Just a little Cal and Ethan piece inspired by the 35 trailer, it is spoilery. (is that even a word, I don't know) Ethan centered. Some of the diolouge in this chapter, doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the promo in which this chapter was the result.

The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 446

Ethan's head felt fuzzy. Or it could have been the concussion, you didn't end up lying on a hospital bed for no reason. Or it could have been the morphine he was on, judging by the IV in his wrist. His mouth also felt terribly dry.

"You've stopped wearing your glasses. When did that happen?"

"That's impossible. " Ethan thought to himself. "I'm imaging things. Your dead. ""No, little brother. You aren't, I'm here. " Cal said, giving Ethan a cheeky grin and a wink. He sat down on Ethan's bed.

"How have you been?" Cal asked.

"I watched you get stabbed, " Ethan cried.

"I died a hero. " Cal smirked.

God, Cal was infuriating. Ethan wanted to punch him in the arm. That's what he did.

"Ow. " Cal glared at him. "What was that for?"

"For leaving me. "

"I didn't have a choice mate. "

"I stopped eating after you..."

"Died. " Cal replied. "Ethan, I know. I may not have been here physically, but I was with you. "

"I miss you. "

Cal nodded, curling up beside his brother on the bed. "I miss you too, Nibbles. "

"Cal?" Ethan whispered.

"Yep?" Cal whispered in to the darkness.

"I love you. " Ethan replied.

Cal smiled. "I love you, too Nibbles. "

Ethan closed his eyes, the pain getting too much for him. Cal placed a kiss on his brothers forehead: pausing by the door to look over his baby brother, who he swore to protect.

"I'm never far away, Ethan. " He whispered, his heart breaking that he had to leave Ethan again. He placed his brothers glasses back on his face. He'd never been Ethan without them.

This broke my heart a little bit to write.
