All About Us (LT One shot books)

Talk to me until dawn

Laurent stared thoughtfully at Larry's Instagram post. A very aggressive and at first glance unambiguous post in which he sent their brand and Laurent, to all sides and stated that he was now a loner. In addition to Laurent, several of their friends were looking at this post, and a heavy silence hung in the room. Laurent was flying out of Los Angeles a few hours later, where they were filming a video for one of their friends. They weren't going to be in this video, as soon as they got the offer, the twins simultaneously thought they should turn it down.

But Larry had been having serious problems managing his emotions for several months now, and he got too deep into the idea that Laurent was manipulating him, so when Laurent refused Eleni's offer, they got into an argument. Only it was meaningless because they wanted the same thing. But Larry clung to the idea like a tick, and Laurent insisted on the absurdity of arguing at all. But Larry rested, freaked out, and left the room slamming the door loudly, and a few hours later Laurent found out that Larry had agreed to this job. And it was so stupid.

And now, when Larry was already on his way to New York, and they wouldn't see each other until the seminars in Paris, Larry spits out such nonsense. And Laurent doesn't know what to say. Because his twin is broken. Under such strong pressure of moral problems and physical exertion. They've been working so hard lately. And Larry has been so bad lately. Five of the seven nights Larry spent in Laurent's bed crying for no reason. Or just lay quietly, burying his forehead in the twin's back. They didn't talk because it hurt too much to divide by two. Laurent is exhausted mentally and now, it is so difficult for him to have a twin brother.

Melissa squeezed Larry dry, this woman pestered Larry from the beginning of autumn, constantly demanding something, and since December something happened between them. Laurent has seen all of Larry's posts. I saw his brother suffer. I saw that Larry spent Valentine's Day at home with Roy and the corner of the broken monitor where there was a photo of him and Melissa. Reggie didn't leave Larry alone either.

This bastard has been sucking money out of them for so many years and doing nothing for the team, he opened a training camp for a trip to Dubai. For a while he was silent, and now something is happening, but Larry does not speak. Because Laurent is also full of problems and the twin does not want to be drawn into his showdown.

Another cancellation of Just Debut hit them not only financially, but also morally. They have worked so hard for this. They have a reinforced concrete contract, according to which, in case of cancellation through no fault of their own, all the money invested is returned to them. The twins were worried about Bruce, who was not so protected. But Larry still took the cancellation of the competition too hard. He worked on it even more than Laurent. He found in this project an outlet and an opportunity to escape from other problems.

After Larry's post, Laurent was flooded with messages from their friends, "What does that mean?", "What's up with Larry?", "Have you fought?" and other questions in the same vein. And what should he answer? That Larry has been pushed to the limit by your pranks on their business? That Larry is not made of iron? That Larry is quite a fragile person? Laurent glanced around at his friends locked the phone and put it in his pocket. But a minute later he pulled out and made a post of one of his statements. And he didn't care that everyone thought it was for Larry because it was for everyone who was texting him and Larry right now. Laurent ignored his phone to Paris, and even there only answered a few. Laurent stayed at the hotel, as both sets of keys to the apartment in Paris were left in Larry's backpack.

The first seminar will go badly. That's what Laurent thought after watching his brother for just a couple of minutes. Introverted, cold, aloof. He kept his distance from Laurent and quite a distance. Laurent saw the worried looks of people, saw and could not do anything. Right now he is powerless. Now Larry won't even come up to him to say hello unless there are other people around. Heck. Laurent turned away and pinched the bridge of his nose. Like it was not on time. And this guy, who looks like Larry to the stars in his eyes, joined Laurent's group. Laurent saw how irritated Larry was. Only in a normal mood, Larry would have arranged a whole show, playfully humiliating the "rival", and now he has gone even deeper into himself. Now he opened their double bond and kicked the cipher after the choreography.

Larry is too hurt to have any reaction to the twin.

Laurent had to pretend that everything was fine and left with Eleni to a restaurant, and Larry, having waited for Playmo, went to karaoke.

Laurent decided to check if Larry went to the apartment but saw the twin sitting on the steps near the front door. Laurent said nothing and simply sat down next to his brother.

- I'm sorry - said Larry quietly looking at the profile of the twin. Laurent nodded briefly. Larry stood up slowly and opened the front door.

Laurent lay on the bed in his bedroom. He never changed and didn't take a shower. He just lay on the bed with his arms outstretched and tried not to think about all the fucking things that had happened to them over the past six months. Larry went into the twin's bedroom and sat on the floor, leaning back against the bed and stretching his legs on the floor. There was a silence between them that they didn't want to break. They knew what they would say to each other, there was no need to start this conversation right now. But Laurent decided that it made no sense to remain silent any longer.

- How bad is it? - Larry chuckled loudly and answered after a long minute.

- Reggie arranged the selection of children for our team, among which was Lilo. He told Lila that it was my idea. - Larry bent his knees, pulling them towards him.

- Motherfucker - hissed Laurent. Now all the puzzles in his head were formed and all his behavior of Larry became clear.

- Yeah - indifferently replied Larry.

- Larry

- Well

- You know that I love you and despite all your shit, problems, and whatever, I will never leave you.

- Why are you saying this?

- I didn't believe for a moment that that post on Instagram was in all seriousness. - Larry climbed onto the bed and looked at Laurent with wide eyes. He couldn't understand what he had done to deserve his twin. And what wrong did Laurent do to get a bastard like Larry? - And I don't believe that you will one day dare to leave me. And even if you try, I won't let you. We have agreed to? - Laurent lifted his head to look into Larry's eyes. In the light of the bedside lamp, Larry's eyes flickered slightly. Larry didn't answer. He simply crawled closer to the twin and leaned over to hug Laurent tightly around the neck. Laurent, smiling warmly, clasped his hands tightly behind Larry's back.

- I love you, Laurent, more than you can imagine - Larry whispered.

- I love you too, twin brother. And try not to be an ass at the seminar tomorrow. - Larry snorted against Laurent's neck. And he probably rolled his eyes.

- Motherfucker.

- But you still love me.

- I have no choice.
