Damien walked into his kitchen laughing at a story Ian had just told. He had come into the kitchen to grab them more beers, but as he went to the fridge his smile disappeared and he froze. On the fridge, were many pictures of himself, Ian, and Shayne. He stared at the pictures and could remember where every one of them was taken and what was happening in them; even the ones without him in them. Looking at Shayne's face made his heart ache and his tears began to fall silently again, he thought back on what happened to the three of them to get to this point.
It's been two weeks now, and Shayne still hated them, he completely shut them out, only talking to them at work and that was only when he needed to. All three were hurting, Damien still loved Shayne, but knew the life he dreamed of having with him was now just that...a dream. Ian hid his hurt behind his anger, refusing to talk about Shayne or what happened, acting like Shayne didn't exist, but Damien knew the truth. He knew how badly Ian was hurting and had overheard his secret tears when he thought he was alone. His thoughts were interrupted by Ian coming into the kitchen to see what was taking him so long to get the beers. He stopped in the doorway seeing Damien looking at the pictures and sighed shakily, as he watched Damien quickly wipe away his tears, before he opened the fridge and grabbed two beers.
"I know you're hurting..."
"We're hurting, Ian, not just me." Damien said, cutting him off, as he shut the fridge and turned to face him.
"Damien, he made his choice!" Ian said getting upset.
"Stop acting like this doesn't hurt you, Ian, you can't even say his name, for fuck's sake! We were brothers, Ian, stop acting like he didn't...doesn't matter to you!" Damien yelled upset.
"We were brothers, Damien, he made the choice to end our friendship, not me and not you! I'm going home, I'll see you tomorrow." Ian said angrily, as he turned and left.
**Day's Later**:
The days after their fight were hard on all of them, neither of them knew that Shayne had felt this way and yet because of their stupid pride not one of them went to him and apologized. Since they were now one player short for their team they looked for a new player and found two. Damien decided that even though he had improved a little it wasn't enough and told Ian. He, of course, tried to talk him out of not playing, but he wouldn't change his mind and so they let both players join.
Shayne, meanwhile, tried his hardest to move on, but he just didn't fit in with his new team. He had no contact of any kind with either of his brothers outside of work and it hurt him to think that they really didn't care about him; especially Damien, who he still loved.
Finally, the semi-finals arrived, and both teams were playing their games after each other; Shayne's team first. At the park, Damien joined his team he wore his uniform, he might not be playing, but he still wanted to support them. Shayne's team sat in their dugout and he didn't talk to anyone, he just sat alone playing with his glove. The guys stood together watching him; they saw how lonely and unhappy he was and they both felt horrible. They watched Shayne's team play, the entire time they never took their eyes off of Shayne, wanting so badly to apologize, but couldn't knowing that he hated them. Shayne's team won and the guys watched as he again kept to himself, not joining in on the celebration. Shayne packed up his things, and as if he could feel their eye's on him he stood and turned to face them, he met their eyes and then shook his head as sadly he looked away. During the guy's game, Damien sat on the bench watching, but his mind was on Shayne, and how much he still loved him. Shayne watched the game and was disappointed that Damien wasn't playing, he saw how sad Damien looked and wished things could have been different between the three of them. The guy's won their game too, which meant in a week they'd be playing against Shayne's team in the championship game.
**Game Time**:
The days leading up to the game were hard on all three, they hated the fact that they'd be playing against each other instead of being on the same team. Finally, the big day arrived, and the guys arrived at the same time as Shayne, Billy, and Thomas. Shayne ignored them as he got his gear out of Billy's trunk, Billy spoke seeing them as Thomas smirked.
"Well, well, if it isn't the losers, we didn't think you'd show."
"You haven't won yet, Billy. When we beat you today, we'll see who the real losers are! We'll have the last laugh on you, jokers!" Ian said angrily.
"Ooh, do you hear that, Billy and Shayne-O?" Thomas said, as he and Billy laughed. "They actually think they're going to win, isn't that cute?"
"Come on, Ian, let's go, we need to warm up." Damien said sadly.
"You'll need it, chumps! Shayne here has been better than ever in practice."
"Why haven't you been playing, Damien?" Shayne asked.
"Not that you care anymore, now that you have these two assholes as friends, but Damien gave up his spot on the team." Ian answered bitterly.
"What? Why?" Shayne asked shocked.
"It doesn't matter anymore! You've made it clear you don't care!" Damien said bitterly, trying hard not to let Shayne see how much he was hurting.
"You know what fine! You're right, I don't care, and I'm going to prove it when we beat you and win the championship!" Shayne said hurt.
"Come on, Shayne, let's go warm up." Billy said smiling, patting Shayne's back. "See you on the field, ladies."
Damien and Ian watched silently, as Shayne turned his back on them again, and left with Billy and Thomas, after they were gone Ian put a hand on Damien's shoulder and spoke.
"Dames, I..."
"Come on, let's get some practice in before the game." Damien said quietly, cutting him off, as he turned and walked away, trying to stay strong even though he was falling apart on the inside.
