Ranboo stood in the airport, waiting to see his brother.
He had to get their chauffeur to drive them since they didn't feel like driving and Matthew's at work.
Ranboo also wasn't with anyone.
Again, Matthew was at work.
Tiffany was at some random party and probably forgot that Charlie was coming home.
At least he could spend some time with family.
The last time they spent time with family was 2 months ago!
It was with Tiffany, the 2 went to a boba shop.
Ranboo bought boba for both of them.
Tiffany only thanked Ranboo and was on her phone the entire time.
Ranboo didn't really wanna think about that.
Charlie was gonna be out of the plane!
I mean, he already was.
He was just.. In.. Security?
Ranboo still stood there.
4:58
The clock read, Ranboo was starting to get more excited by the minute.
"Mars?"
Charlie's voice..!
Ranboo looked up to see Charlie.
Tears almost went down their face.
He ran towards Charlie, pulling him into a tight hug, almost making both of them fall down.
"I missed you!" Ranboo said, regaining their balance.
"I missed you too, kid." Charlie said with a soft smile.
"Now wipe away those tears." Charlie chuckled as Ranboo did what they were told.
Ranboo laughed softly.
"Where's Matthew and Tiffany..?" Oh..
"Uhm.. Matthew's at work, Tiffany's at a party of some sort." Ranboo said, disappointment filling their voice a little.
"Oh.." Charlie mumbled.
"But.. Cmon! Let's go!" Ranboo said, grabbing Charkie's wrist.
Charlie laughed, grabbing his luggage and quickly following Ranboo.
The chauffeur helped Charlie put his bag into the trunk and helped him inside.
"Sooooo.. What's happening in school? You started a week ago, and I only checked what was happening in a call!" Charlie said, sitting across from Ranboo.
"School's great! Same friend group, same boyfriend suprisingly.. Andddd.. Nothing much, actually.." Ranboo paused to think.
"Oh! Wait! There is something happening!"
"Spill it!" Charlie said excitedly.
"I'm throwing a party this weekend!"
"Ooohh!!" Charlie said in excitement.
2 hours later.. (at home)
Ranboo and Charlie entered the house, a butler and a maid surrounding the 2 instantly.
"Let me take this for you." The butler said, grabbing both the bag and luggage Charlie had.
"Would you like anything to eat or drink? Perhaps tea or chocolate?" The maid asked.
"Eh, no thanks. Thank you, though!" The maid nodded and left.
Another maid came, "Hello! Welcome back! What would you like to eat for dinner?"
"Uhm.. Hey kid, you choose." Charlie nudged Ranboo.
"Oh- me?" Ranboo paused.
"Steak, tell the chef he can choose the sides and dessert." The maid smiled and left.
"Ah, so you're a fancy little guy ever since I left, aren't ya?" Charlie laughed while ruffling Ranboo's hair, also making them laugh.
That's when the door opened.
"Matthew?" Matthew looked up from his phone.
The shock on his face when he saw Charlie was PRICELESS.
"CHARLIE?!" Matthew yelled out, immideatly giving Charlie a hug.
"I thought you weren't coming until 11?" Ranboo asked as Matthew pulled away.
"Came home early!" Matthew said with a smile.
"The first time you had dinner with us in a while.." Ranboo mumbled, but not loud enough for people to hear.
"I also gave Tiffany a ride. She should be here in about a min-" Matthew was cut off.
"CHARLIE!" Next thing you know, Tiffany jumps Charlie.
"Hey Tiffany..!" Charlie chuckled.
>>>>
Everyone sat at the dinner table, just eating, nothing special.
Besides Ranboo, he was texting their friends under the table so nobody would notice.
"Hey! Ranboo!" Matthew called out to the boy across from him.
"Yeah?" Ranboo asked, looking up.
"No phones at the table."
Ranboo rolled their eyes.
"So now you care?"
"Ranboo, this is the first time Charlie is back. Show some respect."
"Matthew, it's fi-" Charlie was cut off.
"No, it's not!" Matthew yelled.
"Some respect you have." Ranboo said out of anger.
"RANBOO! Put the phone away." Matthew repeated.
"So the first time you talk to me in a while is to yell at me? That's funny." Ranboo scoffed.
"I've been busy with work, so what?! Goddamn! You're making a big deal out of it for nothing!"
"Busy with work?! For nothing?! ITS ALWAYS 'I'm busy with work'. WHEN IS IT YOURE BUSY WITH ACTUALLY MAKING MEMORIES FOR YOUR FAMILY?!"
"I WORK ALL DAY! THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS APPRECIATE IT!"
Ranboo groaned and stormed off to their room.
There. He cried.
He bawled their eyes out.
It's been so long since they actually tried.
They've tried.
They've tried so hard to be loved by a sibling other than Charlie.
This is what they get.
"Goddamn.." Ranboo managed to choke out.
They tried not to cry.
They really tried.
It didn't work in the slightest.
"Ranboo?" A voice said from behind the door.
Ranboo wiped away their tears, hiding the fact they were crying.
"Yeah?" Ranboo replied, trying not to make it sound like They've been crying.
"Matthew wants you to come back down." Ranboo sighed and wiped away the tears that kept coming.
"What do you want?" Ranboo asked as soon as he came back down.
"I want an apology." Matthew said instantly.
"Great. You first."
"Guys- can we not do thi-" Charlie was cut off.
"I'm not apologizing for something I don't have to."
Ranboo scoffed.
"Yeah. No. Night, Charlie." Ranboo said, waving.
"Good night.."
