Shattered

36

It was halfway through the movie when Benji was asleep in Cal's lap. Benji's head was buried into Cal's neck. Brit was snuggling into Cal's arm. Their mom came in from going to the store earlier, "Hey Cal." she said out of breath,

"Hey Mary." he slightly waved with his free hand.

"Aww, did he fall asleep?" she was talking about a passed out Benji,

"Yeah, that court session took a toll on him physically and mentally." Mary sighed,

"I'm going to make some sandwiches, want anything else?"

"Can I have some chips?"

"Of course." she smiled and walked to the kitchen. "Oh! The movers will be here at 5 tonight," she said from the kitchen.

"Brit, did you hear that? Do you have your room packed?" Cal asked, she hummed a yes. "Well, I'm going to finish Benji's room." he gently laid Benji down and walked to his room. Benji curled up into the blanket that Cal put over him.

Once lunch was ready Mary walked over to the couch and turned off the tv. She kneeled down and shook Benji awake gently. "Morning Benj," she whispered, he rubbed the tiredness from his eyes.

"Mornin' Mom." his voice had a bit of raspiness to it. "Where's Cal?" he asked more awake now.

"In your room finishing packing. Lunch is ready though." he nodded and sat up. He saw that Brit was asleep at the other end of the couch.

"Hey, Brit," Benji said softly, she stirred but didn't wake up. He stood up and walked over to Brit. "Brit~ lunch is ready~" he gently shook her shoulder, she mumbled and turned her face to the pillow. Benji sighed while smirking, he picked up Brit and laid her head on his shoulder.

He made his way towards the dining room table, he sat down at a chair waiting for his mom to bring the sandwiches. He rubbed Brit's back soothingly, his mom came in with Cal. Cal placed two sandwiches in front of Benji, then he kissed Benji on his black fluffy hair. Cal sat next to Benji, he placed his hand on Benji's upper thigh, rubbing his thumb back and forth. Tapping it a few times, Benji tapped back. 

Benji sat Brit on his knee, she was facing him still half asleep. "Here Brit." he handed her one of the sandwiches. She lazily grabbed it and started munching on it. Benji started eating some of his chips, he rubbed Brit's side lovingly.

"So Benj, ready to go back to school tomorrow?" Mary asked,

"Yes and no. I'm just sad because now I won't be able to spend any classes with Cal." he said pouting a bit, "I'm also sad that I can't play basketball anymore."

"Hey! Before you get all depressed, I talked to your physical therapist, they said you can start playing basketball in a couple of months." Mary said,

"Wait! Really!?!"

"Yes silly."

"Hell ya!" Benji cheered,

"I talked to Jake and Tyson, you can still show up to practice like you were." Cal smiled at him,

"Aww thanks, bub." Cal's hand was still on Benji's thigh so Benji put his hand on Cal's.
