about room arrangements now and we might decide to move but, if you do you are coming with us. You aren't going to be sleeping on the couch so don't even try it. Together the three of us can figure everything out, alright. Can you give me a little faith?" Watching Saeran nod as he wiped his eyes Saeyoung did the same. He was glad they were able to have this talk. A part of him figured Saeran would be concerned about the coming child but not to the extent that it would get him thrown out.
Saeran stood up and moved to the doorway where MC stood and put his arms around her. He wanted to thank her for worrying about him and to apologize for all the trouble he caused her. She really meant a lot to him because she was always there for him. She was the first female he knew that didn't try to control him or beat him. She was so calming and he hated making her upset.
"I'm glad you're home Saeran." Hearing those words he started crying again and moved away to compose himself. Seeing his brother and sister-in-law waiting for him they all went back into the kitchen to eat. His heart was beating rather fast right now. It probably had something to do with being around family, truly caring family. When Saeyoung asked where he stayed last night he chose not to answer not wanting to hurt him and he didn't push it further. His brother just told him that after they ate he should go rest since he looked tired. Rika wouldn't have asked, she wouldn't have cared. He did everything for her, he wanted to be loved by here and she just used him, just like his mother used to keep him locked up. For the first time in his life he saw what it actually meant to be loved by someone.
"Saeyoung, thank you. For everything."

Gonna stop here for now. Next chapter will pick up a bit. Maybe get Saeran to open up more. I know what I want from this story but I am not sure what style I want it in so it's rather rough to write. But! The favorites and alerts keep me going. And thank you so much for the review VioletColor it really made my day. See you all soon.
