A/N: Not really a funny drabble, but semi-serious/amusing depending on how you take it. Inspired by... well, my gut reaction right after watching episode 32 of Blood+. The show mentioned isn't really any show in particular, but... basically, just anything where a younger brother dies horrifically. x.x
TK had been mostly minding his own business as he walked down the hall past the media room, when Matt suddenly walked out the door right into view.
"Hey," TK waved, intending to keep going, but he stopped when he saw Matt's expression.
His brother gazed at him, pale and a little shaken. He wavered slightly, eyes widening in… was that grief?
Before TK could ask anything, Matt strode directly up to him and pulled him into a tight hug.
He returned it, though at the same time he felt very confused.
"… Matt?"
The older boy released him, breathing a long sigh as he rested his hands firmly on his younger brother's shoulders.
"I'm fine," he answered, closing his eyes briefly. Then he opened them and smiled. "Just…" he gave a weak laugh. "Never mind, it's stupid. That… that show I was watching... anyway."
He clapped TK hard on the back and continued on his way.
TK paused for a moment, watching his brother walk down the hall. Then in a quick burst of thought, he ran after him.
"Hey, it's not stupid," he stated, matching Matt's pace beside him. "I'll watch it with you later. Feel like jamming now?"
Matt smiled back gratefully. "Sure, sounds great."
