Hacked IInto my heart ( davesol )

9: Bro

Daves POV:

I wiped the tears from my eyes a while after finishing, looking at the picture on my desk. I picked it up and stared at it, or mostly at Bro.

Why did it have to happen?

I was cut off by my phone ringing. I picked it up and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello Dave, It's Rose."

"Oh.. Hey, What's up?"

"I was just wondering what you and Dirk were planning to do.."

"Do?"

"For Bro's anniversary."

Oh right..

"Um.. We haven't really talked about it.. Plus, Sollux doesn't know yet.."

"Well you should tell him. He's going to find out soon enough about him.. He lives with you too, how does he not know yet?"

"I dunno.. We'll talk it over when we're alone, then I'll pester you or somethin', Kay?"

"Did you just say.. 'kay' ?" I heard her chuckle. "Wow Strider, I didn't think a 'cool' kid like you would say something like that."

"Shut up. I'll talk to you later."

"Kay." She laughed and hung up.

I sighed and laid down, closing my eyes. I eventually fell asleep.

"Bo!"
"There Ya' go lil' man! You got it!"
Bro kneeled down, holding his arms out to me. I was two and starting to walk.

"Come on Dave! You can do it!" He grinned down at me as I stumbled over my two small feet.
When I came close enough, he scooped me up in his arms.

"Wow, you rock lil' man!"
"Bo!" I smiled.
"Heh, yeah Bo. Try saying BRO."
"Bo!"

"No no. Brrrrrrooooo."
"Bo!"

"Bro, can we play?" A younger Dirk asked, tugging at Bro's pants.
"Sure, come on!" He scooped up Dirk in his other arm.

"Wow, you're sooo cool bro! You can carry the both of us!" Dirk grinned.
"Well what did you expect? I'm fricking awesome!"

"Bo'th awstum!" I tried to say.

They both smiled and Bro kissed my forehead.
"Not as awesome as you, Lil' man."

I woke up and rubbed my eyes.
Damn it.. A dream again..

I stood up and heard the front door open.
"Dirk? Sollux?" I asked, walking out to the living room.

"Hey Dave, what's up?" Dirk said, looking normal.
Sollux on the other hand, looked like he saw a puppy get slapped in the face.

"Sollux?"
"O-Oh hey.." He looked up, trying to pull off a smile. Failed.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothiing.. Um.. Ju2t 2aw a puppy get 2lapped."

Well shit, how'd he know I was thinking that?

"Bull, no one would slap a puppy unless they were a fucking asshole who hates puppies. Like a really messed up cat lover or some shit like that, who have the most hate towards and only adorable puppies. They'll walk up to an innocent puppy who's just mind his one business and bam, puppy slap to the fucking snout. I guess instead of a puppy slap you can call it a snout slap. Maybe a snlap for short-"
"Dave, you talk too much." Dirk thew a bottle of AJ at me.
