--baby.

[All this fighting aside, sometime in the next 2 or 3 days, Gilbert will remember seeing the title of that shaking book and finally realize that Elliot has had the Holy Knight series all this time and he never realized it...

Even though he dusted his books once a week...

And he'll know that he deserves the beating that Oz will give him at that time.]

[But that's irrelevant at the moment. The only important thing at this moment is that Elliot is here, and Elliot is concerned that he'd overreact.

Just as he's doing right at this moment.

Ah, he can see that now...]

[He takes a step closer to his little brother, the shock finally wearing off to the point where the painful feeling of grief in his chest is more apparent. It hurts just as badly as it did before to see Elliot sitting here as though nothing had happened, as though he hadn't sacrificed himself for his family and friends and...]

Elliot...I'm sorry, I...

[I missed you.]

[Sorry Elliot, your brother is just going to stand here in front of you and cry. You're used to it at this point, right?]

[ when gilbert took a step closer, elliot raised his head to look towards his brother. he didn't know what to expect at this point. they were screaming at each other and now it was silent.

except for gil's words. hearing the apology, elliot's expression faltered. what an idiot. he shouldn't be apologizing. ]

[ gilbert wasn't the only one that felt the pain. elliot didn't ask for this and he knew how much it weighed on his brother.

sure, they argued a lot and they weren't of the same blood but gilbert was family. and all of that had been taken from him once before. he knew the pain.

he didn't want this, gilbert. ]

[ standing up now, he stayed still for a moment before slow stride towards gilbert. elliot would be lying if he said he didn't feel awkward but it's the least he could do right now.

reaching out, elliot placed a hand on the top of his brother's head and sighed. he's going to act like the big one here now, alright? as much as elliot is used to gilbert crying like a baby, this... this was different. ]

Don't apologize, idiot. You didn't do anything wrong.

[He really is an idiot. He's standing here breaking down even though he's watched Elliot return before, he's seen his friends come and go, and broken time should feel like normal time at this point. It's ridiculous to feel weak over it, and it's ridiculous that Elliot should have to comfort him at a time like this.

He wipes at his eyes before looking up at his little brother, expression still pained.]

I...

...still don't understand why you couldn't just tell me you were here.

[/ruins the mood always]

[ JESUS CHRIST GILBERT, LET IT GO-- ]

[ but instead of actually saying that, he'll sigh and shake his head. removing his hand from his brother's head, he put his hands on his hips and gave a firm tone.

a more matter of fact one. though he still found a way to get some yelling in. ]

That doesn't matter now. It wouldn't change how you would react in the end at all! What matters is that I'm here now and you should be happy. Not crying, alright?!

I'm happy!

[Happy, relieved, nervous. He's a lot of things right now, but yes, he's definitely happy to see his little brother again. He takes a deep breath and laughs as he exhales.]

I'm happy to see you again, Elliot...

Good.

[ Gilbert needs to calm himself. Really. . . . . But apart from that, he'll turn back to the bed and sit down. ]

But to answer your question, I've... [ muttering now. ]...been here for a little over half a week.

[Over...]

[Half a week...]

[How many other things are happening in this house without him knowing?!]

I...see...

[Hesitation.]

Is that where all the apples had gone, then...?

Well, maybe.

[ meaning yes. ] It's all I've eaten for the last few days but I'm surprised you noticed.

Edited (word slip dont look at me i hate this im tIRED also forgot to pick an icon just love me) 2012-11-20 15:34 (UTC)

[WHAT.]

That's all you've had to eat in almost a week?!

[Panic panic panic! No little brother of his is going to live off of apples!]

I-I'll make you something right now! What do you want?!

[ whoa there, calm yourself. ]

I'm fine though, aren't I?! I don't need anything! Stop being so embarrassing!

[ okay he is hungry BUT LIKE HELL HE'S TELLING YOU THAT. ]

You could be malnourished! Do you feel tired? Dehydrated? Are you too cold? I can get more blankets for you if you don't have enough!

[Just tell him to make food, Elliot. This is only going to get worse.]

[ no, elliot wants his pride intact for now at least. he was fine before you marched in his door! ]

Gilbert, really! Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?!

Huh?

[The wide-eyed look of innocence and stress on his face is a pretty clear indication that no, he hasn't heard anything past that apple statement.]
