Love Letters To Luna

Chapter Three

"No." Justin spoke as he turned to his brother, who sat in the chair across from him. It was 11:00 in the morning, and he had a script reading in the next hour and he barely had 5 hours of sleep since he was busy studying for the new role he got. He was too tired to deal with his younger brother's shenanigans.

"It would be interesting!" Jonathan leaned forward, giving his brother a convincing smile.

"Jonathan, I don't know if you know, but I'm literally an oscar-winning actor." Justin raised an eyebrow as he watched his brother slump his shoulders in defeat. "Why did you even come up with this idea?"

"Nobody's booked me for a wedding in forever." Jon crossed his arms over his chest and pouted, seeming like a child rather than a grown adult. Justin simply rolled his eyes at his brother's childish antics.

"Your first thought was for me to marry some random girl?" Justin laughed at the hilariously stupid idea.

Jonathan let out a sigh and looked up at the ceiling. His brother's house was rather simple, significantly different to his status, his ceilings came equipped with low lights in them, it was painted white in contrast to his dark green wallpaper. He wished he could live the way his brother lives, instead he's probably a week away from being evicted.

"Nobody's booked me for anything in forever, really." Jonathan chuckled dryly, letting his eyes fall to the floor, admiring the soft gray carpet.

The silence that seeped into the air was loud, Justin looked at his younger brother with sad eyes, he knew of the boys struggle. Jonathan had spent almost half of his dedicated to getting the job he has now, and when he first started out he was amazing, almost big enough to host grand celebrity events, but after the accident he's been out of a business for far longer than he should be. He wished he could help the boy, seeing as it's just the two of them in this big city. He couldn't go back to their parents because the ticket would be too expensive, even so his parents have already made it clear that they never want to see either of them anymore.

"It's whatever, I'll be fine." Jonathan shrugged his shoulders. He was always like that, shrugging things off and putting it off as "whatever". Justin hasn't seen him cry since he was 23, it's been 7 years.

"Jonathan, if I could help in anyway, let me know." Justin reached forward and grabbed his brother's hand. "I could give you a place to stay, or help fund you. Or something. Anything."

"Just know I'm here to help."

Jonathan raised an eyebrow before smiling as he patted his brother's hand ontop of his. He gave their hands a squeeze and sighed as he prepared himself.

"My dear brother, the only way you can help me is by getting married."

Justin scowled, pushing Jon's hands away as he slumped in his chair. He was hoping the younger wouldn't say that, but of course he knew better. Jonathan was a stubborn man, he has never let go of anything he wanted, and he gets what he wants.

"Why are you so hung on me marrying someone?"

"Think about it." Jonathan started. Justin crossed his arms. "If I plan the wedding of my brother, an Oscar winning actor, it would quite literally change my life."

"I'd be able to gain recognition and then, boom! Business would be booming for me. I'd get booked left right and center that I might not even have time to water my plants."

"You don't have plants." Justin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Besides the point. What I'm saying is that you could save me from my misery, bankruptcy, homelessness, and you could possibly cure my depression." Jonathan nodded his head before holding up a finger, rethinking his previous sentence. "Wait, scratch the last part, there's no way you could cure my depression."

He smiled and turned back to his brother who sat speechless, trying his best to process everything. Justin weighed the pros and cons of his brother's proposition. He was a well known bachelor in the industry, which means he might lose a lot of fans for suddenly saying he got married. Then again, it would get the press standing outside his house to go away when they finally realize he already has someone. Plus it would help his brother, which is his main concern. Maybe this idea isn't so bad.

There was a long pause as Jonathan awaited Justin's answer. The brunette sat on the edge of his seat, clasping his hands in hopes that his brother would agree. Justin looked up at his brother and sighed, rolling his eyes. He knew he was going to regret this.

"Where am I gonna get a wife?" Jonathan cheered and clapped his eyes. He leaned forward giving his brother a kiss in the cheeks.

"I don't know, I don't care. Tinder is available to you too my dearest brother." Jonathan beamed, squeezing his brother in a tight hug. "I thank you for all the sacrifices you've made for me and my happiness."

"Now you recognize my sacrifices?"

"They weren't that big of a deal before." Jonathan smiled, shrugging his shoulders. Of course, Justin knew his brother was only joking so he played it off with a chuckle. He checked his watch and hissed as he realized he spent the past 2 hours with his brother, talking about useless things. He was definitely going to be late to the script reading.

"I gotta go—" Justin gave his brother an apologetic look.

"I get it, you're a busy man." Jonathan smiled his usual heartwarming smile and stood up from his seat, making his way to the door. As Justin followed him, he started ranting about his ideas, and Justin couldn't lie, they were very grand and interesting ideas, he might be looking forward to what wedding his brother creates. Suddenly, Justin's phone started ringing as they neared the door, throwing Jonathan off from his train of thought as he spoke.

"I think you should answer that." Jonathan spoke, opening the door holding it open for the older.

"It's probably my manager calling to ask where I am."

"All more of a reason to answer." Jonathan rolled his eyes as his brother simply shrugged. For a major star, you would think he would stay on-top of his communication with his manager, but they were further apart from each other than anything. They couldn't even be considered friends.

"Hello?" Justin raised his phone to his ear, having a bored face as he waited for the person to speak.

Jonathan watched as his brother's expression shift throughout the conversation. He couldn't tell what they meant, Justin was always like that. He was an unreadable person, private in everything. Justin looked at the ground, letting out a small smile as the call came to an end, Jonathan waited patiently for him to spill the beans.

"I guess you'll get your wedding, brother dearest." Justin patted Jon on this back, giving him a wide smile.

"I just got my wife."
