I rub my neck.."Uh..Hey Erik."
A little silence was there for a few seconds until he responded.
"What? What do you want, Seth?"
I sigh and sit down next to him.
"I know- I haven't been the best brother..Neither of us have been but.
I just wanna say..uh"
Erik turns and faces me now. "What. That, you're sorry?."
"uhm..- yea..?"
He grunts a bit.
"Sure. Saying sorry is one thing. Words may brighten me up a bit but.
Words are words.
What if you just become fucking dumb again?"
Ouch- And he thinks I'M the one that's hurting him.
"Look. Erik- Just listen. I know we can't start from the beginning but..-. Just accept my apology. I get now why you've beening calling me an idiot these past few years.."
Sigh.
"I didn't notice that you actually cared Erik ."
He looked a little shocked before he looked downwards, no longer making eye contact with me.
Ah shit.
Did I fuck things up?
Should I hug him? He'll probably hate me for that.
But then again..We haven't had a good hug from each other ever since elementary.
. . . . .
Or maybe he'll just switch up and kill me on the spot.
"I do care. I still do but.. I just stopped trying to hint to you that I did because you're just so-"
He tries to hide his chuckle under his breath.
"Fucking stupid."
This made me smile a bit.
"Fine. I'll accept your apology."
Do it Seth.
You should do it.
I pull him in for a hug.
Please don't stab me.
It was complete silence until he hugged back.
I was shocked, I'm still breathing and it doesn't seem like he's angry.
I started hearing some sniveling too.
"Are you- fucking crying?" I try and keep in my laughter.
"Shut the fuck up. Don't point out the obvious you dumbass bitch.."
Damn. He switched up hella fucking quick.
"Ok ok. Sorry"
He then pushes me back, wiping his eyes.
"I'm just. A bit glad that I kinda have my brother again.
....
"This doesn't mean I'll stop being a total dick. You aren't that free."
I smile.. "Yea. Ok, whatever you say Erik."
He lets out a small grin.
"Oh- uh..Hey Erik.. I have something of yours..I've uh..had it for awhile now."
"What?"
I take out my pocket, his earring.
His eyes widened and grabbed it from me.
"So it was YOU WHO TOOK THEM?!"
