(Happy birthday, Mrs. Fizzle! God bless you, hope it's a great day!)
3rd person pov
Jon thought he was going to die. He was sure of it, in fact. His vision was turning dark, oxygen leaving his body as he was being choked by Zeta Rho, eradicated into his own twin brother's body. At least the last thing he would see was his best friend's face, even if it sure was not his twin brother behind it. Both boys were high up in the barn at the moment, Jordan suddenly being able to fly due to Zeta, and Jon clinging for dear life, though Zeta-Jordan had him in a firm grip. Resigning to his fate, something he had been doing a lot since the move and even before then, Jon mouthed to the being with his brother's face, though he did not know if his brother could even hear him
"I love you."
He had to say it one last time. Even if Jordan could not hear him after all.
Suddenly, much to his surprise, something shifted, and Zeta-Jordan loosened his grip on him, changing his hand placement as to keep him safely upright in the air, but no longer choking him to death. One glance at the curly-haired teen's face made Jon's body be washed with relief. That was not Zeta at all. The blonde exclaimed in relief
"Jordan!"
His brother hugged him, both still in the air
"Jon!"
Starting to bring them closer to the ground, Jordan seemed to still have control of flight, or at least decent control, and his brother hugged him again
"Jordan!"
Not letting him go, the powered boy replied
"Jon!"
Being roused from her search through Jordan's subconscious, Lois looked at her boys while calling out for them, only to see that they were both ok, as they always were so long as they were together.
Later that night, both boys had settled not only in Jon's more spacious room, but on his bed, neither one wanting distance from the other after the days' ordeal. And, in all fairness, their parents could not fault them.
After a few minutes of silence shared between the boys, Jordan spoke up
"I love you too, you know. I remember you saying that when Zeta was... using me to kill you. I'm so sorry."
Jon hugged his twin, his other half of The Fraternals
"Don't say sorry, it wasn't you, and we both know it. I was just trying to say it one more time in case you could hear me while he had taken over. Because I knew you could fight back."
Jordan smiled
"Of course I could fight back. You were with me. I have you to come back to."
Jon smiled, enjoying his brother's reassuring words and presence
"And I have you. Fraternals?"
Jordan smiled at his brother and nodded
"Fraternals. Forever."
